Help with new bathroom layout

5 years ago

Would like some assistance with the layout of a new build townhouse i am buying.

I am looking to have a 1670x670 shower over bath instead of a shower and would like a vanity bigger than the 600mm wide one currently shown on the plan below.

To the left of the bathroom is a bedroom which you can see the wardrobe, and then a small store cupboards, on the right is another bedroom, which has a wardrobe and then linen.

I can swap the store and linen cupboards around and also move the door, which is a 710mm hinge door.

There are no windows in the bathroom and the only requirement i'd like is to not have the toilet be in clear view of the door, ie first thing you see (but if this isnt possible its not a deal breaker).

Would ideally like a 750/800/900mm vanity.

What i've come up with so far is the SOB goes along wall where toilet vanity currently is, vanity goes on wall where shower is, and then the toilet go where the doorway currently is and move the doorway over. If anyone can come up with anything better i'd love to hear it.

Thanks heaps in advance for your time and suggestions.

If you can narrow the linen cupboard, then you do do a similar layout to that GB has shown but with a changed door swing, swap the basin and WC, putting the WC on the wall beside the door so the WC is concealed behind the door.

You could do a wet room on the south end of the room with the tub and shower combined to conserve space. Window would go above tub, however with privacy in mind it would not be low as you have in your cad drawing. see photo. Vanities would go on the west wall with toilet on the east wall. I am guessing at the dimensions because you mention meters and in the US we use feet, but it sounds like about 9'x15" ? The location of the entry door really impacts the layout of the room, but it looks like it cannot be moved.

Third vote for getting a professional involved, but i'll still offer my layman's suggestion given that you're just soliciting general ideas at this point. If it was my space, I'd switch the bathroom and the laundry room around, keeping just one of the walls currently enclosing the toilet. Its hard to estimate precise measurements from the drawing, so it may not be feasible, but here's what i mean

We have a 900x900 shower and it's plenty big enough. Neither of your proposed layouts looks that great, to be perfectly honest, sorry! In the first layout, you could improve it quite a lot by swapping the toilet and vanity (centre the toilet under the window on the bottom right of the picture if possible), and having the shower door on the other wall (beside the door). Then, you could have a towel rail on the wall beside the door (i.e. behind the door when it's open), which would be accessible from the shower but hidden when the door was open. An 800x1200 shower might be a good size for your space. You'd have to choose a toilet that doesn't protrude too far, plus a narrow vanity. With that layout, you could have a long but narrow wall-hung vanity, with a big mirror covering the wall between the windows, which would make the room feel bigger and would give a good amount of storage.

As PSA and GB have suggested...however you could avoid the door slamming into the toilet/vanity by opting for a sliding door.

Yes, a sliding door is a great option in tight spaces, but I tend to avoid it for bathrooms and toilets, because they are not great at keeping in moisture, sounds and smells.
