swapping the ens and wiw would allow the wiw to be a better size and shape to include a central island in teh wiw that would have to include the hallway to allow enough space to walk around all sides or would you prefer the wiw to be more separate from the bedroom?

Something to think about! If everything stays where it is - and forgetting the island for a moment - can you see any way to use the shower space more effectively or is there really only room for a shower in there?

I would like to see more of your floorplan

Sure thing

have you considered flipping the Linen to face bedrooms, or keeping it and adding an extra cupboard within the shower space facing the bedrooms, you could work with 400 keeping the shower at 1800

That’s a good idea. I will definitely consider it. I have gone well over the maximum number of revisions that were originally allowed in my contract - my lovely building designer has been so patient! - so really need to think carefully about it all now. An extra storage cupboard would be very useful though. Thanks!

You could swing door into ensuite the other way and make your vanitygo around the corner and have the drop-down against the WIR wall. It might be weird but you'd have enough space to do this.

actually ignore that idea. it makes no sense whatsoever and you'd be tangled up if more than one person in there

Haha I’ve had so many ideas end in this way! If I put the toilet on the opposite wall, there should be room for the drop down bench, right?

And maybe I’ll just keep my giant shower. I can use it to wash the dog!

So I tried editing and can't seem to not draw an enormous phallus in your ensuite but I was thinking about one of those bathrooms with vanity in frontof a wall and with shower and toilet behind either side of the wall.
You have so much space! you need to give some to all those people trying to fit baths in their ensuites

Hahahaha! ... Yes I like the wall idea! Do I have a lot of space? That’s good to know. I can’t tell. I have tried spray painting on the lawn and that helps a bit to help me get an idea.

Better. Both your bathrooms have lots of space but small vanities constrained by toilet locations. What has been your driver with your layouts.

As above both bathrooms are large with quite large showers, gaps in the middle of the room and a squishy vanity and toilet.

Are you having the minor bathrooms occupied full time? If so you may want to consider a separate toilet from main bathroom.

These were the bathroom layouts presented to me when we began the process 6 months ago and to be honest I didn’t really give them much thought until now. The showers are indeed too big and the vanities too small. The ensuite/WIW has changed many times however, but I still can’t get it to a point where I feel I am making best use of the space. I feel like the toilet in the ensuite might be where it is to allow for a hidden cistern? I’m happy with just a regular toilet though.

Thanks for all the ideas. I will take them into consideration.

Does this layout for the ensuite work or am I still wasting space? The shower is 1000 x 1200, the vanity is 1200, the makeup table is 1000 and pretend the toilet doesn’t have a hidden cistern.

One last suggestion which will give you two 900 vanities plus a 900 dressing table next to the window for natural light during the day.

I like the vanity against that wall. I will try it out in my app. Thanks!

Hidden toilet cisterns are a nightmare if maintenance or repairs required. Avoid if possible

I like Siriuskey’s suggestion and you could put a frosted door on the toilet if you like, as I’ve seen done in several expensive hotels I’ve stayed in.

Using sirisukey's last suggestion, I'd put an in-wall sliding door into the bathroom. The obvious place for the towel rails is to the right of the door as you go in, and they won't get much air behind the door (assuming you leave the door open a lot like me).
