Small ensuite layout - placement of toilet
Kaye Davey
last year
Hi all, we are currently finishing our new ensuite and I am confused about where to place the toilet. The plan as drawn by the designer is shown below. The room dimensions are 1490 x 2450. As it stands, the toilet we have bought will slightly protrude over the door (by about 2cm, so not much). I have either thought of:
- Putting the toilet next to the vanity so you have shower | vanity | toilet in a row (but this would result in a really small vanity unit); or
- Putting the toilet against the small wall next to the door. I could then have (just) enough space to run a vanity (even if it was slightly narrower at that end) so that we would have enough benchspace; or
- We could leave the toilet where it is planned. It is an ensuite so will only be used by my OH and me and we are not planning on selling any time soon.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Shared bathroom, doubles as ensuite, long narrow space! Help!
Comments (13)Thanks houssaon and rinqreation! Funny - hubby has the same 2 door hate! It sounds like I'm being outvoted on the shared ensuite idea. :) We've actually been set on both the configurations you suggested, we moved away from yours houssaon because we really wanted to keep a closed off office space (and hubby built the front deck and landing already for the door at the end of the hallway!). And I don't know why we shifted the door on the bedroom back to the same area, I think it was about having easy access to all the kids bedrooms. But maybe we should shift it back as you suggest rinqreation. Joice, the door at the end of the hallway is the front door, the entrance closest to the street, that you would come to first if you were a visitor. Not totally necessary, but we reinstated it before we decided we wanted the entrance up the stairs (middle bottom) which would be under a carport. Thanks for all your input!! It's really helpful to have some unattached opinions. I'm keen to hear from anyone else on the shared ensuite or 2 door hate question! :)...See MoreBest bathroom layout for my first house?

Comments (14)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.

Comments (51)A very simple layout keeping the floor space within the kitchen, the WIP takes up a lot of space with not much gain, The broom cupboard could be moved to the Laundry/entrance, narrow. If the wall has been bumped out to the eaves on the deck side giving an extra 300 depth to the kitchen you could make the island 2700 x 1200 and all drawers. The wall of narrow pantry will hold all pantry needs and more, no deep cupboards to dig into. cheers...See MoreAdvice on layout of ensuite and wardrobe for our master b/room.

last yearlast modified: last yearI would try to gain as much depth as possible to cover the toilet and add to leg space. It's a new bathroom so important to try and make it not look like an oversight, design wise. "Near enough is good enough"
