stuck for ideas best options for main bathroom
Hi Everyone 👋
We are currently renovating our holiday house on the river Murray here is SA.
This only happens on the weekends so she’s a slow process.
We have completed the laundry adding a second toilet. I’ll post before and after pics.
We have also just finished the main toilet just in time for Christmas.
The main bathroom is next on the list.
It’s quiet a large room, but definitely needs help
ie.
*we really want to keep the plumbing in the areas they are in to keep the cost down.
*shower is to small
- definitely need a couple of niches but shower walls are solid brick.
- we want to be rid of the bath all together.
*would like the vanity to be at least 1200 long and would prefer more drawers than doors. - window will be replaced same size.
- would also be a big bonus to have a storage / linen cupboard
- vj wall panels are a must to tie in with laundry and toilet

ideas for lights for family room/play room in bungalow
Comments (8)Despite previous opinions I have to say this - DON'T GET DOWN LIGHTS!!!! We had them in our previous home. They were constantly blowing no matter what kind of bulb used. The casings kept breaking. This meant we couldn't just change the bulb ourselves. It drove me mental. They spotlight certain parts of a room instead of lighting the whole room so when one of our main "culprits" kept blowing in the kitchen, I had no lighting above that bench until we could get an electrician in. More than one electrician told us they are a serious fire hazard. I will never have them again!...See Moresmall bathroom - adding a bath for the kids
Comments (6)I understand your need to bathe your little people but I would not change a thing in this bathroom. What I would do is find a bathing station that could be placed in the shower temporarily until your little folks are no longer little, By the way, bath tubs regardless of the lovely ads that show sumptuous bathing areas as components of enormous and well appointed master bedrooms, are passe. A great idea 150 years ago and for the most part the only reasonable and effective solution. Today, bathing in most homes happens very infrequently and adding a tub to your space would be the tail wagging the dog. Keep the nice space you have created and add a temporary bathing solution.

Comments (0)If you have a small, dimly lit bathroom, you aren't alone! Often throughout the 60's and 70's it seems as though bathrooms were an after-thought to the general house design, and not considered to be a valuable use of floor space. That view has changed thankfully, and beautiful bathrooms are now one of the best value-adds in a home. As a general rule, investing in bathroom improvements will not only add to the value, but will also enhance your enjoyment of living in the home, and improve saleability should you decide to sell. If you do have a small bathroom, don't despair! There are always options to make better use of the space, introduce additional light, and just add a touch of luxury! The use of glass and light colours can greatly enhance the sense of space, and modern Solatubes can not only introduce excellent natural light where you need it most, but also come in models that provide ventilation, and LED lighting once the sun goes down. If you have mains pressure water, consider adding a rainhead to your shower. The inclusion of a built-in shower niche shelves not only look great but provide a neat spot for all your shower supplies. If you currently have a shower curtain, chances are it has caused you despair at some point or another. A low-profile tiled hob with a glass door will do an excellent job of containing the water (especially ideal if you do want the rainhead!), and you will never have a wet, cold, shower curtain clinging to you again. Some comments from our wonderful clients on this project; "The job is now completed, and we are very happy with the result. We have been enjoying a lovely new shower, bathroom and toilet. I would recommend Wayne and his team, especially if like us, you can’t be bothered with project managing a whole lot of different contractors in order to do a renovation". "...there were no hidden costs, and I think all contingencies had been thought of before the quote was sent, which was great for us that there were “no surprises”. Thank you so much Alex and Chrissy!

4 months agoNot knowing the dimensions of the room, this is just a concept. Place the shower across the end of the room. Incorporating a waterproofed window in the shower recess. Have a nib wall in shower enclosure, this will give a ledge for your numerous shower products, and allow the vanity to be built flush with that wall to avoid any small gaps that collect dirt. Depending on the length and width of the room either incorporate your linen storage on the same wall as the vanity or add storage on adjacent wall. Remembering the storage for towels etc only needs to be 400mm deep. (Folding towels/linen to fit accordingly)

3 months agoAnother concept. Since you said you want to remove bath, this gives you lots of room for a long shower recess and storage on the right hand wall, and a two metre double vanity on the left hand wall. Towel rails on wall behind door or next to shower on the bottom wall. You could either have a glass door to shower, or maybe extend the shower recess to two metres and have a walk in shower with a 1200mm glass and 800mm walk in access. If you make the shower 1000mm or 1100mm wide, this will accommodate a full length ledge for products along the right hand wall.
