Bathroom Renovation Layout

Doing some early plans on bathroom renovation on my PPOR..

Image below is current layout with 900mm corner shower base,Spa bath on left hand wall(1) and vanity (2)next to it.

Image below is a rough plan with us extending out shower wall to have both walls 3.6m and incorporating a double shower,free standing bath(1400-1500mm) and a 1500mm vanity(4)

Any ideas on layout,better use of space welcomed…

 

Where would you put towel rails? When you get out of the shower you probably don't want to walk all the way over to the opposite wall.

 

The top divider between the shower and the bath.

It is a bit cramped but I can't really think of a better layout without sacrificing something. Does the house have another toilet? Do you need the toilet in there?

 

Would you use such a large sink in the vanity? I require some dry bench space next to our sinks and I have never thought to myself "gee I wish I had a larger sink". We have dual sinks which are very useful.

 

That’s just the way the app draws them

 

Unfortunately this is the only toilet in the house..thought about housing toilet separately and building a wall but would probably use up to much space

 

Yep App is MagicPlan and is very much a rough mud map

 

I like Coota's plan in post #1 with a large vanity on the long wall, but position the toilet next to the bath so there is more space to stand in front of it than it currently has close to the bath. Towels can hang above the bath when no-one is using it.

 

Agreed @Angel



Thoughts @Westminster

 

Hey @Coota9 good to see you!

I like this last version the best. There's not going to be a heap of room between vanity and toilet but it will be enough.

Is the blue lines shower screens or tiled walls? I would potentially swing the door the other way or it's likely to hit the screens and smash them.

For towels I would probably use robe hooks. These could be on the back of the door, on the shower blue lines (if they aren't glass) or even an over shower screen holder like this

 

@Westminster
Do you mean space between bath and toilet or standing room between toilet and vanity?

 

On a side note, heated towel rails take up a bit of room but they're oh so nice in the middle of winter vs a cold damp towel. That also explains my aversion to towel hooks ie towels don't dry adequately.

 

Between the toilet and the vanity. There will be enough, just be mindful when selecting toilet suites and vanities that they are ones that are too deep so that there is room to stand and move between the 2.

 

We will look at doing a back to wall bath and also a slimline toilet to give us more space..

 

Thanks @wylie all great suggestions..

Son has done a bathroom reno recently and pushed in his mirror cabinet into the wall cavity to gain extra room..

I think I have settled on the layout but before I purchase bath/vanity & toilet I will dedicate a 3.6 X 2 mtr space on my garage floor to see if it’s workable with cardboard cut outs first…
