    In that space I wouldn't bother with a separate toilet.
    It will make it feel more cramped.

    At least with a combined toilet / bath it would "look" and "feel' bigger.

    Like this. Note that I'd look at altering the window for aesthetic purposes and put a nice fern garden outside the window. Virtually the same as idea #3 @Westminster had.

    I like your #1 best, better than mine (your #2). I think you'd miss some nice towel-hanging space on the way in if you did #3.

    For all of the options with a new toilet area, maybe have frosted glass on the whole or just top-half of the inner toilet wall parallel to the window. Would let much-needed light into the toilet during the day. With @JacM's the whole wall could be frosted. Of course it could overcapitalise and be wrong for the style of the house :)

    Ezyjamb does away with the standard door jamb and uses steel uprights against the studs instead. You save about 40mm - 20mm for each side of the usual jamb. I'm using them in doors off a corridor which is only 900mm wide and which I want to be wheelchair friendly (820mm at least). Without moving studs, I can get 820mm doors at the ends of a 900mm corridor. The current doors are 800 and 790 (yes, non-standard).

    I have been to a couple of houses that have used roller shutters to close of laundries! Works well. One in a hallway another in a semi trendy joint in marrickville area

    Will be having a combined shower/bath.
    Sliding door unpossible, goes out to hallway that way.

    I've tried to find the mechanisms whereby the doors open outwards, but then slide straight back into pockets. No luck yet, at least for the sort of money I was thinking for laundry doors!

    No ensuite as yet, that's the only bathroom and toilet.
    Future planning for an ensuite as well.

    True. Go with one of those bifold doors then.

    A combined toilet/shower is the way to go.
    I love sitting down while I shower.

    Had this problem recently although ours is only 2x2.4m. Gave up in the end and it is going back in together starting Monday. Looking at pic 3, can you have a smaller bath 1200 or 1500 and put a slider door to go into cavity behind toilet and a corner vanity. With no doors may open the feel of space a bit more . Although no plans deal with anyone wanting to wash hands after loo while someone in shower.
