Small bathroom

If your bathroom is quite small, and it has a window, there is often little choice but to place the furniture in the following way.

If you still cannot fit all the units you want into the room, or you feel it is too crowded with them all in, then ask yourself if you really need all you have chosen.

Some space could be freed by combining the bath and shower, rather than having a separate shower cubicle, or the shower could be re-located to another room in the house, such as a downstairs shower room.

You can of course re-arrange the layout of the existing room by either moving the service points, moving/blocking up the window, or repositioning the door. Remember though that this will inevitably involve professional assistance which will increase the budget dramatically.

Large bathroom

With a large space to work with the options are often limitless. The images below give some idea of what can be achieved, from one large bathroom to a bathroom, separate shower room, and/or separate wc.

Smaller bathroom and seperate wc

If you do opt to split a large room to provide a separate shower or wc facility then professional assistance should be sought, especially if sitting a new window, or cutting a doorway into a load-bearing wall.

Do not be deterred if your bathroom or separate shower room/wc does not have a window for ventilation as electric extractor fans can easily be installed to prevent condensation build up.
