Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Sep 24, 2016 8:14 pm Hey guys, I am building my first home and drafting the plan. It`s a small one floor, 17 sq so the spaces are very limited. Do you reckon a bathroom 1580 x 3940 is too small? It should fit basin, sink, shower and bath. The 2 bedrooms ar currently 3100x3000. I can make them 3000x3000 and have a bigger bathroom 1780 x 3940. Not sure what s better. Also I found this picture which could be a good idea.

It's very exciting planning everything I think this is personal preference, I personally would rather gain the extra 200mm in the bathroom. Loosing 100mm in each bedroom wouldn't make too much difference to space but having extra in bathroom will be noticeable I hope this helps Re: Narrow Bathroom 3Sep 25, 2016 8:57 am I like that picture. Not sure I totally agree with Jena. 100mm can be a big loss - if in the wrong spot eg at foot of bed/walk way. My only comments would be to ensure you have good room either side of toilet - this can be annoying for bigger people; and try to have a decent sink/bowl. Otherwise you'll get constant splashing - even when people are careful - when they wash etc That sink looks very narrow. . Re: Narrow Bathroom 5Sep 25, 2016 9:25 am luca.321 Thanks guys, What do you think about having the shower and then the bath? Re: Narrow Bathroom 6Sep 25, 2016 9:29 am Not sure what I did then - posted and only got the quote. I think the shower/bath looks good. Could be a fun thing for kids - or adults ... AND - a male thing - might help keep the bath clean. Where are you planning to put towels ? And - when only using bath you might need a mat to stop slips ? Re: Narrow Bathroom 7Sep 25, 2016 6:45 pm I like the bath then shower. Maybe add 100mm to bathroom and split the over 100mm between the bedrooms. Space is so valuable in every room of the house. Re: Narrow Bathroom 8Nov 07, 2016 11:10 am Agreed - losing 100mm in each bedroom will hardly be noticed compared to a 200mm gain in the bathroom. Plus that extra 200mm gives you a few more bath options too! Re: Narrow Bathroom 9Dec 13, 2016 12:09 pm you can make your wall 70mm instead of 200mm if that helps. Thanks again for this information. If you do hear anything different, would be great to know 4 8256 dimensions on your original plan are inconsistent and with accurate dimensions (including site plan, upstairs and down) i could make a proper scale drawing with furniture… 3 7521 So it looks like we finally have some movement on site! Definitely later than expected, but I'll take any progress at this point. I'll drop by over the weekend to get… 5 27738 |
