Bathroom layout help please (pics included)

[Muffinbutton]

Hi, I'd like some thoughts on the new ensuite layout please.
The room will be 1.83m by 3.65m. The soil pipe will be in the top right corner so the toilet has to there.
The door can be moved if needed.

We've got great views from the house, so my plan was to be able to drink wine luxuriate in the bath and enjoy the views.
I've attached 3 plans. Which do you think will work best?

There will be another shower in the family bathroom, but no other bath in the house. We've no kids.

I have just moved my vanity away from a window because I missed having a big mirror to look at myself in over the sink . I think I’d go for 2

I prefer 1 because I'm not so keen on the cubicle and bath running along the same wall. It also gives a squarer floor space for getting dried. It mucks up your lying in the bath, with wine and a good view though.

I would put the vanity next to the bath, if you're doing make up in there then it'll be better to have the light from the window.

Then have shower opposite toilet.

Similar dimensions for our bathroom and every bathroom designer /shop we went to said to put the bath along the short wall as you have in No. 1 as it will make the room look much bigger.

I also think opening the pocket door to have the bath immediately in front of you will make it seem smaller - if you have the sink in front of you, the room will seem bigger as you walk in from the bedroom as there'll be more floor space facing you.

Thanks everyone. Aesthetically and practically I was preferring number 1 and I think that confirms it. If the bath taps are in the middle or in the window end I'll still be able to lolope in the bath and look out the window.
Number 1 also seems to look more spacious to me.

Ditch the separate shower cubicle. Bath on left with shower over, vanity on right next to loo, have a real door rather than a pocket and enjoy a spacious bathroom.

It's all about how you want to use the room, personally I think if you have nice views the room is screaming out for a large freestanding bath(1800x800) under the window, this would give you an amazing focal point on entry, I would then look to having a large double vanity on the right hand wall which will allow you to have a big mirror to reflect the light and views!
w/c top right and shower facing it.(or lose the shower if you feel you can live without)

Sorry I meant vanity on lh wall!

sorry not much help here but - what's a pocket door?

i agree with cheshire renovation

Why does option 2 have a much smaller vanity?

No 1! The other two layouts you'll be in the bath with either your head by the loo and looking at the shower, or head by the shower and looking at the loo... it looks the most spacious too.

Why does option 2 have a smaller vanity? There is no need for it to be smaller.

Actually, in option 1 – is there enough leg room between the loo and the vanity to sit down without knocking your knees?

I too don’t know what a pocket door is - Googling.

Also, is the window low enough for you to see out of it if you're lying in the bath?

A pocket door is a sliding door that disappears, when fully open, into a compartment in the adjacent wall. Pocket doors are used for architectural effect, or when there is no room for the swing of a hinged door. They can travel on rollers suspended from an overhead track or also feature tracks or guides along the floor. Both single- and double-door versions are used, depending on how wide an entry is desired.

Also remember that when you flush, microscopic bits of stuff in the loo will blast out and settle (even if you close the loo lid, some still comes out - can’t remember the proper name for it) so wouldn’t fancy having vanity unit too close to the loo if possible.

I would also want a towel rail, possibly close enough to the bath to reach from the bath/shower. Maybe somewhere for a seat/storage thing - it’s nice to have something that’s not the loo to sit on or put things on.

Oh and towel rail - would want one of the dual fuel ones that is plumbed into your central heating but that you can also switch on when the central heating is off, and that is electric. That way, when the heating is off and it’s pleasantly mild you can switch it on for a little while to warm up your towel if it’s a bit chilly, and then afterwards to ensure towels are dried. There always seems to be those few weeks just after you switch the central heating off that it’s fine for being in the house but the towels don’t dry very well...

Vanity unit in front of window for sure. A bath next to the window can be draughty and risk embarrassing scenarios if anyone can overlook into the window

hiwtheheck v comprehensive! Thank you. I did google and actually watched a short video. I’ve always found they stick or don’t run smoothly or don’t shit flush etc. Think have never used a newly and well installed one.

Sorry shut

How low is your bathroom window. If it's normal height you will only see clouds when laying in the bath.
But I think 1 is the better layout.

Don't put the vanity infront of the window.

What happens if you take plan 1, turn the shower through 90°, and switch the bath and vanity. Does that fit?

Strongly
Second not having sink (hate hate hate ‘vanity) in front of window - where will your mirror land might be plus constant water toothpaste splashes in window. Layout one is very
Much the best though with the bath to the left creating a circle of space rather than narrow strip.

If I have read things right there is another bathroom which has a shower. Why why why are you shoehorning another shower here? Only when guests staying and making. Use of shower would you be without a shower.

If it were me I would ditch the shower and replace it with the sink. Lovely generous
Spacious bathroom.

You've got room for a rectangular shower cubicle, so have one.
We have a 90 x 90 in one bathroom and a 120 x 80 in the other.
Once you've showered on a 120x80 you'll hate a 90 square shower.
