Combining bathroom and dressing room

5 replies

My ensuite is huge it has a bath and separate shower at one end, a separate jacuzzi bath at the other. In the middle is the sink, toilet and bidet. Initially we were going to split it into two rooms one being a separate dressing room that you walk through before the bathroom. But I'm beginning to have second thoughts as having to open two doors for the bathroom would be annoying and more expensive. Instead i'm wondering about getting rid of the jacuzzi bath which is horrible and so far never used. Instead I could use the space for an additional wardrobe and probably a chair etc so I could keep clothes on it and get dressed entirely in the bathroom. Is there an issue with this in terms of potential damp etc? The bathroom as it is tiled floor to ceiling and I think this makes it colder.

I would split the room but keep the dressing room end open to the bedroom and then have a single door between the dressing room and the bathroom.

I wouldn’t combine because as you say damp and condensation will be difficult to manage. Extraction for a large room will be more costly and noisier.

Could you fit a pocket door for the dressing room so that it could be open most of the time but the bathroom door closed?

Beware of mouldy clothes

My parents had that and always complained the clothes were damp.

We have this and it works really well - no problems with damp clothes. This is the second house we have added this. The door from the bedroom leads into the dressing room and then we have a basin, toilet and shower at the far end. The dressing room has open shelves and hanging space. I really like it - keeps all the clothes storage out of the bedroom and makes more sense to have the clothes etc by the shower than in the bedroom
