Hope you all are well?

I wonder if you could give me some advice. We are hoping to change the layout of our bathroom and install new bathroom suite. We are going to change the layout of the bathroom which involves moving the door from the left to the right.

Can anyone spot any problems with the new layout?

Thanks.

We used to have a sink in front of the window. And yes, it wasn't ideal, but it was the best way to get things fitted in. We had an extending mirror like this, and that worked perfectly fine.
My friend has a layout very similar to yours, and she just has a free-standing mirror on the windowsill.

If having the sink against a wall is a priority, could you move the toilet to be under the window and then turn the sink to be on the wall opposite the bath? It wouldn't be my choice of layout though, because it would give you dead space in the corner (it wouldn't be able to be right up at the external wall as you wouldn't have space to stand in front of it).

Oh dear, the suggested layout was my idea, and doesn’t seem to have gone down too well! 😅

A problem we’ve not mentioned - with the window in front of the sink, we’re really struggling without a mirror - it’s driving us a bit nuts. Also, the hallway isn’t currently decorated, so moving the door is atm quite easy for us.

If we move the sink and toilet further along to the outside wall, and move the tall unit to by the door, is the layout still really that bad? 😕

We have pretty much your original layout, though the door is closer to the bath and we have a tall cupboard on the left as you go in. We have a mirror on the windowsill in front of the sink, and a huge wall mirror on the wall on the left, opposite the bath.

If you're going to the expense (and mess) of moving a door, could you consider a sliding pocket door instead? Frees up loads of space, you may need to build a stud wall to conceal it depending on your existing wall. We've done this for all our tight spaces and it's worked really well

This, saves so much space
