Need help with tiny bathroom layout

jamminjulia
hace 10 años
I'm in the planning stages for a complete down-to-the-studs remodel of my tiny second floor bathroom. Currently there is only a tiny bit of floor space and the fixtures are very crowded. The first attached image shows a measured diagram of the current layout... it's pretty bad. I'm thinking of replacing the tub with a custom shower to open things up a bit. What is the ideal layout for the fixtures?

The second image is one layout I've been considering... how can I improve upon it?

My main goal with the layout is to make the room feel larger, and provide more space to move around.

Flexibility:
It would be best if the toilet stayed on Wall D... as that is where the plumbing stack is and the joists run from wall A to wall C. The door could be moved to any point on wall A, and the window could be moved to anywhere one wall B or C (but I would prefer to leave it where it is for budget reasons!)

I would really appreciate your input!
Thanks

    Here's what will make your layout terrific - the width of the room at 76" - give the toilet space precisely 34" wide, and use a pony wall to 42" high between toilet space / 4" w / 38" wide with glass above to help the room feel bigger by keeping the width of the room visually. Put the shower head on the door wall - it should have a vent for the current sink / service - also it won't leak - you should have enough distance there to make it 44" wide - when you face the wall your back will be to the toilet / better for sharing and space from left to right is more important for washing. At the door side, put a small return on the wall side of 8", then make the whole face a frameless glass door 30" wide less tile thickness. That will really shield the toilet space, and make for a big feeling shower. Then, run a long vanity all the way to the door - countertop space is the most valuable. You can meet code for clear space in front of toilet this way, but it would not be comfortable to share this bathroom with another person unless you can shift the sink closer to the window/ door - center on the whole space left so it isn't directly across from the toilet. A miror will be required over the sink and is not so ideal across from the water closet.

      Your plan for a large shower looks good to me. And, much more spacious feeling.

      Consider using glass shower enclosure in a smaller bathroom.

      A glass shower enclosure is best and make sure to use a frame-less glass enclosure, this can also be done above the pony wall as 'labradesigneye' suggested. Do not use option one the vanity and the toilet will not work together in that option.

      Utilizing a pocket door in the first layout will allow you to use your space in an efficient way. In both layouts the tub/shower combo could be changed to a 4' glass enclosed shower.

      You're getting some great advice. I like your layout, with the glass shower enclosure or wall as suggested by Dytecture and LDE. I think to maintain some maneuvering space, if you are going with a mud set pan, you should limit yourself at 42" in width, as suggested, for the benefit of your toilet location. It may be possible to make the pan 42" square if you are very careful in your vanity choice, small, possibly a vessel sink. I will post an example of one bath remodel that I designed on a 16" shelf (didn't want to move a door), which offers some storage, and is right in the same size range of what you'll need to make this bath work--(ignore the w/c, that is where your door, in relationship to this vanity would go) This shelf could be 21/15 also--better than 12" at high part. I feel your plumbing stack may take a bit more room out of the back wall than you anticipate. Wall stacks are not easy to move, so unless it is completely opened up and you can see exactly what you are dealing with, all of our assumpltions may require some adjustment. Otherwise, I believe your instincts appear to be going in the right direction. Put a 30" wide (or 27") linen cabt. mounted at +54" min above the toilet tank--you need some place to put extra towels. Happy Houzzing.

      Thanks everyone for your input. The shower shown in my plan was definitely going to have frameless glass most likely w/ pony wall on the WC side.

      I know for a fact that the stack is on the existing sink wall, approximately in-line with the toilet. But its an old house so who knows what surprises I'll find once we get into the walls!
