Bathroom layouts: Make the Most of Your Bathroom Size

We have taken a look at the most common types of bathrooms to help you maximize your space. It doesn't matter if your bathroom is brand new or you've been renovating for years, you already know how important it's to design the right layout.

You can achieve a stylish, functional bathroom by making sure everything fits well and highlights the strengths of the space. To help you make the best decisions, we have listed 5 most popular bathroom sizes.

Downstairs Toilets

Toilet

Downstairs toilets are often the smallest among all bathrooms sizes. It is often this bathroom that people neglect when renovating. You might not realize how important they are. They are the only bathrooms on the ground level and the ones most likely to get used by guests. You want your guests to feel comfortable and happy in your bathroom.

The UK has a minimum toilet room size of 70cm x 130cm. Even though it is possible for this to work (especially if your only needs are a sink and toilet), we recommend that you have at least 80cm x 140cm of space in your bathroom layout. Even though it might not seem like much, this extra 10 cm will make your toilet space feel bigger, especially for taller individuals.

Compact Ensuite Bathrooms

Depending on the bathroom layout, ensuite bathrooms can vary in size. You may be hesitant about having an ensuite because of the size. However, it is possible to design them with a minimal footprint. Some options are almost as discreet as the minimum sizes. It is however important that you choose your fixtures and fittings carefully.

For the best use of your space, you should abandon any plans to add a bath tub. You want to make the space appear larger than it is.

Shower enclosure

A minimum of 1m x 2m is the recommended size for an ensuite bathroom. This size should be sufficient to fit a toilet and basin as well as a shower enclosure. Make sure you don't choose too many options.

Small bathrooms

Even if the bathroom layout plans include a small bathroom, you still have options that can accommodate its limitations without sacrificing any of its functions.

It is recommended that you choose a small bathroom suite in order to easily create a coherent space. There are many attractive options available, including this Cove package that includes a bathroom, toilet, and basin.

You can find tons of compact baths starting at just 1200mmx700mm. These might not be suitable for taller persons. You can opt for a shower enclosure in such cases. It's not wise to compromise comfort and convenience.

Family Bathrooms

A family bathroom layout that maximizes space should not be cramped. Be mindful of ease of use in all your decisions. Choose products that are at an appropriate height for you and your family.

Heated Towel Rail Radiator

It is essential to make use of the bathroom space to store towels and toiletries. You can also add a striking heated towel radiator and a wall-hung bathroom cupboard to protect your floors and keep potentially hazardous items out reach of children.

Master Bathrooms

The master bathroom is the most important room in your home. It is a place where you can unwind and recharge after a hard day. We suggest that you plan the space with comfort in mind.
