Bathroom Layouts: How to Get the Most from Your Bathroom Size

Here are some tips for making the most out of your space. No matter if you are just starting to renovate or you have years of experience, you will likely know just how important it can be to plan your bathroom layout.

It is essential that everything works well together and matches the dimensions of your bathroom. This will ensure that you have a functional space that is both stylish and functional. Here are 5 common bathroom sizes that you might consider. We also have tips for designing your dream master bathroom.

Downstairs Toilets

Toilet

Downstairs toilets tend to be the smallest size of all bathrooms. These toilets are usually the most overlooked when renovating a bathroom. But they are more important than you might think. They're not only the only bathroom on ground floor; they are also the most likely to be used. If you want to make a good first impression, it is important that your bathroom is both practical and beautiful.

The UK's minimum toilet room size is 70cmx130cm. Although it's possible to make this work, especially if all you need is a bowl and a toilet, we recommend that your bathroom layout has room for at most an 80cmx140cm downstairs toilet. It may not seem like much but this will help make your toilet more accessible, especially for taller users.

Compact Ensuite Bathrooms

Depending on the layout of your bathroom, bathroom dimensions can vary greatly. It is possible to create an ensuite that has a smaller footprint than the minimum toilet size if you want to enjoy the luxury of an ensuite. But, it is important to select the right fixtures and fittings.

If you want to get the most out of your tiny ensuite, it is a good idea not to plan on adding a tub. You will want to maximize the space available to create the illusion that the room is larger than it actually is.

Countertop Basin 

The minimum size of an ensuite bathroom should be 1m x2m. It should be large enough to accommodate a toilet, basin, or shower enclosure. However, it is important that you choose options that aren’t too heavy.

Bathrooms with small dimensions

You have many options if you want to make your bathroom smaller.

A small bathroom suite is a good choice to create a cohesive space. At an attractive price, there are impressive packages available (such as this Cove package) that include a bathtub, a toilet and basin.

There are tons compact baths, some as small as 1200 x 700 mm. For taller users, these might not work. Consider a shower enclosure in this instance. It's not a wise choice to sacrifice convenience or comfort.

Family Bathrooms

Good family bathrooms layouts should make the most of every inch of space available, and avoid becoming cramped. You should consider the ease of use and choose products that are appropriate for your entire family.

Heated Towel Rail Radiator

It's important to have separate areas for toiletries and towels in family bathrooms. To keep children from getting into potentially hazardous items, you might also want to add a stylish heated towel radiator or a wall-hung cabinet for your bathroom.

Master Bathrooms

Your master bathroom can be the crowning glory in your home. We recommend creating a sanctuary where you can relax and unwind after a long day.
