Small eaves bathroom in converted loft.

[R-evans]

We've found a company and had the plans drawn up for our loft conversion which should be getting started mid March. Semi-detached bungalow and will be adding 3 beds and 1 bath upstairs.

The bathroom is roughly 2735 x 2000 with the slope of the roof running along the 2735, but we could add a bit more if needed and take it out of a bedroom.

Question is, how much have people with a similar sized room fit in? Interested to see any photos.

We are torn between adding space from the bedroom to include a bath as well as the walk in shower, or make it a shower in bath and use the space in the bedroom for a small shower room.

Easy question to answer do you prefer baths or showers.
My wife and girls prefer baths so all our bathrooms have baths in them.

Thanks, wasn't really my question though. I'm more looking for what other people have fit in this sort of space.

We prefer showers but a bath is nice to have for the kids.

My sole bathroom is about 2m x 2m I went for an L Shaped bath with shower at the big end, sink next to it and toilet next to that.

Basically walk in, toilet directly ahead on back wall with bath on the left taking up the length of the wall on that side and sink between.

A couple of things will really impact your layout. One is where the door is along the wall, the other is where windows are.

My bathroom is about 1.8 x 2.7 metres but we have wall to wall windows along the 1.8m edge. The door is also on the opposite 1.8m side so, we can't make a layout work with separate shower and bath. If the door were in the other edge it'd work. I've seen people on here with the same size rooms fit more in.

Best thing to do is to draw plans on paper to scale and make some pieces you can slide around, IMO. I've used this method to solve a few problems including "How many cars can I reasonably fit on our drive"

That seems a decent enough size tbf, our en suite is 2000mm x 1430mm and while it's small it doesn't feel too crampt.

It's only got a small shower in it though at 900x900 but still enough space to not feel too bad when you get out.

See the worst pictures in the world of it as it's the only one i ever appear to have taken of it! The roof slopes down over the toilet and sink.

Yeah i misread that as whether you should add space for the bath.

Our smallest bathroom is just over 4m x 2m and we have the walk-in shower across one end then the sink and toilet down the long outside wall with the
door and towel rail opposite them and the bath across the other end.
It feels spacious but i think your 2.7m would remove all the gaps between the fittings and would be to crowded but i agree with LuckyBenski about the
layout of your room with regard to doors and windows.

I would personally add room to the bathroom over adding a separate shower room.
