Designing an En-suite Bathroom
It would be fair to say that the majority of people fitting en-suite bathrooms have not got much room to play with. Most semi-detached homes will have limited space for an en-suite and you may be surprised how much space even the smallest of layouts can actually use.
The most important factor when designing your en-suite bathroom is economy of size. Fortunately there are many bathroom sinks, toilets and shower cubicles on the market that will make designing the layout of your en-suite a lot easier.
For your shower cubicle, a curved fronted shower tray and sliding door will be the best option. These convenient and space-friendly bathroom instalments will free up the extra area taken up by swinging-door cubicles and also add a nice curved design to your shower. Naturally, the shower tray would fit into the corner, against both walls. There is a wide range of bathroom sinks that can also be fitted into a corner of the room, but you will find that the majority of options available will be quite small.
However, as much as you think you may have free reign over the layout of your en-suite bathroom, where the pipe work is located will be the main deciding factor over where each unit is placed. Toilets should be put on an external wall, or as close to the main waste system as possible, while shower cubicles and bathroom sinks will be slightly easier to place, especially if you are confined to a small area.
As long as you have enough room to have an en suite, then having one will add good value to your house
