Your Ensuite Dimensions

[fionas]

I need to do something with our bathroom/laundry for various reasons.

I've currently got a low-hanging vanity which was fine for two people but not great for two people, a teenager and a toddler.

We currently have a small laundry in the bathroom too. The smallness doesn't worry me but the fact that the washing machine is on the floor bothers me immensely as I've got a dodgy back and it's quite tricky to take the washing out. So I need to put them side by side so I'm not bending and lifting washing to take them from the washing machine to the dryer.

So ... I have to do some stuff in there anyway.

What I'm trying to work out is, if I'm going to fiddle fart around getting a new vanity and change the laundry configuration whether I should go all out and try and create an ensuite too. So have a smaller family bathroom and an ensuite for DP and I.

So looking for dimensions of other people's ensuites and whether you find them workable or not.

Our current bathroom is 3.1m x 3.8m so that will only give us a small ensuite but I think it's doable (just).

At our old house we had an ensuite roughly the size of a wardrobe. It had a shower at one end and toilet at the other with a tiny vanity in the middle. It was great. The ensuite in my house now is the size of a bedroom which I find way too big and a complete waste of space.

Sure! Mine is 0x0x0....

Mine's the same as Tinkerbell's old one. Shower at one end, loo at the other, vanity in between. Probably 1.5x3m? Just room between the vanity & shower for a small washing basket.

Just asked DP who is a tiler and does heaps of bathrooms, he says 1 x 2.5 would be plenty for a usable ensuite. 1 x 900 for the shower at one end sliding door in middle (900) then toilet at the other end with a vanity opp the sliding door. The vanity would be 600 or so. that would be plenty functional and could even be slightly smaller. Gotta have a sliding door tho....

Ours is about 4 x 1.8 (roughly). Ours is the same as the others, shower in one corner, vanity along the length of the room, and toilet at the other end. It works great for DH & I.

Just measured mine for you!! It's 1.72 x 2.36 metres.
This is plenty big enough for DH & I, we don't get in each others way at all. It has a 900ml shower, plus a toilet & large vanity across the width.

This exactly what we've got, but maybe the room is a little closer to metres long. Works fine, you don't have room for two people to be in there at the one time, but it's enough space for one to do what you need to do.
