Bathroom design
The bathroom design now is as shown below :
By adding a hand basin within an alcove (see below) in what was once just a toilet room, we have managed to create a functional and independent guest wc.
alcove before tiling
In so doing, we have freed up much needed space in the main bathroom,
allowing a single run of cabinetry with ample counter space above, and storage space below.
This design also eliminates noxious toilet odours penetrating to the main bedroom, from the bathroom. (In the photo above, the toilet will be removed permanently, allowing the stretch of wall from the doorway on the far left of the photo to the wall where the toilet appears, to be dedicated to counter top and cabinetry : 155 cm long x 50-60 deep).
The creation of a divisory wall at the foot of the bath (see below) has also enclosed the bath / shower space enabling greater privacy in the bathroom if the door to the bedroom is open.
We are relocating the door & door frame that previously led from the passageway to the kitchen and blocked access to the fridge / pantry area, locating it to the outside of the entrance to the wc/toilet room, thereby allowing guests to close this door to the hall / kitchen area , leaving the doors between the main bathroom and toilet open if desired, or vice versa.
