Here some layout hints that should get you thinking:

◇ First impressions are important so keep the toilet out of direct line of sight of the doorway

◇ Small spaces require different solutions - think wall-hung and in-wall cisterns when it comes to vanities and toilets

◇ Weigh up whether you need to move your fixtures - this adds additional expense when perhaps the fittings just need refreshing

◇ Showers and heated towel rails are like cheerio’s and tomato sauce, they just belong together

◇ Create practical storage with a recessed mirror cabinet and declutter your vanity

◇ For maximum ventilation and extraction extractor fans need to be near your shower

◇ Think about a general floor waste - a great all-purpose safety measure for overflowing water
