For bath tubs you should ideally leave an area of 70cm by 110 cm next to the bath where you plan to get in and out. If your bathroom is going to have a toilet you will need to plan to have a space of 80cm by 60cm in front.
Although you need to leave area next to most of your bathroom features for convenient use there is generally no reason why these areas can not cross over. There are also a range of other points that need to be considered including the space needed for your door to open, where your current plumbing is and the locations of vents and windows.
Things to remember:
|
Plan a space next to each aspect of your bathroom |
|
Find out where your current plumbing is behind the walls |
|
Ensure there is enough room for doors to swing open. |
|
Bear in mind the location of your windows and vents |
