Help me lay out this awkward bathroom?

last year

last modified: last year

Currently in the planning stages of converting one of our bedrooms into a bathroom so we can have one on the same floor as all the bedrooms. Need help arranging things around the sloped ceiling! It almost feels like the space is both small but too big at the same time, if that makes sense - it's just a little awkward.

Open to having a tub/shower combo, a tub and a shower, or just a shower. While nice to have, a tub is not super important here since we will still have one in the bathroom downstairs.

Other nice-to-have would be a double sink vanity.

Not to scale at all idea for layout.

Ideas to fill the extra, shortest slanted area with shelves. If you can afford built-ins you can do drawers too.

If not you can purchase a short shelving unit.

Perhaps a hamper makes sense for your needs?

Is there a reason you cannot post the actual picture of the space . I have no idea where the waste pipe is so must have missed something . The big issue is the plumbing since ther eis none in a bedroom So where is the waste pipe that will drive mant things to start where the toilet can go . Moving waste pipes in no easy task so I gree talk to your plumber and share that info here to. All thses things dealt with here in comments please DO NOT START another post

The plumbing can be located anywhere. However, it would be the shortest pipe run if the toilet was near the window or the slope.

It looks like you have room for a toilet on the bottom wall next to the window and also have room for a double sink on that wall. ( If you have 12 feet on the bottom wall.)

Then just put the shower on the top wall. You could make the shower 36X60 or larger as desired.

Maybe use the space next to the shower for a low cabinet with drawers .

Maybe window sill is too low for this approach.

A render only goes so far in supplying the info needed to give advice.

As is repeatedly requested on this site, a to scale drawing showing feet and inches, height of walls (in your case) and locations of plumbing etc, will get you far better advice.

I’m confused at this comment when I clearly have a scale drawing (with ceiling heights, even!) posted along with the render. No plumbing yet exists because this is currently a bedroom.

By my calculations, if you have a ceiling at 7' 6" that slants downward to 48 " on the side, I think the ceiling height in the toilet space would be around 6 feet or less if you do a 5 foot shower length.

I'd rather have the toilet next to the window. Putting the toilet across from the vanity in the slanted space also decreases the space in front of the vanity if you bring the toilet forward to avoid hitting your head on the sloped ceiling.

Moving the entry door to the middle would give you a really nice vanity length.
