Bathroom types
Planning a master bathroom suite
What decides the layout
- 1
Separating the shower and bath zones lets two people use the room at once without a glass panel dripping on to a towel rail.
- 2
A double vanity needs roughly 1.6m of run to avoid two people elbowing; below that a single wide basin with two tap positions is more comfortable.
- 3
Lighting should split into task, ambient and low-level circuits so the room works at 7am and at 11pm without a single bright ceiling light.

Your questions answered
Is a freestanding bath practical?
Yes if there is space to clean around it and the floor can take the filled weight. Floor-standing taps must be planned at first fix.
Should the WC be separate?
In a large suite, a partition or a half-height wall gives privacy without needing a separate door and duct run.
