The shower is for getting clean. The toilet, especially if you have kids, is not so clean.Tahlullah.H said:
Ok, humour me. What is wrong with a toilet right by a shower. Isn't that the norm in most small bathrooms? Do I need to re-model my house to ensure I move from the 'Eww' position to 'acceptable' position?[Deleted User] said:

It looks like they converted the fireplace in the kitchen into a stove hood, that's a good idea.
Ideally separate rooms, but at least they should be placed a bit further apart. There's space in that bathroom, they probably did it that way to make the plumbing easier.0 -

Not a residential property this time. How on earth do you get to the top bunk (photo 1)? It looks like you either use what looks like mesh, or flat sloping wood.

Looks like they have made it fun for kids. You climb up the cargo net, and you slide down the bit of wood. Scroll through the pictures and there are several others with steps up and a slide down.lea_uk said:Not a residential property this time. How on earth do you get to the top bunk (photo 1)?

Thank you - when I read that comment my first thought was that presumably the poster was someone who'd always been fortunate enough to live in large houses with massive bathrooms! Ours literally only has space for the bath, toilet and washbasin all right next to one another, and it would have been impractical to switch the positions of the toilet and basic when we rebuilt it. Thankfully, I have the ability to maintain a clean toilet so I'm not too concerned by the "eww" factor! No remodelling required here!Tahlullah.H said:

You'd love a large, unmodernised, 1930s house, as they tended to have separate loos and bathrooms. Meanwhile, here in the modern real world.....[Deleted User] said:

Should be out in the back yard, cold, dimly lit and behind a poorly fitting door that is draughty and bangs in the wind. Would that be better?Tahlullah.H said:

Have a wet room and then you can shower the toilet with the shower, nice and clean then.[Deleted User] said:

Seperate toilets without even a wash basin is what makes me go Eww. A toilet and shower together make perfect sense to me, desirable even. If not, just about every hospital ward I have worked on have got it badly wrong.Silvertabby said:
