Anything I'm missing with my proposed bathroom design?

It'll probably have to change anyway with the units going wall-to-wall, but that loo roll holder will be very hard to reach for a person seated on the loo. I'd move it to the side wall, under the window. A very minor detail, of course.

If you can fit a tall unit then I find mine excellent. I bought those plastic storage baskets to put on each shelf so I can take them out to retrieve things, much easier than rummaging through a shelf. I'll check the dimensions later.

Don't rely on a towel rail to heat the room

Is swapping the door opening an option? A bathroom designer recommended that the door does not open to the toilet - something to do with feng shui, maybe!

I had the same advice from a bathroom designer. Nothing to do with Chop Suey. If the door was hinged on the other side it would provide a little more privacy when someone opens the door while you're on the throne.

Fortunately I got a thumblock when we got the doors changed.

Imagine sitting on that toilet and then reaching round behind you to get the toilet paper.

Sorry, somehow missed that someone else already said that.

As with doozergirl, I’d avoid the p bath as it’s just a lot more water to fill the bath for very little gain shower wise. That’s from experience of having one, and now having a lot smaller bath with shower over the top.

Consider a low baths which is easier to get in and out.

Consider a bidet toilet seat which save a bit of toilet roll...

Looks great! I'm another who would avoid the P bath, which is coming from someone who insisted on it in a previous house a few years back, thinking it'd be brilliant, and was quite disappointed with it in the end (as said above, it's a faff/a lot of water for little gain and is a pain if you have any issues with the shower screen). We've just had a new bathroom fitted with a decent Carron bath (with shower over) as per Doozergirl's link and find it better for both the showers and the baths!

Also agree with considering a tall thin unit to maximise any spare space - we found we could squeeze one in the corner, and it looks really nice and is handy for the extra storage.

I'm measuring things out now and the justification for the L-Shaped bath is it's so much wider at the top which makes it much easier for me as a wide shouldered person. I've only come across one bath that's 1,600 x 800. As I always will shower and never bathe, having a slimmer bath isn't an issue for me. Also gives me a bit of extra space to separate the radiator from the toilet which will be quiet close.
