Our ID had some good input by proposing the following:
1. Shared shower-sink concept.
This concept starts with the removal of the traditional shower glass partition which isolates the space used for sink and shower. Instead the sink-user and shower-user share the same standing spot. The saved space goes on to allow for a large vanity top. To prevent the vanity top from getting wet during shower, a shower curtain is installed.

2. Vanity top with sink
The vanity top gives a the sink area a spacious table top and hotel feel (a cheaper version that is). This is in comparison to a tiny sink, usually typical of HDB toilets.
3. Full wall mounted storage cabinet
The wall mounted cabinet provides enough storage to keep the toilet clutter free. ID guy also suggested that the cabinet doors can double up as a mirror. these helps to make the toilet feel more spacious.

4. White colour was chosen for the wall and floor tile to make the toilet brighter and feel more spacious
5. Installed a cove light under the cabinet for a "hotel feel" (cheapo method)
6. Classy looking toilet bowl:
We chose the Baron Toilet bowl for its classy look (look-a-like TOTO, but at a fraction of the cost), water saving features and position of down-pipe (aka "size" in the dimension below). will do another write up about the toilet bowl "size" as I have learnt a lot the hard way and wanted to save you from the hassle.
As a feedback to all, after several weeks of use, we found that the original toilet seats does not provide comfort for long sitting, probably due to the curved profile. But we decided against changing the seat as it was too much trouble.

7. Other toilet accessories
Purchased most of our toilet accessories from Heritage in Geylang. We were very impressed by Irene's service and knowledge. The other thing we liked was that they offered a best price straight away. No bargaining was entertained. when we compared against other shops, we can only get the same price after a long bargaining session.

I think the new reposition for the toilet was a good one, very smart move. Your bathroom looks like it holds so much more vanity now.

No worries. Hope that helped and good luck with your renovation.
DeleteHave you considered exchanging the toilet bowl position with the shower area so that you can have non slippery floor?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteYes we have considered that.
However, our plumber advised against shifting the location of the toilet bowl discharge outlet, ie keep the toilet bowl in the same position. In fact he mentioned that he won't do it! I do not recall probing further as the risk of a choked sewerage pipe was not appealing to me.
For most HDBs, the sewerage discharge point is in the floor. If you do not stay in the top floor, you can see in the ceiling of our toilet, the discharge point of your above neighbour's sewerage downpipe.
In some private residential developments, I was told that the discharge was into the wall. I'm too sure how that worked though.
Many forum people in the MHT and RenoTalk have done it and so I think it is achievable.
DeleteYou really gave me some ideas and thoughts to consider in improving my bathroom. thanks.
