    Default Stupid box thing in bathroom!

    Looking at moving, Please see my mocked up image of my diagram of what im about to explain

    Anyway, where the sink is it sits in a big cube, the problem is underneath this box is the stairs, stupidly designed yes, and not your average 2 story house, it has 3 levels (through front door, you have a small hallway, where you go down 4 steps to living room and kitchen, or 6 stairs up to the bedrooms and toilet....

    Basically this box is going to be a nightmare, it takes loads of space up, and just looks down right pathetic....

    Whats my options?
    the bathroom needs doing out, and i was thinking of just tiling everything, walls, floor and the cube, relocating the sink so its turned so you wash your hands etc standing with your back to the radiator instead of having one leg on the toilet and one on the floor

    How High is the Box thing from the floor and is that roughly to scale as in its wider than the bath and about half as long?

    If you got a window next to it how can it be the top of the stairs?

    The layout is that, as to how close etc my drawing is crap lol

    the box is about standard height for a bathroom sink of that's of any use?

    my other half has the photos on her phone and she's just out finishing the Xmas shopping so I should be able to get photos!

    id like to remove it but not sure of the top of my head if headroom on the stairs will be affected.....

    I guess if you move it, then you'll have to have a 'wedge shaped box' there still as the stairs come from underneath it. You'll find that inside the box. it will be split diagonally in two as the stair ceiling will come up underneath it.

    If it is high enough then tile it off and make a feature out of it with a glass sink like this

    As Muttley you should be able to plumb everything under the box before hand as it should be split.

    Depending on the direction of the box i would look as some small shelves in the side for storage, couple of toilet rolls few decorative shells blah blah.

    Yeah as Muttley said it prob a split box as the cieling from the stairs will be on the diagonal so they have just made the box to give you a flat area rather than a ramp to nowhere type situation.

    Glass Sinks look loverly mate obviously there are loads of different styles just look for a countertop sink ;-)

    without seeing the room i would change bath to a shower and put basin beside that and build the box up into a cupboard with storage options!

    Glass sinks are great but if you have hard water the lime scale will soon make it look dull, unless you have a water softener.
