Bit of a rant but why do home designers always put the toilet right next to the shower??? Honestly a waste of space. Firstly who wants to wash themselves while looking at a toilet and who is going to use the toilet right next to a shower? The solution if space is an issue is to put a internal dividing wall blocking the view of the toilet. Makes a massive difference. Donno just a thought.
Ensuite Bathrooms Designs???

Who stands in the shower and thinks 'I wish I didn't have to look at that toilet'?
You haven't seen jdawg7's toilet…
We have the toilet next to the shower in ours. No issue for us. It’s a ensuite. Not for anyone else to use.
With the tap arrangement the shower user generally seems to face away from the dunny. In any case I consider myself so beautiful that I think my partner privileged if she gets to watch me push last nights leftovers out……Mind set is everything.
BTW. Try un-seeing the penultimate statement….😎
Any pics? Video would be better.
You're letting the team down. I'd expect a quick MS Paint diagram to display your interpretation of the situation.
I'll provide the paint diagram after I see the video. I'm not that creative!
@MS Paint: Having trouble, dashcam is hardwired into the Camry. Camry too big to get into bathroom as toilet is in the way.
More than happy to provide, video with sound is best as I include a short Trump-et herald before the main act. My wife is often impressed - adding comments like ‘unbelievable’ and ‘are you some effing alien?’. Sadly I’m pretty sure the site rules will be interpreted in a way to work against my art……
I have actually encountered two bathrooms recently with a dividing wall between the toilet and the shower. Both were old bathrooms from about the 1960s. They made the bathroom seem very small. In both cases the owner told me that they were planning on removing the dividing wall when they renovated.
I don't like toilets next to showers either though.
I recently renovated an old apartment bathroom and ripped out that dividing wall for exactly that reason, it was so effing constricting, you had to close the bathroom door before you could even open the shower curtain. The bathroom feels 10x larger now with diamond-shape glass shower
- depends on the shape of the room
- depends where the door is to the room, may be affected by the design of other spaces,
- depends where external windows may be (if any)
- depends on the plumbing locations of other services
- depends on the over design aesthetics (light weight materials vs heavy materials)
- depends on design cohesion as a whole of a house or apartment not just individualised or compartmentalised spaces.
not saying designers know it all, but good designers take into account many things.
much more than "why cant they just put a wall there"
In the morning, I take a dump and go from there to the shower (yes, I do wipe my butt first!) - saves me from having to put my pants back on again haha
Can probably almost see the skids on the bowl while shampooing hair with the way they cramp some bathrooms nowadays.
I usually clean it straight away with the toilet brush so there are no skid marks to be seen haha
Usually ;)
You can close the lid on the toilet too.

If the public restroom vibe suits you then go for it.
i think in the context of what you are trying to say… you need a diagram of the bathroom and adjoining rooms.
Toilets don't look bad… it's a normal thing to see in a bathroom, not sure what the issue is.
Perhaps OP would prefer a squatting arrangement, so they wouldnt have to look at the toilet fixture.
In luxury apartments, say a 2 or 3 bedder with master ensuite it is a common trend to provide a WC and shower within their own separated 'cubicles' and then perhaps a bath and large vanity within the entry space. Within a house you could do the same.
You need quite a bit more space for this configuration to feel comfortable, say 2.5m (min) x 3.5m
Solutions:
1) keep your toilet clean
2) don't use the ensuite toilet while your partner is in the shower.There, all complaints are gone.
Who looks at the toilet while they shower?
If you need to take a dump then it is a short hop rather than getting water on the floor and potentially slipping a cracking your head.
Assume your hand basin is closest to the door it also means you go to toilet, wash hands and leave, not having to shuffle back and forth.
who wants to wash themselves while looking at a toilet
Try closing the lid.
In an ensuite a dividing wall makes it look cramped and small. If it bothers you then make the glass end of the shower opaque.
fair
I'm waiting for someone to design an all in one toilet and shower.
Shower with an s-bend
There's a hotel in melbourne with this "feature". I stayed there once.
if you press the wrong button you have a shower instead of flushing. So much fun.
Stomp it down and you're already there.
Maximise time efficiency and water usage, shower whilst on toilet.
I didn't know you could only stand facing one way in the shower.
ITT: people defending $1/2mil+ houses with tiny cramped ensuites that don't even have space for a 1.5m high 15cm little partition wall.
And this is why AU property prices will continue to grow, because everyone is okay with very expensive sub-par.
Crap bathroom design trending for many years now. Everyone loves a toilet cramped next to a shower apparently
I find it completely disgusting.
I would warn against a shower next to the entry door. Esp those frameless showers which leave a puddle outside the shower. Great for wet socks.
All those people above acting like I'm weird for not wanting the toilet next to the shower. What a time we live in
it's great place to have a toilet….
but the lid down and you have a seat to watch your partner shower..
mate I've been to open house where the ensuite had no door, like the two rooms are connected. don't worry about the shower looking at the dunny
I could see u chuck a crap from the bed lol
If you don’t like using the toilet while someone is in the shower or vice-versa just don’t do it. It’s an en-suite, there will be another bathroom in the house.
If you want to not see the toilet make it in a completely separate room. A wall of any sort to divide the shower from the loo just makes the room feel smaller.
Can’t believe this is even a topic, let alone some of the barking comments
Actually jdawg7 has a point. I much prefer the old style dunny that was usually in the "smallest room in the house".
And, yeah, many times I've been lying in the bath and wished I wasn't looking at a loo.
Cost cutting is usually what causes bathroom to have a loo in them. Less floor space required.Found your next investment property OP

Hahaha ridiculous
Because most people don't want an internal dividing wall within the bathroom. You can custom build your own layout I suppose.
