Best Floor Plans for Small Bathrooms in Melbourne (2025 Guide)
Tight on space?
No problem.
A clever floor plan can make even the tiniest bathroom feel open, luxe, and functional.
Here are the top layout ideas we use in Melbourne homes to squeeze the most out of small footprints — without it feeling cramped.
1. The Classic Wall-to-Wall Layout
Best for: Long, narrow bathrooms
Everything runs along one wall:
Vanity
Toilet
Shower (or bath)
This keeps plumbing simple and costs down, while giving you clear sightlines that make the room feel longer.
2. Corner Shower, Floating Vanity
Best for: Square-shaped spaces
Tucking the shower into a corner and using a floating vanity creates visual floor space, perfect for tiny rooms.
Pair it with large tiles and a full-width mirror? Chef’s kiss.
3. Wet Room Layout
Best for: Ultra-small or ensuite bathrooms
Skip the shower screen entirely.
Create a waterproofed, open shower zone at one end with:
Wall-hung toilet
Compact vanity
This European-style layout is gaining serious traction in Melbourne right now.
4. The Reversed Door Swing Trick
Sometimes, the biggest fix is… the door.
Switching from an inward swing to an outward swing — or better yet, a pocket door — instantly frees up wall space for vanities or storage.
5. Split Layout with Niche Storage
Best for: Busy households or shared spaces
Use a central dividing wall to split wet and dry zones:
One side: vanity and mirror
Other side: shower and toilet
Add recessed niches to avoid bulky shelves and create a clean, high-end look.
