Sloped ceiling bathroom: can it work?

June 2020
A small area can be a challenge. But what if there is no shortage of space, but the room has a slanted ceiling?

Often when converting spaces in former farm buildings, such as stables or grain warehouses into a residential house, it turns out that separating the public space from the private part, only for the hosts, means putting the master bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Sloped ceiling bathroom has a chance to become a unique space, but you have to face the situation.

Sloped ceiling bathroom: measure the usable area

Let's start with a definition: a usable area is one where the distance to the ceiling is 190 cm. Usually this part of the room is used to install washbasins, mirrors and radiators. On the sloping walls, on the other hand, a toilet, bidet or bathtub can be placed. The shower enclosure can be positioned either without an incline or at a sloping ceiling - SanSwiss offers a variety of shower enclosures that can be customised to fit under a sloping ceiling. What's important is that you choose a place that makes leaving the cabin comfortable.

Sloped ceiling bathroom: clever solutions

If only the surface and the interior design allow it, we recommend creating a bathing room open to the master bedroom. Not only does this optically enlarge the space, but it also allows to light it up in a natural way, as well as to use items associated with relaxation, but not typically bathroom furniture - such as chaise longue.
Often in buildings converted in the central part of the room there are massive pillars supporting the ceiling. They cannot be removed, but can be used as an interesting element of the interior. If lighting and ventilation are sufficient, flower pots, especially climbing ones, can be placed near the pole. Another solution is to place hangers around the pole. An interesting solution will also be to stick mirrors around such a pole.

Sloped ceiling bathroom: shower ideas

We encourage you to think outside the box - a shower at a slanting angle is not always a compromise, often it is the unusual shape that can open up new possibilities, for example, a larger shower area or a bench inside, making it easier to use people with mobility impairments.

A shower without a shower tray is a very good option - the whole floor is the same height, nothing storming straight lines and a line drain protects the floor from flooding.
