Ok i don’t think this is too bad. It’s in a room after all… going into this post i expected it out in the open.
Yeah it’s probably got one of those sliding doors that tucks into the wall.
I think it has one of those door doors just put of shot. When house buying I.saw a few that had converted the lean-to into a toilet and the upstairs toilet into another room. Some had this configuration with a door to it from the kitchen. One had you going outside to use it and, considering it had the only bath and shower in the house, that’d have made for an invigorating stroll during Winter.
It wouldn’t slide to the left (in the picture) because there are electrical outlets and lightswitcbes in that wall. It might slide to the right, or there might well be a regular door just out of sight on the right.
That’s just a half bath with the door open. This is a normal thing. Unless you grew up rich I guess?
*Toilet in the bathroom next to the kitchen
That’s a cope
This is common in old houses. I don’t know if that’s the case here. Houses built before indoor plumbing would be upgraded, the kitchen would get water, and a new bathroom would be built next to the kitchen where the new plumbing was. There would be no water or other bathroom in the entire house.
My grandparent’s house was built like this, they still had the old water hand pump in the front yard, and they had an outhouse until the plumbing was upgraded.
I grew up in a house with a bathroom right off the kitchen. It wasn’t a big deal.
Berlin in the 80s had shower cabinets in the kitchen and not walled off. Because the old apartment buildings didn’t have any bathrooms, toilets were shared between all apartments of a single floor. So when it these shower cabinets became available people put them into their kitchen.
I’ve seen that in older apartments in Zürich too. But not too sad that this isn’t a thing anymore…
Must be nice to have such a big kitchen that you can fit a shower in it.
If you don’t have to fit a bathroom in the apartment, you get extra space! I have also seen some converted pantries and it’s tiny.
Half the flats in London have the only bathroom off the kitchen and I hate it.
My experience with toilets in the UK is basically crap, crappier, crappiest. Either dirty, malfunctioning, in a very odd location (once stayed in a place where you couldn’t close the door if you sat normally on the seat, so you had to shit sideways), or any combination thereof.
In people’s homes or hotels? What an odd experience, wonder where you’ve had to stay! Public loos can be crap for sure.
A lot of houses in the UK are old enough to have had an outhouse, and bringing the toilet back into the house means it’s in an odd place, or the bathroom ends up more cramped than is ideal.
I mean not ideal but I’ve seen worse
I have a half bathroom about this far from the kitchen in my house. What’s wrong with this?
If it’s fine for you, it’s fine for you 🤷🏼♀️ don’t let me bring you down
In houses I’ve been in before with similarly places bathrooms, this halfbath is generally for guests, peeing, and basic washing of hands etc. If you’re going to blow it up, that’s for other places.
You want everyone washing their dirty hands in the kitchen sink?
I obviously don’t - this “half bath” does not have a sink. That’s one of the things that makes it disgusting, in fact
It might have a sink to the left of the door, hidden by that wall. If not, touché.
Tbh that’s probably the confusion with this post, shoulda added the context, but yeah the rest of the photos showed it’s just a toilet, no sink or mirror.
Your aren’t, it’s all good. I’m just wondering what problems someone could have with this setup. Nothing comes to mind other than not liking small bathrooms.
You ever try lugging a toilet up a flight of stairs?
My buddy has a flat with a toipet with direct view on the stove. Only separated by a sliding door.
Never was cooking and sittin on the toilet scrolling lemmy easier.
“can someone pass me a paper towel…or a tortilla?”
