In the bathroom

Hello,

could someone tell me please whether there is a rule concerning usage of phares like 'In the bathroom' or 'in the bedroom'?

I mean contexts like:

"There is a bath in my bathroom."
"In my bathroom there is a bath."

Is there a difference?

My second question is about prepositions of place. Is there a rule govering their use?

"On the wall, above the basin there is a mirror. "

Is this sentence correct?

When describing one’s facilities, it would be grammatical to use either expression. The phrasing I would use is “My bathroom has both a bath and shower. ” The second sentence is correctly written.

There is a [bathtub / toilet / mirror / ...] in my bathroom is the standard word order.

You can invert the order occasionally for variety in your writing and use In my bathroom there is a .... It's also correct but less often used.
