Hello,
I am currently working on the floor plan for my apartment, which is part of a larger construction project with centralized planning. I have only limited options to make changes to the layout.
The bathroom is quite small (220 x 180cm (87 x 71 inches)). How large should a shower be to allow comfortable use without bumping into anything?
At the moment, I shower standing in a bathtub that is 180cm (71 inches) long and open at the front. It’s difficult for me to compare or measure.
What is a practical and comfortable size for a shower?

Washbasin of 140cm (55 inches) is too large, alternatively 120cm (47 inches) Am I remembering incorrectly that this is for a single apartment?
I would plan for only one washbasin. What needs to fit next to it: hair care products, hair dye. Makeup has its own storage. Should guest towels be placed next to it? – to me, even 120cm (47 inches) seems quite wide, just as a beauty workstation.

My washbasin is 100 cm wide (40 inches), with an Ikea Godmorgon vanity unit underneath. The electric toothbrush and other items are all stored in the drawer, as I had a power outlet installed there at the last minute. This way, nothing is left out on my washbasin. I also find 140 cm (55 inches) to be excessive.

For me (with occasional weekend overnight guests) and of course it should also be sellable later as "for couples" or a young couple with a small child." That’s why I don’t find having space for drying off in the bathroom unnecessary.
Kerstin, I read your bathroom thread! You are a space genius, I think you got the maximum use out of it. I like the shower solution. I briefly experimented with a rounded quarter-circle shower as an alternative. But I didn’t like it as much, even though it does save a little more space than a square one.
In my original plan, I found that the lower wall can be pushed about 10cm (4 inches) further down. Then I would have 190cm (75 inches) instead of 180cm (71 inches). Depending on the layout of the fixtures, that could be an advantage.
The sink doesn’t need to be very big for me, but I do need at least 60cm (24 inches) of space overall so I don’t splash water on the floor when washing under my arms.
There doesn’t need to be much kept within easy reach at the sink itself. Soap, and of course the toothbrush and a towel for drying. Just the things used daily. It would be practical if makeup and a mirror were also there.
Since I bought the apartment through a project planner, I already have fixed budgets for the kitchen and bathroom. More is always possible, but I’m trying to stick to the bathroom budget. That’s why I’m first trying to plan within the dimensions set by the budget (a furniture series with sink vanity sizes of 60, 90, or 120cm (24, 35, or 47 inches)). The sink itself is always 50cm (20 inches) wide and (unfortunately) always centrally integrated. Grmmpf. A side-integrated sink like Kerstin’s is much more practical.
The window can still be shifted. I haven’t drawn that separately in the rough plans.
I’m adding a few more variants. In the drawings, the grey hatched lower wall is the original wall, the beam directly below is the alternative shifted by 10cm (4 inches).
Original plan:
Variant 1:
Large shower, large vanity; about 80cm (31 inches) of space for changing next to the lower wall. Shower entry from the lower side.

This would be the luxury version: a large shower, L-shaped countertop at the washbasins, and otherwise quite a lot of space.
