ᐅ Bathroom Planning – How to Make the Most of the Space for Sinks and Cabinets

We are currently in the middle of the final design phase and have not yet agreed on the main bathroom on the upper floor.
Attached are part of the floor plan and the current layout as well as an alternative draft.
We want two sinks or a double sink (this will be finalized during material selection), a bathtub, a toilet, a towel radiator, and a walk-in shower. We would prefer the shower to be built with masonry and without a door. However, if space does not allow, we would consider other options.
Our issue with the two drafts is that there is very little space left for additional cabinets or shelves. Unfortunately, we are unsure how to solve this. We are also uncertain whether the sinks positioned on this wall are practical and if noise will be a problem in the bedroom when they are in use. Although the plumbing will be installed within stud walls, we remain skeptical. We are considering swapping the sinks and the bathtub, but this does not seem to provide any additional space either.
Do you have any suggestions for improvements or perhaps completely new ideas?

@Alex85, did you mean something like this? Unfortunately, there isn’t enough space left for the second sink.
Yes, that’s what I meant. You often see layouts like this nowadays.
It would definitely need some refinement in the design though. The wall at the bottom of the plan is still a bit inconvenient.
Just one possible option.
A double vanity should fit there.
ypg, what’s your idea?

I would place the shower at the bottom right of the plan and the toilet at the top left. Cabinets with a mirrored medicine cabinet should be sufficient for toiletries. Towels can be stacked on a shelf near the ceiling, for example on the left wall above the door, spanning from wall to wall.
A cabinet can also be installed above the toilet. IKEA offers some nice shallow options to choose from.
