Hello everyone,

As with the window planning in the floor plan forum, we are now working on fine-tuning the family bathroom on the upper floor. It would be great to get some suggestions or improvement ideas here. Thanks in advance!

Framework conditions:
We are a family (33/35) with one child (1 year old). There is a guest toilet with a shower on the ground floor. The window in this bathroom faces north, if that is relevant. The walls are fixed except for the door corner; the window can still be moved freely left or right. No window is possible on the east side.

Current plan:

2D bathroom floor plan with bathtub, toilet, and sink


Ideas/questions:
  • We had originally considered a T-wall to partially "hide" the toilet, but so far have not found a suitable solution.
  • Would it make sense to swap the bathtub and shower to avoid facing the (solid) shower wall immediately when entering the bathroom?
  • Alternatively, would it make sense to build the shower wall only half-height?
  • Does any other layout make sense? Unconventional ideas are welcome.

Thanks so much in advance!!!

The "problem" with the newly built wall is that it blocks access to the bedroom, as shown in the photo below.

Sorry, but this constant cutting up of floor plans is really annoying. And then there’s incorrect information as well. What did you mean by the "not fixed door corner"? Anyway, I guess everything will just stay as it is.

The focus is on the bathroom, so that’s why I only included that section. When I post the full floor plan, I often see that the rest of the floor immediately becomes part of the discussion. But you’re right, I could have made the section with the door a bit larger. Sorry

The door corner is still flexible; it can be moved down by 30cm (12 inches) – just not straight. That’s why I asked how many centimeters (inches) wide the vanity side should be.

@kaho674 Sorry if I caused you extra work, that wasn’t my intention. I really appreciate the help and advice here!

How wide is the bedroom door there, and how many centimeters are planned for the wardrobe? I see it more like the bedroom door moving further upwards on the plan.

Your plan:


Wasn’t a washing machine originally planned in the bathroom as well?

I had planned the bathroom like this:

Then move it as much as you can.

Feel free to share “crazy” ideas as well.
Here’s a tip: base your design on Katja’s second draft with the oval shape.
If you position it diagonally, you gain more room and space for the washbasin. Use a triangular countertop for the washbasin to make the most of the available space and give the room a larger feel.

The bedroom door is 90cm (35 inches), the wardrobe is 60cm (24 inches). You’re right, it does look quite tight behind the door. We will discuss this again, thanks for pointing it out!

Impressive memory! I had at one point included it as an option, but that’s no longer the case. It is now located in the basement.

Thanks for the old floor plan, it’s always a good starting point for new ideas!

Plan approximately 70-75 cm (27.5-29.5 inches) behind the door. A few centimeters (inches) will be lost due to the door frame. A Pax wardrobe with sliding doors, for example, has a depth of 66 cm (26 inches), plus an additional 1 to 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 inches) clearance from the wall. The door also has a handle.
