Hello everyone,
to keep it short: What do you think about having a bathtub (with whirlpool function) in the bedroom?
Since we are renovating and have to work around the load-bearing walls, the bathroom can’t be large enough to comfortably fit a shower, bathtub, toilet, and double vanity. Because the adjacent master bedroom is very spacious, I have been considering placing the bathtub there.
The advantage is more space in the bathroom. Some questions I have are: Do I still need the rest of the bathroom if I take baths? How will it look visually? Will the humidity cause any problems?
Looking forward to your opinions!

And I always thought we were the only crazy ones.
However, we installed a shower in the bedroom. I don’t see any problems with that, and just because your parents have a bathtub in their bedroom, it doesn’t mean the kids can claim unlimited access to it. They can shower or go to the swimming pool.
By the same logic, you could argue against almost anything parents treat themselves to (What if the 17-year-old wants to seduce a one-night stand in the waterbed? What if the teenage daughter wants to drive the second car? What if the kids want to watch their Disney movies on the 75" TV?) Sometimes the arguments here are really far-fetched, sorry.

Regarding the appearance, I would probably invest in at least a freestanding model. So, you should have enough space for that. Moisture is no more of an issue than in a bathroom, and even a wooden floor could handle moisture as long as it’s not left standing. Whether you need the other sanitary facilities around the bathing area mainly depends on your personal habits. I generally don’t think so.

A nice idea, but far from practical for me:
Certainly a nice concept for hotels and catalogs, but in my view not practical.
If you have space problems in the bathroom, have you considered moving the interior wall? If it is a load-bearing wall, it can usually be supported with a lintel or steel beam.
This can create a small, cozy shower or bath niche.
- Temperatures: I like it warm in the bathroom, around 22..23..24 degrees Celsius (72..73..75°F). However, I wouldn’t want to sleep at those temperatures.
- Humidity: Anyone who has enjoyed a hot bath knows how much moisture builds up in the air within an hour.
- Everyday life and privacy in all sorts of situations (children, illness, etc.)

After the third day, it started to annoy me because my wife constantly wanted to take a bath and I wanted to sleep.

So, no late-night baths after the club for me… There will be two more bathrooms with showers, so plenty of options for washing. The bathtub will go either in the bedroom or in the master bathroom. So children won’t have easy access there either.
Since we are also considering the resale value, I will probably first try to fit the bathtub into the bathroom, because most people are against having it in the bedroom (even though I find some of the arguments a bit exaggerated).
