Hello everyone,
For some reason, our previous post was deleted.
So, I am trying again. If there is anything inappropriate about the question, please let me know briefly so I can adjust it accordingly.
We are currently in the detailed planning phase while waiting for the building permit / planning permission.
Our requirements/wishes for the bathrooms are as follows:
Master bathroom
Double sink (or a single sink with two faucets) with vanity cabinet
Walk-in shower with floor-level entry (at least 90x120cm (35x47 inches), preferably 90x150cm (35x59 inches))
Bathtub 90x190cm (35x75 inches)
Toilet with privacy screen
Heated towel rail
Children’s bathroom
Walk-in shower with floor-level entry (90x90cm (35x35 inches))
Toilet (with privacy screen if it fits)
Sink with vanity cabinet, ideally 90cm (35 inches) wide to allow two children to get ready comfortably at the same time
Heated towel rail if there is space
In general, the children’s bathroom can be simpler than the master bathroom. The kids already have a large part of the upper floor area, so a nice bathroom should be our luxury.
Currently, we find the bathrooms on the upper floor a bit suboptimal (see attached), but we have not yet come up with a better solution. The children’s bathroom basically fits well in our opinion, but since both rooms are next to each other, changing one might require adjusting the other.
What we particularly feel is missing is a privacy screen for the toilet in the master bathroom. At the moment, it looks like there is no room for this. Also, the space between the sink and the bathtub seems a bit narrow to me (currently, only a 45cm (18 inches) deep sink is drawn, and we have chosen a 90cm (35 inches) wide bathtub (190cm (75 inches) length, but this shouldn’t be an issue here)), so it doesn’t seem easy to comfortably pass by each other (with a 45cm (18 inches) deep sink and an 80cm (31 inches) wide bathtub, there is 114cm (45 inches) of space).
Are we overthinking this, or do you think it already works?
We would appreciate your feedback and tips!
Thank you very much

Alessandro17 Aug 2020 10:45I completely disagree.
1. How often do you take baths?
2. You don’t necessarily have to use the toilet right before getting into the bathtub.
3. I find a toilet next to the washbasin much more unpleasant, because you use the washbasin at least twice a day, but certainly not the bathtub that often.
4. As shown in the plan, the headboard is exactly on the opposite side.

In this case, the head end of the bathtub would definitely be at the bottom (I have also read the related neighbor thread ).
I see many valid points from Allessandro, but I don’t find the solution truly optimal either.
What do you think about swapping the toilet and the bathtub completely? Or is having the bathtub in front of the window generally not recommended?

@kbt09I overlooked that, sorry.
I need to look it up at home as I don’t have it on hand right now, but it should be around 230cm (90 inches) if you compare it to the other walls.
