ᐅ A man is planning a bathroom—can this turn out well?

My two bathrooms are "basically" already planned.

However, while walking through the construction site, some fresh ideas came up.

At the moment, I still have quite a bit of freedom to redesign, although walls, doors, and some small details are naturally already fixed.

Here is the ground floor bathroom (for personal use) as I have planned it:

The position of the shower is already fixed, or rather the full-height pre-wall element, since wastewater and the mechanical ventilation system for indoor air have to run from above through it. The shower is to be enclosed on three sides by about 2m (6.5 feet) high glass panels, approximately 130-140cm (51-55 inches) deep, without a door or curtain.

My wish for a freestanding bathtub hasn’t yet been graphically implemented in a way I find visually appealing. But then the idea came up to place the washbasin on a T-shaped element next to the toilet and position the bathtub diagonally in the corner on the right. Problem: It could get a bit tight next to the toilet, or you might be partially blocking the doorway while standing at the washbasin. Does anyone have a better idea? My desired bathtub (haven’t tried sitting in it yet) would be a real eye-catcher like, for example, this one

One reason: I would probably enjoy the look every time I enter the bathroom. And it would surely create a wow effect for guests (I don’t have a separate guest toilet). And if others enjoy it, so do I 😎

But I’m still a bit nervous about committing to one like this. Just for your information: A bathtub is essential for me (also for medical reasons).

@ypg Hardly possible to step on my toes with such things :p

Since you are building the bathroom just for yourself, it will hardly be a problem that the sink is located right next to the door. I can really understand your enthusiasm for the great bathtub. Your idea is excellent.
The bathtub too. Take a look at pietre di rapelano, they also have stunning bathtubs.

Seeing the bathtub like this, I can say that we have the exact same one, just in white instead of gold.

And... comfortable? (I’m 1.8m (5 ft 11 in) tall)

I wasn’t even inside yet 😀 The woman says she is comfortable (1.60 meters (5 feet 3 inches) tall), so I have to believe her.

90% of freestanding bathtubs are extremely uncomfortable. We searched for a long time and eventually found a great bathtub, even though its appearance is somewhat less attractive. So be careful and pay attention to ergonomics! Definitely try lying in it before buying.
