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

Unfortunately, the simple fact is that due to health limitations, I am unable to kneel. 🙁 I can (still) and do it that way anyway.

Regarding the color, I have currently chosen light gray because it is less likely to show visible lime stains (and there will definitely be some, which I won’t remove immediately); the darker the color, the more visible such stains become. So what now...? Practical or stylish? If I had to choose, I’d go with stylish and pick what I like.
We recently had almost black tile flooring, and I’m not a neat freak either. But I didn’t have that problem. Gold and gray wouldn’t be my choice.

Bertram1003 Jan 2021 21:05Yes, here I’m definitely in favor of brown over gray to gold.
I’m really excited about the bathtub. Hopefully, we’ll get photos of the actual model once it’s ready? 🙂
I think it’s cool!
Zapp, if kneeling is difficult for you, then a cleaning service is the best option. Tiles need to be cleaned or wiped down occasionally anyway. You don’t have to do it yourself if it’s no longer possible.

I’m really excited to see the bathtub. Hopefully, we’ll get photos of the actual model when the time comes? 🙂
I think it’s great!
Zapp, if you have trouble kneeling, hiring a cleaning assistant is the best solution. Tiles do need cleaning and wiping down every now and then. You don’t have to do it yourself if it becomes too difficult. I already mentioned the cleaning assistant earlier (every two weeks …)
Of course, we will present the final result here!
I would still plan to install the showerhead on the left wall, using a wall-mounted extension if necessary. Just pay attention to how the water splashes when you’re showering. When you stand underneath, a lot of water usually splashes to the right or left. You could place the mixer valve at the bottom of the plan, all the way to the left corner, and then mount the showerhead with a rail on the left wall. Instead of, for example, having them side by side like I do:
And if the first meter (yard) of the partition next to the bathtub is actually drywall with tiles, then your cleaning help can easily clean this every other week, and the 50cm (20 inches) glass panel towards the front will hardly get any water on it anyway. I think that especially if the glass panel were to sit on top of a half-height wall on the outside, you always have to clean that ledge so no water pools there. Besides, I don’t find it visually appealing if shampoo bottles, shower gels, etc., are placed there. You can see them from outside, and usually, they’re not color-coordinated with the bathroom design but just the brands and types people like to use.
