Hello everyone,
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:
We will try to schedule another appointment with the bathroom planner soon, but we don’t want to come completely unprepared,
so any tips are very welcome!
Thanks in advance and have a nice evening,

I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:
- 14.4m² (155 ft²), upper floor (full story), window sill height = 1m (3.3 ft)
- The designs are roughly oriented to the north; to the east of the bathroom, behind the drywall, the bedroom is mirrored. It probably makes sense to avoid placing the toilet on this wall.
- Design option 1 corresponds to the original plan, but the L-shape is not desirable (too cramped, too little light).
- Design option 2 was proposed by the bathroom planner, and a corresponding 3D rendering is included. I actually like it, but my partner dislikes the small partition wall as well as the view from the toilet towards the window.
- The other designs are my (failed) attempts to fit all sanitary fixtures in the room 🙁
- Required are: bathtub, shower (120x100cm (47x39 inches), mostly glass, with a door), toilet, bidet, sink (120cm (47 inches) wide)
- Dark, secluded corners are not desirable, so the T-shaped design is ruled out as well
- If necessary, we would also consider a freestanding bathtub, or possibly a corner bathtub, if that fits better.
- Adjusting the windows by a few centimeters or modifying the sill height on the west side would probably also be possible
- I imagine a bathtub in front of the windows might not be very practical, but I wouldn’t completely exclude it
- The windows face the street or the neighbor’s property, so the view is not a major consideration 😉
We will try to schedule another appointment with the bathroom planner soon, but we don’t want to come completely unprepared,
so any tips are very welcome!
Thanks in advance and have a nice evening,

Yes, a washbasin in the north makes sense; would the layout look something like this? The "problem" of limited space between the toilet and bidet remains:
Do two people ever use the toilet and bidet at the same time? Probably not, right? I'm not a fan of bidets; I soak laundry in a basin and wash my feet in the shower. For cleaning after using the toilet, I would prefer a shower toilet.

I’ll bring a tape measure on my next visit to the bathroom showroom and check what might be sufficient.

You’re quick with the 3D view. I like that.
However, the non-full-height walls were originally planned to be a bit lower. The ones by the bathtub should end at the top edge of the tub – so around 50 to 60cm (20 to 24 inches). The shower wall without glass aligns with the front wall of the washbasins. It’s meant only as a splash guard. Otherwise, the room feels too “broken up,” in my opinion. Is this more like what you had in mind? I would also plan a small glass panel in front of the washbasin for additional splash protection 😉
However, I think the design won’t work because of the window in the shower, despite its appealing look.
But thanks anyway! If you have any other suggestions, we’re open to all ideas.

So more like this?You’re not being economical with the walls. I thought you wanted an open-plan design?!Hausbaufaehig schrieb:
I just don’t know if that’s really necessary with fully tiled wallsHausbaufaehig schrieb:
For example, can you really leave a fully tiled shower wet without issues?It’s enough to dry the tiles with a towel. You don’t have to be precise, just enough to prevent limescale buildup.H

You’re not being sparing with the walls. I thought you preferred an open design?! I just wanted to visualize the design from K a t j a; sorry if I misunderstood anything 😳

So having tiles or similar on 2–3 sides of the shower wouldn’t be a bad idea. Provided the niche isn’t completely facing away from the room (like a T-shape or similar), I’d find that quite nice. Something like this, just in a nicer design:
