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 😉

Actually, the bidet can be used for washing feet, which I do quite often because of my garden; I’m not using it for anything else. I had a bidet in Germany and I really miss it. I don’t know what the custom is for couples in Germany, but when I’m in the bathroom, I’m alone—meaning one person uses the toilet while the other brushes their teeth is not something I do. I don’t want or need anyone watching me in the bathroom. Personally, I also wouldn’t have a second washbasin in the bathroom.
Now, next to my toilet, I have a handheld bidet spray—I’m not sure what this is called in Germany—it’s the kind of fixture commonly found in Middle Eastern households.
The picture of the bathroom in the initial post is one of my daughter’s bathrooms; she has three plus a separate toilet. The property was just sold for a lot of money, and she had all the bathrooms and everything else completely renovated in 2018.

You still have a second window in the bathroom that you can use for ventilation. So you really only need access to the large one for cleaning. That’s true, but the second one is a bit less practical since it’s right in front of the mirror. There are also these “half” freestanding bathtubs—meaning the back is flush against the wall and the front curves into the room. I’ll take a closer look at those. Maybe you wouldn’t need a floor-mounted faucet either.

I agree. Now in summer, our underfloor heating is off too, but the tiles warm up quickly from the warm water. I definitely haven’t needed the additional electric heater in the towel radiator during the eight months we’ve been living in the house.
I would always leave it open at first; you can always add a door later. I think we will be happier with a door; installing one later is probably quite a big effort.

I don’t like large bathrooms; most of them have around 5 m² (54 ft²) of empty space in the middle, the bathtub pushed into one corner, everything else in the other corners—it always looks so outdated.
My choice

I think the space we have doesn’t quite allow for it or it wasn’t considered in the floor plan. If it would fit, I would probably also include the bidet and an additional sink in the WC area 😉

The property was recently sold for a very high price, and she had all the bathrooms and everything else completely renovated in 2018. Wow, congratulations! In my opinion, it could also come from an architecture magazine 😀
Is that real marble or engineered stone with a marble look?
I had saved the link as inspiration and must have accidentally included it in the post.

You should take a look at the bathroom pictures from @Alessandro; I think that style could suit your place. It looks great too. Funny thing: I searched for @Alessandro’s bathroom here on the forum and realized that I had already saved some pictures of the shower as inspiration :p
Can someone tell me if tagging a user with "@" notifies them about the post, or should I contact Alessandro directly (if I’m allowed/can)?
I have a few questions and would like to see the rest of the bathroom....
