ᐅ Bathroom Planning – Layout and Design

Hello everyone,

we are currently gutting our new apartment and would like to start planning the bathroom. We are facing some challenges in how to best divide the space and would appreciate your support.

I am attaching the floor plans of the apartment. Our goal is to include a guest toilet if possible and practical given the limited space. There is an option to enlarge the bathroom by about 25 cm (10 inches), moving the wall further into the kitchen.

The main requirements for the bathroom are:

• Toilet (ideally also a urinal, if feasible)
• Large washbasin with mirror cabinet
• Walk-in shower (at least 1 x 1 m (3 ft 3 in x 3 ft 3 in), preferably larger)
• Bathtub
• Heated towel rail
• Niches, for example in the shower, for storage
• Enough space for a shelf and a laundry basket

The window height in the bathroom is approximately 95 cm (37 inches) from the finished floor level, so installing a toilet at this location is generally possible. Additionally, there is a 10 cm (4 inches) thick wall panel running along the entire wall. Inside the bathroom wall, there are 2 x DN110 HT pipes in the corners on the window side. Thanks to the raised floor and suspended ceiling in the bathroom below, the pipes can be routed almost anywhere.

The bathroom entrance can be modified to create a rectangular room if this looks better aesthetically.

If you have any creative ideas for space-saving or especially functional layouts, we would be very grateful! We are open to suggestions and look forward to hearing about your experiences.

Thank you in advance!
