Hello,
We will be moving into our new condominium next year and soon need to finalize the bathroom layout. We have already given it a lot of thought and decided to place the shower on the left side of the bathroom. Now we are debating whether to position the sink next to the bathtub or to swap the sink and toilet so they are aligned. In the first option, the toilet is the first thing you see when entering the bathroom. On the other hand, this layout would allow us to use the shelf to the left of the sink, above the bathtub.
I have already planned everything with the help of a building planner and, as mentioned, am only unsure about the sink/toilet arrangement. What do you think? The bathroom measures 4.01 m x 2 m (13.2 ft x 6.6 ft).
I appreciate any ideas or suggestions (also on other points).
Best regards

I agree with you! We’re also very glad to have a guest toilet. It definitely adds value to the home. I just meant that it might not be ideal to leave the door open because of heat loss... but of course, you don’t have to do laundry when guests are visiting, or they immediately see where they are allowed to go.

I’m back again. Now that the floor plan is set, we are currently looking for tiles.
As you know, we have a narrow bathroom with a double-leaf window.
Of course, we don’t want to "weigh down" the room with the wrong floor choice.
Originally, I wanted a dark floor with light tiles on the walls, since we currently have white floor tiles and everything shows on them.
However, most people advised us to use the same floor tile for both the floor and the walls, as this creates a calmer look.
We have now found a light wood-effect tile and could imagine this with white (matte) wall tiles (although we don’t want to tile the wall between the shower and bathtub). We want to tile all walls up to 1.20 meters (4 feet) high to match the in-wall installation, except for the shower area. With this combination, we’re unsure whether the sanitary fixtures (our beautiful bathtub, sink, etc.) will stand out enough. (We have chosen a modern shower tray for the shower, which will be installed at floor level) (see picture, although the wall tiles there are in a light cream tone).
The alternative would be a brown shade, which would naturally provide better contrast with the fixtures. For example, we would choose a lighter tone for the shelf to create accents. (see two pictures)
What do you think? I would be grateful for any tips.
Edit: In the rest of the apartment, we will probably install oiled oak parquet flooring.

Badneuling262 Feb 2017 11:42Hello Yvonne,
Of course, here it is.
Only one thing has changed: the door opens to the left, meaning it swings toward the shower. We will install a door stopper next to the shower so it doesn’t hit the glass enclosure.
I find it more visually appealing not to have the shower immediately in view, although we are still considering having the door open outward. Best regards

Peanuts742 Feb 2017 13:44Has the room become larger or has the bathtub become smaller?
Of course, a room with lighter colors generally appears larger visually. However, I also find some contrast more appealing. In our bathroom, which has a similar style, we chose a rust-brown floor and light wall tiles. Our shelves are also designed with the same floor tiles. It doesn’t feel overwhelming to me, but that really depends on personal taste.
For smaller rooms, I think larger tiles work better. I really like the ones in the second picture. The contrast in the first picture seems a bit too plain for my taste, although I do like the floor there as well. It’s definitely not an easy choice.
