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

Isometric bathroom layout: bathtub left, toilet, sink with mirror, shower right.

@Peanuts74 The room has remained at the dimensions of 4.01 x 2.00 meters (13.16 x 6.56 feet). For the bathtub, we decided on a 1.70-meter (5 feet 7 inches) tub.

Hello @souly75 Thank you! You’re right: it’s not easy.

For example:
A medium-tone floor so that dust and hair are less noticeable.
I would use a dark accent for the pre-wall installation and the bathtub surround. Possibly also make the two shower walls dark, with the remaining walls left un-tiled and light.

I would always work with an accent. This tone could also be laid as stripes in the floor or as a wide baseboard strip.

I'm not sure if that might be too much contrast if both shower walls become darker... it could make the space feel cramped or immediately draw the eye to the left when entering. Otherwise, I like the suggestion from @ypg.

What exactly is supposed to feel overwhelming in a shower that is one meter (4 square meters) with a 1.30-meter (4 feet 3 inches) pre-wall plus a 0.45-meter (1 foot 6 inches) tub? It also depends on the color or tile format. For example, brown tones in a mosaic style, glass, or those curved tiles with some metal in them. Take a look at my construction blog under fittings...

Well, it’s a matter of personal taste... in any case, it’s a good idea to visualize one or two of the walls.
