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

Badneuling268 Dec 2016 11:22@souly75 we’re worried about that too, especially when you want to open the drawers of the vanity cabinet.
By now, we think the original plan might actually be better. We’ll just have the shower door open towards the toilet.
That way, there’s more space on the left side. Only a bath cabinet (36 cm (14 inches) deep) will fit there.
What do you think?

Yes, that is a good alternative. Honestly, I sometimes regret our shower door because we didn’t really think it through.
I find it funny that we had the same idea about the bathtub.. but don’t worry about the situation in front of the window. It’s really not a big deal. Feel free to keep me updated.
Maybe I would also consider swapping the toilet and the sink.

After a lot of back and forth, we decided on this option:
It was important to my husband that after showering, he has enough space to dry off without any collisions.
Furthermore, we almost kept the toilet on the left until the very end because we thought it was deeper and therefore better for the 80cm (31.5 inches) narrow area.
In the end, we decided to place the washbasin on the left, as this allows us to keep the toilet out of sight. Also, it’s easier for someone standing at the washbasin to step aside if things get a bit tight, compared to if someone is sitting on the toilet.

Draw it again on graph paper (for example, 1cm (0.4 inches) represents 20cm (8 inches)) as accurately as possible with real measurements and measure the passage. Since the shower and washbasin are offset from each other, the space can be more generous than I initially suggested above.
However, you need to add the plaster and tiles on the walls as well.
