ᐅ Bathroom poorly planned — how to arrange it?

Hello,

I made a mistake in the layout of our bathroom that can no longer be reversed. We originally only needed 10-11 sqm (108-118 sq ft), but now it’s 13.5 sqm (145 sq ft). We have no idea how to arrange it now. Attached is a schematic floor plan with the wastewater pipes marked (the blue dots).

It should include:
- walk-in level shower (1 m (3.3 ft))
- double washbasin
- toilet
- bathtub (1.90 x 0.80 m (6.2 x 2.6 ft))
- 1-2 smaller cabinets for some towels

Our idea was to place either the bathtub or the double washbasin in the niche and build a drywall T-wall construction with the upper drain pipe, hiding the toilet and shower behind it, with either the double washbasin or bathtub in front. There are two windows on the right wall, each 1 m (3.3 ft) wide, all other dimensions are interior measurements. The lower window opens in the opposite direction (I only had a simple tool).

Since the space is more than enough for us, we also considered installing an infrared cabin for 1-2 people. But that’s where we run out of ideas. How could something like that be fitted in there?

The wooden structure is an infrared cabin ;-) The idea is to find a way to fit something like that into the available space.

Attached is the next version, which I actually like a lot. However, I didn’t have a proper bathtub option in the planner, so we’d need to find a special one that fits into the corner, slightly angled. The rest of the corner would be tiled up to the height of the bathtub to create a shelf. The cabinets are still missing, but the layout shouldn’t be too bad, right?

Open shower with 1x1m (3x3 ft)?
We currently have an open shower with at least 1.5m (5 ft), if not even 2m (6.5 ft), and water still splashes into the room.
I would prefer the L-shaped solution if it absolutely has to be open/walk-in, so that the splashes hit a wall. Like ypg has shown.

Or skip the trend altogether. We’ve gotten over it. 😀

I’m a bit confused about the dimensions. Are these external or internal measurements?
I also have something else: the program includes bathtubs, but it doesn’t recognize saunas or stud walls yet. 😉

@ypg those are internal dimensions. Understandably, my wife wants the toilet to be separate :S

Then you could add a half-height wall next to the toilet in my latest design 🙂
