Hello
I would like to get your opinion on my bathroom layout. (Household of 4 people)
Upper floor: Family bathroom with toilet, large washbasin, bathtub, washing machine, large shower (1.5 x 1.3 m (4 ft 11 in x 4 ft 3 in))
Rough dimensions: 4.4 x 2.5 m (14 ft 5 in x 8 ft 2 in)
Ground floor: Guest and backup bathroom, toilet, washbasin, large shower,
Rough dimensions: 2.4 x 2.5 m (7 ft 10 in x 8 ft 2 in)
The bathrooms do not need to be fully accessible but should be comfortable to use and not too cramped.

@Peter81, you might want to reconsider that.

I don’t think a curtain is that bad nowadays. There are some really nice ones available these days. We also have one in our children's bathroom. Firstly, the curtain adds color and a cheerful atmosphere to the bathroom, and secondly, I don’t have to clean a glass door. And thirdly, without the curtain, my kids would get cold and the bathroom would get flooded, even though the shower is large enough – but kids will be kids :-D The curtain doesn’t come into contact with their legs either.
We also have two small children, and at the moment there is a glass door in the shower. Under the circumstances, I don’t find that very practical. I think a curtain would be better, at least as long as the children are small.
However, I wouldn’t rule out switching to a glass door later on.
By the way, our current shower measures 1.7 m x 1.5 m (5.6 ft x 4.9 ft). I really like that size and would want the same in our new bathroom.
That said, I understand that it doesn’t help if the rest of the bathroom becomes too cramped because of it. You should definitely be able to move around comfortably.

Was that a thoughtful or a horrified smiley 😀 @YvonneBoth 🙂
I can definitely imagine using a curtain for a child’s shower—you can just wash it in the washing machine and avoid cleaning glass or similar. There are also cheerful ones you can swap out from time to time.
But when planning... I would always plan without a curtain, that is, with glass! And if you have the space: without any enclosure at all!
Today, I showered again in my old childhood bathroom at my parents’ place: works just fine with a 90cm x 90cm (35in x 35in) shower and a sliding door :p

planning... I would always plan without a curtain, so with glass! And if there’s enough space: with nothing at all! I really can’t understand this statement at all! Do you actually think that limescale, which is less visible compared to tiles, doesn’t exist at all??? I find that glass, after regular wiping, is always clean, whereas tiles are really difficult to get limescale off of. Because of the grout lines, you can’t wipe them as easily, in my opinion...
