Hello everyone,
our house construction is progressing, and I wanted to share the current layout of the bathroom on the upper floor and ask for comments or suggestions for improvement.
The original idea was to have two separate washbasins/mirrors. The floor plan can no longer be changed, except the bathroom width can possibly be extended to 3 m (10 feet). There are no sloped ceilings.
Due to the narrow, elongated layout, I find it difficult to create space for two washbasins...
The long side is 5 m (16 feet), the narrow side is 2.76 m (9 feet).
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Regards,
Mathias

I personally prefer the two bottom layouts.
Although for the bottom left option, I would place the double vanity in the center of the wall.Unfortunately, these are just sketches and might not be feasible – in the bottom left layout, I have already maximized the 3-meter (10-foot) length, so it appears a bit more spacious in width.
In the bottom left, you can see clearly that I tend to criticize elongated bathrooms; this way, different floor coverings can be used to create smaller zones within the space. That’s also why the “cramped” 2-meter (6.5-foot) vanity is opposite the bathtub.

I will check whether the toilet can be moved.
The option at the bottom right is almost like the current layout, but with the bathtub placed lengthwise against the wall and the shower more elongated. That’s the kind of layout we were also thinking about.
I can really imagine placing the washbasin “separately” on the shorter wall, as you suggested. This would create a more divided and visually separated space. However, this only works with a relocated door.
I also like the 3-meter layout. Unfortunately, you face the toilet directly when entering.
I read online that you should break up the length of the room by pulling elements into the space, so it doesn’t feel so corridor-like. I have always liked solutions where you can’t immediately see the toilet or where, for example, two people can use separate washbasins simultaneously.

In this case (bottom or top left), I suggested that. For example, you could use standard-size tiles in front of the shower area, and wooden planks or wood-look tiles between the washbasin and bathtub. The areas can then be connected again with wall tiles. There are incredible possibilities that don’t have to be expensive at all.
Thank you, Kerstin.
I also quite like the top left layout, and it would probably be a good alternative if the toilet is not to be relocated.
With a length of 5 meters (16 feet), it really comes down to precise planning down to the centimeter (inch) if you want the shower and the passageway to be spacious. As a divider above and below the tub (also for the shower), I wouldn’t extend it to full ceiling height—aiming for about 1.60 meters (5 feet 3 inches) would be better to maintain transparency.
I stopped at the bottom right due to a lack of sensible ideas. The top right side also lacks a clear system…

In this layout:
I would enclose the bathtub with walls up to a maximum height of 100 cm (40 inches). A glass panel could then be installed for the shower in this area. This should keep the space feeling open and also allow natural light into the shower. Plus, when sitting in the bathtub, you won’t feel so enclosed.
The 5 m (16 ft) space is very well utilized: 2 m (6.5 ft) for the shower, 2 m (6.5 ft) for the bathtub, and 1 m (3.3 ft) for the toilet area – all generously sized. Then there’s a great washbasin which could be extended with additional storage.
For the floor, I could imagine bamboo in the bathtub and washbasin area, with nice tiles for the rest.
