Hello,
we have been renovating our mid-terrace house from the 1960s for several months now, and I have been following this forum for almost as long. It’s about time we make some decisions regarding the bathroom layout. Since I have redesigned the arrangement countless times, I’m starting to worry that I’m becoming too focused to see it objectively. I would really appreciate your feedback and suggestions!
Attached is a dimensioned sketch of the room along with the current design concept we have in mind.
Some background information:
- The room was originally not a bathroom. All plumbing will be newly installed, and the wastewater ventilation stack will run in the corner of the house behind the bathtub.
- We want a double washbasin.
- A bathtub is not a must, but I think the space allows for one. We have already tested the space-saving model with the dimensions shown and found it suitable. The window can also still be opened comfortably.
- The shower is designed with a glass door and half wall. In home showrooms, we often didn’t like the walk-in showers, which are usually too dark. Also, T-style layouts often felt cramped and dark in a similar amount of space.
Best regards,
Matti

Yes, that’s not ideal. That’s why I immediately thought of the L-shaped solution.It’s really a well-designed layout; I just put it together quickly. Tough decision!
We would need to choose the corner bathtub carefully—preferably compact without compromising comfort.
+ less glass to clean
+ nice natural light in front of the mirror
- shower becomes darker and somewhat narrower (about 95cm (37 inches) here)
- passage to the toilet is narrower
How high should the shower walls be to prevent splashing? Does it make sense to install 200cm (79 inches) high shower walls with a ceiling height of about 245cm (96 inches) to allow more light?

I like the current design better. I think it also works well without a door. Of course, some light would be nice on the other side; an LED in that area would also do. The bathroom itself should have good lighting, but you usually spend only a few minutes in the shower.
In my opinion, it doesn't need to be higher than 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches).
