Hello everyone.

This Saturday, we will be selecting the finishes for our bathrooms.

We have already decided how to equip our guest bathroom.

Only the main bathroom still needs some optimization, I think.

I have attached the floor plan for you.

Do you have any ideas?

It is an urban villa, so there are no sloped ceilings on the upper floor.

I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Could you please unlock your profile so that we can take a look at the previous floor plan discussion?

OK, this is where your “quick decision” backfires:
88.5cm (35 inches) rough opening for the shower means that with plaster and tiles you will have less than 80cm (31 inches) of usable width.
Placing the toilet where the floor-to-ceiling window is, so together with the shower where the bathtub currently is, is too short even with 180cm (71 inches) for both.
Have you already submitted an a) wastewater permit / drainage application? Because of the location of the drain?
Is a b) “standard” shower with a door possible?
If yes/no, I would probably keep all positions as they are but shift the window by 10cm (4 inches) and use that space to enlarge the shower. Of course, adjust the others on the front for symmetry.

Because I don’t see any other position for the shower; rotating it all has its drawbacks.
It would also be nicer to be able to look out the north window while sitting on the toilet. That could still be moved.
Let’s see if someone else has any tips.

Does it absolutely have to be a walk-in shower? What about the double washbasin – is that necessary? You’ll need to provide a bit more detail about your requirements. In my opinion, the bathtub is too large in that spot, as it creates a narrow passage to the sink where you almost have to squeeze through.

Make the shower wider and move the window accordingly as suggested. Use a single washbasin with a large mirror for two people. You also need space for towels on the right and left of the double washbasin. Place the toilet paper holder next to the brush to prevent it from getting wet.

You could also swap the shower and bathtub to gain space near the entrance. Then the shower would have a glass door facing the other door. However, I would probably leave it as a walk-in shower.
