Hello everyone,
I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:
We will try to schedule another appointment with the bathroom planner soon, but we don’t want to come completely unprepared,
so any tips are very welcome!
Thanks in advance and have a nice evening,

I would appreciate it if you could take a look at our bathroom layout plans.
Here is some background information:
- 14.4m² (155 ft²), upper floor (full story), window sill height = 1m (3.3 ft)
- The designs are roughly oriented to the north; to the east of the bathroom, behind the drywall, the bedroom is mirrored. It probably makes sense to avoid placing the toilet on this wall.
- Design option 1 corresponds to the original plan, but the L-shape is not desirable (too cramped, too little light).
- Design option 2 was proposed by the bathroom planner, and a corresponding 3D rendering is included. I actually like it, but my partner dislikes the small partition wall as well as the view from the toilet towards the window.
- The other designs are my (failed) attempts to fit all sanitary fixtures in the room 🙁
- Required are: bathtub, shower (120x100cm (47x39 inches), mostly glass, with a door), toilet, bidet, sink (120cm (47 inches) wide)
- Dark, secluded corners are not desirable, so the T-shaped design is ruled out as well
- If necessary, we would also consider a freestanding bathtub, or possibly a corner bathtub, if that fits better.
- Adjusting the windows by a few centimeters or modifying the sill height on the west side would probably also be possible
- I imagine a bathtub in front of the windows might not be very practical, but I wouldn’t completely exclude it
- The windows face the street or the neighbor’s property, so the view is not a major consideration 😉

so any tips are very welcome!

What maintenance? Sensitive technology? Price might be a factor, but it’s definitely more comfortable than a bidet! ypg schrieb:
I would plan with a bidet. A separate bidet has its advantages. We have been going back and forth, but even though the shower toilet might be more comfortable, we would first like to try to include the bidet. If it really doesn’t work out, the shower toilet is back in the running. There are also some with only the “basic functions” that might be more suitable.

Briefly, options 3 or 4 would be my favorite. Hmm, in option 4, the toilet/bidet is somewhat exposed in the room, and I’m worried about access to the window handles. In option 3, the bathtub would be on the bedroom wall, which is probably best for noise reduction. I’ll take a closer look at that.
P.S. If you have completely different suggestions, always feel free to share them!
Good luck,

Hausbaufaehig3 Jul 2022 01:14I quickly recreated the design from #4 in the planner; it looks pretty good:
The bidet and toilet are now placed along a 140cm (55 inch) wall, probably a bit tight. If necessary, the partition wall or shower tray could be extended by 10–20cm (4–8 inches), although this is actually unnecessary because of the door 🤨

An additional 10 or 20cm (4 or 8 inches) would be the “distance” from the toilet to the end of the half-height wall. I can’t judge how that looks visually without a photo edit.
However, that would make the wall unnecessarily long. In terms of space, you have enough room to move on the right side of the toilet (when seated). How wide is the passage to the shower?
I would place the toilet next to the window since you spend more time sitting there, and having the window nearby offers more privacy.
Consider whether you really value the advantages of a bidet (we had one for a long time and found it practical for quickly washing feet or soaking/rinsing a swimsuit; otherwise, I can’t think of other benefits). A shower toilet is much more comfortable to sit on and offers various more convenient washing options; we tried one in a bathroom showroom’s customer restroom and were convinced afterwards. Regarding price: we never missed the drying function, the basic version is fine.

motorradsilke3 Jul 2022 09:07I would prefer the original design number 4. Since you have a second window, you don’t need to access the window above the bathtub as often. I wouldn’t like design number 2 because I don’t want to sit on the toilet with my back to the door.
I also like the design from post 4. I don’t think it’s too tight. You can just try it out. If necessary, you can extend the wall by 10cm (4 inches).
