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 😉
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!

Instead of a bidet, I would go for a washlet toilet—one less fixture to worry about.
Option number 5 seems best if the sink and bathtub are swapped. I would also use the bidet for washing feet… the room offers plenty of space, which should be used somehow, so I wouldn’t find the pair intrusive 🙂

My better half doesn’t like the small partition wall and the view from the toilet onto the window. How many people is the bathroom intended for? I’m a bit confused and have a few questions:

It’s a pity we don’t want an open shower, What do you mean? Glass showers are open, right? Or are you referring to the door?

Shower (120x100cm (47x39 inches), lots of glass, with door) Hausbaufaehig schrieb:
If necessary, the partition wall/shower tray could be extended by 10-20cm (4-8 inches), although with the door, this is actually unnecessary 🤨 Are you sure you want to deal with cleaning the glass? With these dimensions, not only the side panel but also the door need to be regularly wiped and dried…
I don’t want to argue, just making sure you’re aware of this. Maybe it’s something you haven’t considered.

Sink (120cm (47 inches)) Personally, I find that a bit too short. We only have a 55cm (22 inch) wide sink on a 160cm (63 inch) countertop, and the countertop space doesn’t provide significant extra benefits.
In principle, I wouldn’t plan the bathtub directly next to or opposite the door. A door often creates a bit of a restless feeling. On the other hand, the view outside from the toilet would be quite nice. Natural light at the sink area is important, rather than having the shower path right next to a street-facing window…

Thank you very much already for the many great comments! I have to leave soon but will respond to your posts individually by this evening at the latest. In the meantime, I quickly created number 3 in 3D; more on that later.
Good luck,

I quickly recreated the design from #4 in the planner, it looks quite okay:This only works if the bathroom is always intended to be used by one person at a time. Otherwise, someone is sitting on the toilet while being showered from behind. I also don’t understand why anyone would want to place a shower, which requires frequent cleaning, in the middle of the room.
Because of the two windows, the solution that you didn’t want would be my favorite.
So, three with the T-layout.

If it were mine, I would rather soundproof and reinforce the wall next to the bedroom, then place the toilet and bidet against that wall.
Something like this:

A shower in front of the window is rather suboptimal.A matter of personal taste. We have it like that in our holiday home – it’s fantastic.Similar topics
