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 😉

Or you can completely separate the toilet and bidet. If the toilet is separated, I would always include at least a small hand basin. For example, this is common in Japan (usually no toilet in the main bathroom, but a toilet plus a mini hand basin in a separate room. What we might consider a guest bathroom on the ground floor is more or less the standard setup for all toilet rooms there). Otherwise, after every use of the toilet, you would have to go back into the main area and handle doors with unwashed hands. (Unless you use the bidet for hand washing, but that would rather be considered poor planning.)

Maybe this one as well:

Thanks, very interesting! I had planned something similar, but dismissed it due to the short distance between the shower and the window. If you shorten the shower tray to 110cm (43 inches), it might just work, but the shower door would partially block the window sash.
Would you build the shower/toilet partition wall only 100 to 120cm (39 to 47 inches) high and use glazing above that? Or make it fully glass?

This way, two people can use the bathroom independently of the toilet. Wow, something quite different this time 😉 I actually like the idea of a separate toilet area, but I agree with
motorradsilke: this would break up the bathroom a bit, and you would probably have to plan something like this from the start in the floor plan.
I somehow feel bad now because you present so many great designs and I never seem satisfied 🙁
Nevertheless, many thanks and best regards,

Would you build the shower/toilet partition wall only up to 100/120cm (39/47 inches) high and glass the upper part? Or use full glass? Your concern about placing the shower next to the window seems unfounded to me, especially since the “waterfall” showerhead would be in the back corner. We have an open shower with a depth of 1.40m (55 inches), and the area in front of it doesn’t get wet (only if we step out with wet feet). Here I have marked 1.50m (59 inches) — I see no reason to enclose the shower. If the window still seems too close, it will have to be moved or resized.
For aesthetics, I would go with full glass, but with a pattern.

That doesn’t matter.
