Hello everyone!

Who would like to help me with the bathroom design?

Our bathroom measures 3.50 m x 2.86 m (11 ft 6 in x 9 ft 5 in). If you draw it in portrait orientation, the walls are as follows:

- On the left is a 350-cm (11 ft 6 in) wall with a continuous strip window across the entire width of the room (sill height 132 cm (52 inches)).
- On the right is a 350-cm (11 ft 6 in) wall where the door must be placed, though it can still be moved.
- The top and bottom walls each measure 286 cm (9 ft 5 in).

The floor-to-ceiling tiled shower has to be positioned on the upper wall of the room because of the drain location, but naturally not in front of the window.

Otherwise, the following fixtures should be placed:
- Double sink (130 cm x 48 cm) (51 in x 19 in)
- Standard-size bathtub (175 cm x 75 cm) (69 in x 30 in)
- Toilet

At first, we thought of a T-layout:

2D floor plan of a bathroom with toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower


However, 2.86 m (9 ft 5 in) room width seems too narrow for a T-layout. The passage to the shower is too tight, and without a door on the shower, water splashes out—which is usually the advantage of a T-layout, allowing you to avoid having a shower door.

So, we modified the plan to an L-layout:

Bathroom floor plan with toilet, sink, shower, and bathtub


But we didn’t find that very convincing either. Currently, we are considering the following solution:

Bathroom floor plan with bathtub, toilet, sink, and shower


The toilet and bathtub could also be swapped, which would place the shower/bath area in the upper half of the room and the toilet/sink area in the lower half.

Do you have any other ideas or suggestions?

Best regards

@Bieber: Which design are you referring to? The partition walls are already shown in the last two plans I posted.

A quick idea:

Or have I missed something that argues against it?

@Jochen: Thanks for this new version! My opinion on it: The bottom left corner seems like wasted space. The area between the washbasin and the bathtub appears very tight.

@jx7 ... I don’t understand your argument. In your original plan, you had the washbasin and bathtub placed just like Jochen:



The only difference is that Jochen moved the toilet to the lower right corner to create a properly long wall for the washbasin and allow the shower to be entered generously without water splashing out. There would still be space for a towel warmer or something similar.

The space between the washbasin and the bathtub is about 98 cm (39 inches). I just measured this at my place: 98 cm (39 inches) O_o

I don’t find that narrow at all. There’s enough room for two or three people to use the bathroom comfortably. Alternatively, you could make the shower a bit narrower. At 90 x 200 cm (35 x 79 inches), it would still be a huge shower for the whole family (:

The location of the washbasin is directly in front of the door. I don’t find that very appealing either.
