We are currently in the middle of the final design phase and have not yet agreed on the main bathroom on the upper floor.
Attached are part of the floor plan and the current layout as well as an alternative draft.
We want two sinks or a double sink (this will be finalized during material selection), a bathtub, a toilet, a towel radiator, and a walk-in shower. We would prefer the shower to be built with masonry and without a door. However, if space does not allow, we would consider other options.
Our issue with the two drafts is that there is very little space left for additional cabinets or shelves. Unfortunately, we are unsure how to solve this. We are also uncertain whether the sinks positioned on this wall are practical and if noise will be a problem in the bedroom when they are in use. Although the plumbing will be installed within stud walls, we remain skeptical. We are considering swapping the sinks and the bathtub, but this does not seem to provide any additional space either.
Do you have any suggestions for improvements or perhaps completely new ideas?

A quick suggestion based on what is commonly seen today:
The bathtub is used least often, so place it against the wall at the bottom of the layout next to the bedroom. This minimizes disturbance for the other occupant.
An L-shaped layout along the top wall: a 2m (6 ft 7 in) walk-in shower on the left, and a 1m (3 ft 3 in) toilet on the right.
You can then mount your heated towel rail near the shower exit and place additional cabinets along the bottom wall, depending on how you position the bathtub there.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, even after reading it several times, I’m still not quite sure what you meant. Sorry, I’m a bit confused.
Could you maybe draw a small sketch as a visual aid?Maybe it will become clearer if you read through the many bathroom/floor plan discussions available here in the forum. Somehow, they all tend to be similar – either a T-shaped or L-shaped layout.
