Hello everyone,
our house planning is gradually taking a more concrete shape.
We’re still having some trouble figuring out the layout of the main bathroom.
Since all the main rooms will be on the ground floor, the bathroom is quite small (3.55 m x 2.20 m (11 ft 8 in x 7 ft 3 in)).
The following elements should be included:
The door should remain where it is currently marked.
The window could be shifted to the left or right or resized.
The interior partition walls are ideally made of glass and approximately 2 m (6 ft 7 in) high.
What do you think of this design?
Maybe you have some ideas or suggestions?
Oh, and it’s just the two of us, and there is also a small guest bathroom with a shower.
I have attached a draft for reference.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Olli

- Bathtub
- Toilet
- Towel radiator

Hello,
thanks in advance for the initial suggestions.
I would also prefer glass walls, as it should appear more spacious.
That is meant to be a splash guard.
That could work. How long should the shower be to avoid flooding the whole bathroom when showering?
It doesn’t need to be barrier-free, but we don’t know what the future holds since we’re both approaching 60.
A bathtub is a must-have; we always had one before.
It was rarely used, mainly we just showered, so we always said, “Bathtub? Waste of space, we don’t need it.”
We are currently living temporarily in NRW with only a shower, and now we miss the bathtub very much 😡.
So the bathtub is a must, along with a shower, preferably walk-in.
I don’t like the toilet centered in front of the window; I’d rather have the bathtub there.
Best regards,
Olli

What is the wall next to the bathtub for? I don’t see the point.

Why do you need such a large shower?
If you make it smaller, a bathtub would fit behind it:

I find towel radiators quite practical, but it can be placed behind the door, which we do now as well, so it doesn’t get in the way. Sure, if it doesn’t cause any inconvenience. You might want to read some discussions here on this topic, often related to underfloor heating, so you don’t install something that might not work properly. Currently, we have exactly two cases like that where the towel radiator was connected to the underfloor heating, but it doesn’t work at all. From what I’ve learned reading a lot here, the combination of underfloor heating and radiators was generally implemented rather roughly. Therefore, it’s sometimes recommended to provide an alternative mounting option, although the towel usually dries on its own during the day. So… be careful when choosing the system to make sure it suits your needs; that’s basically what I meant.
From what I read, the focus is more on showering, preferably walk-in. In that case, I would definitely go for at least 140cm (55 inches) in depth.
I like your design, although the shower could be a few centimeters shorter, which would give you more space for the toilet and bathroom areas. Maybe also consider other bathtub shapes…
Hello again,
the builder’s offer states
"in the bathroom, the towel radiator connected to the heating system or electric"
Currently, we have an electric radiator and underfloor heating.
However, we rarely turn the radiator on; mostly, our shower towels just hang on it...
Best regards, Olli

Hello everyone,
After reviewing and discussing all the suggestions and ideas, we have finally reached a decision. 🙂 Of course, we want to share it with you.
We managed to gain an extra 10cm (4 inches) in width somehow. The interior dimensions are now 3.55 x 2.30 meters (11 ft 8 in x 7 ft 7 in), definitely the maximum possible. 🙁
We are planning a hexagonal bathtub with sides measuring 1.45 x 1.45 meters (4 ft 9 in x 4 ft 9 in). In addition, there will be a walk-in shower 0.90 x 1.90 meters (3 ft x 6 ft 3 in), a toilet, and a sink.
For the shower, glass walls about 2 meters (6 ft 7 in) high will be installed.
It is still undecided whether the towel warmer will be connected to the underfloor heating or the electrical system; according to the architect, both options are possible. However, we tend to prefer the electric connection.
Feedback (positive and negative) is welcome – let the family discussions start again – though I hope this plan will stay as it is now. 🙂
Best regards,
Olli
