Hello,

I would really appreciate your feedback on my bathroom layout plans. Which of the options do you find most appealing or practical? Some areas are a bit tight, for example, there is only 70cm (28 inches) of space between the toilet and the bathtub. Is that too narrow?

- Sanitary fixtures: built-in shower with glass door (to keep it warm while showering), toilet, bidet, bathtub 180 x 80cm (71 x 31 inches), double washbasin
- Room dimensions 3.50 x 3.30m (11.5 x 11 feet), double window with a total width of 1.50m (59 inches) facing east, can be gradually moved to the left or right, door position can be freely adjusted, wall-hung installation system
- Drainage only possible towards the top left of the plan; for example, drains cannot be placed at the bottom right of the plan

Thanks for your tips and suggestions!!

Note about Tetris:
- Bidet and toilet do not necessarily have to be next to each other

There are also toilets with integrated shower functions (e.g., TECEone). They save space, cost only slightly more, and in my opinion are more comfortable to use. I can highly recommend them.

My parents-in-law (who had never had a bidet before and never felt the need for one) recently installed one during their renovation and are really impressed... The toilet looks almost the same as a regular one despite having extra functions, and you don’t have to clean a separate ceramic fixture.

Maybe a silly question and sorry if it’s too personal, but with floor plans like these and the furniture shown, I always wonder why anyone needs a bidet? I only know them from hotels and understand in theory what they are used for. But why is it considered better than just a toilet and toilet paper?

Bidets always have the wrong angle for me, so I wouldn’t plan to install one in a property I own. However, I’ve had a shower like this in my third rental apartment now (these are sometimes available at discount stores as attachments that screw onto a faucet, originally meant for washing hair in the sink).
Never without it again.
It’s a thousand times more hygienic, much gentler, and doesn’t leave any paper residue (no idea if others have issues with that).
Occasionally, I also use it to rinse out things like food leftovers or burnt bits from a pot, or moldy remains of applesauce from a jar, etc.

Imagine you trip in the park and land with your palm right in a dog’s mess. You now have two options to clean your hand:

1) Paper
2) Water

Which would you choose? Please explain!

Hehe...not an easy question to answer. Go outside to the garden and dig moist soil with your bare hands. Then come inside and try to clean your hands using only paper towels. The result is definitely better under running water.

...and you can’t count on having a perfect bowel movement every day.

Sorry! :-P
