We want to renovate our bathroom and are currently considering how to make the best use of the space. There is a sloping ceiling that limits the usable area somewhat. The door opens inward and cannot be changed.

I have attached an initial sketch. The toilet needs to be positioned closer to the slope, but I am unsure about the minimum required height there.

Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

@nicci19 ... no sketch is attached, so the "Sad" rating is to let you know that something has been written.

This is the floor plan from the construction drawing, but it’s not entirely accurate. The drains are located in the bottom left corner.

The front edge of the toilet must be properly aligned with the 2-meter (6.6 feet) line, so that there is at least 2 meters (6.6 feet) of space in front of it.

Positioning it across the slope like this is not ideal. It becomes awkward when cleaning around the toilet or if you tend to lean to the right due to balance issues. Using the toilet should not cause headaches.

I would either reposition the toilet to its original location and/or extend the shower along the entire bottom side of the plan. The seating bench can then be placed within the 2-meter (6.6 feet) area. The toilet can then be moved to the new shower wall and positioned opposite the washbasin.
