Hello,
in our new build, we will have a master bathroom directly connected to the bedroom.
The current plan shows the door leading directly from the bedroom into the bathroom. However, we have been thinking it might be better to access the bathroom from the hallway instead. This way, the free wall in the bedroom without a door can still be used, and it avoids disturbance if someone is in the bathroom while the other is in the bedroom.
Do you have any ideas on the best way to arrange the bathroom in this case? Perhaps simply swapping the positions of the door and toilet? Or does anyone have other suggestions?
The bathroom is 2.50 m (8 ft 2 in) wide and 3.20 m (10 ft 6 in) long (except for the offset where the shower is marked).

Hmm, this is tricky.
I would definitely enter the bathroom through the hallway. In my view, the current layout doesn’t offer any advantages.
I would place the bathtub on the top left wall and the toilet next to it on the right. This eliminates the “bottleneck” between the bathtub corner and the shower corner.
Then position the door between the bathtub and the shower, with the hinges on the right side. While this means you have to pass through the “wet area” in front of the shower, I’d prefer this over always walking through the bedroom. Hopefully, the shower will have a door given its size, right?
With this arrangement, you will probably need to install the light switch in the hallway.

I have a suggestion to share.
This way, the toilets (children’s and parents’), the washbasin, and the shower in the children’s room would share one drain, while the shower and bathroom in the parents’ bedroom would use the second drain.
I would place the washbasin at an angle, as in my opinion, this makes the room feel more open and inviting.
The partition wall of the shower could also be built using glass blocks, which would let in more light, and they are also available in colors if you want to add some accents.
Maybe you’ll like it, or it will inspire new ideas.
Have a nice evening.

…that’s what I meant. Between the shower and the bathtub, a stylish, custom glass panel can be installed on the edge of the tub. Bathtubs come in various sizes, or you can choose the standard version under the window. Next to the toilet, add a towel holder. For a tiled shower (without a shower tray), it can even be adjusted precisely to the centimeter (about 100cm (40 inches) wide shower), fitting perfectly.
Good luck

Thanks for the great ideas!
We have now found an online bathroom planner and moved everything around and considered different options.
I’ve attached the result.
There is about 45 cm (18 inches) of space between the shower and the bathtub.
A shelf could be placed there.
Or we might choose a larger bathtub and also enlarge the shower, so that there is no gap between them.
If anyone has comments on the idea, feel free to share them ; )
