After reading here for a while, I now need some help. We are currently building, and things are getting more serious – decisions need to be made. We have planned for 2 bathrooms in our house. Our family consists of 5 people – 2 adults and 3 girls. One bathroom is intended as the master bathroom, but due to its proximity to child 3’s room, it will likely be used by her as well. The second bathroom is located between two children’s bedrooms and will be the kids’ bathroom.
Both bathrooms have wastewater connections on both sides, so according to the architect, we can design the bathrooms however we want. The doors can also still be changed.
The dimensions of the master bathroom are 3.50 x 3.30 meters (11.5 x 10.8 feet).
The dimensions of the children’s bathroom are 3.50 x 1.70 meters (11.5 x 5.6 feet), so it is quite narrow.
For the master bathroom, we are considering a T-layout. But how practical is that in 10 years? We definitely want a large shower and a concealed toilet.
I have made a few plans and hope for active feedback from you. After all, a bathroom is not something you replace every few years. The fixtures shown are only placeholders.

Hello
I am not a fan of T-shaped solutions because, in my opinion, they make the bathroom appear smaller than it actually is. I really like the first option for the master bathroom. Spacious, open, and practical.
The kids' bathroom of course doesn’t allow for much flexibility. First of all, I would paint the WC wall. It’s completely unnecessary. If I want privacy, I just lock the door; then it doesn’t feel so cramped anymore.

Hello,
I also find the first option for the parent bathroom and the second option for the children's bathroom the nicest. It will be spacious, the sinks are close to the door, and everything is well arranged.
I would also paint the wall near the toilet in the children's bathroom, as it breaks up the space a lot... If you move the toilet to where the shower is now and have a glass shower in front instead. (However, you would lose quite a bit of space this way)

For the master bathroom, definitely version 1, but for the kids’ bathroom, I’m not convinced by either option.
What I find problematic in both versions is the size of the shower entry. In both layouts, it looks like there is only about 50 to 70 cm (20 to 28 inches) of space, which would bother me because it’s the exact opposite of spacious. Or rather, it would be annoying every day.

Thank you for your opinions. The children’s bathroom is really difficult. So far, I don’t really like any of the options either.
I’ve been thinking about it again and have come up with a solution that I quite like, but I’m not sure if it will actually work: Is it possible to install a sink in front of the window? If so, how high should the window sill be? A small corner mirror cabinet could then be placed in the corner. The passage to the shower is about 80cm (31.5 inches), and the passage to the toilet would be about 90-100cm (35-39 inches).
For the master bathroom, I’m leaning towards the first option as well. Although I usually like the T-layout, I think the bathroom is too small for that and it feels a bit cramped. I’m not one to force something just for the sake of it.
