ᐅ Looking for Bathroom Design Optimization

Hello everyone,

Attached are our measurements (these are basically fixed; theoretically, we have an extra 55cm (22 inches) of space towards the bedroom, but we have planned in our dresser there ;-) ) and the question if anyone has any suggestions.

We like well:
- the walk-in shower (will be extended to 110cm (43 inches) in width)
- the space between the sink and the bathtub – currently, we have the exact opposite, and generous space for four people is a must
- the bathtub with a partial wall (not yet shown here) towards the floor-to-ceiling cabinet

Works somewhat:
- the solution with the laundry chute in the corner… it shouldn’t get wet given the distance to the shower. We don’t have much room here (except for about 15cm (6 inches) in height up to the step) as it must pass through the pantry below
- toilet arrangement… a width of 90cm (35 inches) should be enough according to the planner… of course, we would prefer it to be a bit more concealed

If you have any improvements in mind, we would be grateful; it doesn’t have to be a T-layout!

Thanks!

Hello,

you have exactly the same bathroom layout that we are also planning. A few days ago, I asked about the widths for this L-shaped solution. The model house from Rensch-Haus, the Rensch-Haus Avenio in Cologne, also has a bathroom like this and can be visited virtually.

Best regards

Hmm, how deep is the window? If it’s not floor-to-ceiling, I would consider placing the bathtub underneath it (in the corner where the toilet is now). The advantage is you can enjoy the view while bathing 🙂

Since you wouldn’t be showering in the tub (there’s already a shower for that), it works well.

Then put the shower in the corner where the bathtub is now, giving enough space in both directions to make it as large as you want. The toilet could go next to it or along the wall where the shower is currently located (possibly with a partition), and the washbasin could be placed along the left wall (where the stairs are).

Overall, this should create significantly more space in the bathroom.

I do like T-shaped layouts sometimes, but here it seems to waste space and I find the arrangement rather suboptimal (for example, the laundry chute in the shower).

Alternatively, the toilet could go under the window and the bathtub along the top wall (where the shower is now).

Hello Dan8070,
I don’t have quite as much floor area, but I have exactly the same geometric conditions (location of the door and window). How did you finally design your bathroom? Do you have any tips for me? Attached is an image of my current plan.
