Hello everyone,
we are currently finalizing our floor plan and are still looking for ideas on how to best design the children’s and parents’ bathrooms. How would you arrange the different elements?
Our current idea is as follows – children’s bathroom on the left, parents’ bathroom on the right:
Looking forward to your ideas! Many thanks in advance.

Our current idea is as follows – children’s bathroom on the left, parents’ bathroom on the right:
- The lower wall has a knee wall height of 2.00 m (6 ft 7 in).
- The exterior dimensions are relatively fixed; the partition walls between the children’s and parents’ bathrooms can be moved and adjusted as needed. If necessary, the wall on the far right could be shifted up to 50 cm (20 inches) further right – but we would prefer to avoid this.
- One planning goal was to have the “regular water flow” positioned as far to the left as possible, because below the right side is the dining/living area on the ground floor.
- The bathtub will be used very rarely, mostly for the children. Therefore, it has a low priority in the layout and is planned on the right side due to infrequent use. Overall, other rooms are more important to us than the bathrooms, so their sizes are relatively modest.
Looking forward to your ideas! Many thanks in advance.
I find the master bathroom very cramped. It’s not even 8 square meters (86 square feet), and you don’t have space for storage or anything similar. There is only a little space under the sink, but even that is quite limited.
Just for comparison, we have a 2-meter (6.5-foot) vanity and additional space for towels and so on. Where do you plan to store all of that—towels, hairdryer, shaver, hair straightener, cosmetics, hygiene products, and more?
The list goes on and on.
The same applies to the children’s bathroom.

Yes, it’s not very large, that’s true. In front of the master bathroom is the walk-in closet with a large wardrobe, where at least towels and similar items for the master bathroom could be stored.
A bit of additional space could be created—if it makes sense—by moving the right wall about 50cm (20 inches) to the right. Of course, this would reduce the size of the adjacent living area.
Do you find this layout acceptable? Would you do anything differently if the master bathroom were extended 50cm (20 inches) to the right?

Thanks for your questions!
- The dimension seems to have gotten lost in the screenshot. The room depth is 2.03m (6 ft 8 in).
- The doors are fixed within about +/-10cm (4 inches).
- The windows can still be planned; in the current sketch, they are placed just to match the exterior view.
- Bathtub: We don’t have children yet, so we’re not sure if they would use the bathtub ;-) We’re not big fans of bathtubs, but we think it adds a bit of charm and a sense of space to the master bathroom. If the kids want to bathe occasionally later on, we don’t mind.
I suspected from the start that the plan comes from someone without children. Most kids hate showering. The shower will probably only be used starting from primary school age at the earliest. I would plan two equivalent bathrooms which could later be used as a ladies’ bath and a men’s bath. The idea of giving children a small shower-only bathroom and reserving a wellness oasis with a bathtub that only collects dust is common but impractical. Children can more easily climb into a bathtub to shower there. In our case, I use the "children’s bathroom" to bathe only about four or five times a year.
