Hello everyone,

We are currently planning a new build and are a bit stuck when it comes to designing our future bathroom. We have already created or had some plans made, but none of them have really convinced us so far. Do you have any ideas?

For a rough orientation: The bathroom should include a larger washbasin, a toilet, a shower (preferably built-in or half-built), a bathtub, and ideally some space for a small shelf.

Thanks in advance!

To better control ventilation, I would prefer it to extend up to the ceiling. Ventilation via the toilet and shower.
That only gives you the illusion of control at best. When showering with hot water, steam can escape more easily if there is some opening at the top. If toilet odors bother you a lot, consider installing something like a SOG system or think about a composting toilet. This way, the odors won't even enter the room.

If that is a problem, you can simply make the window wider and/or move it. Or have two narrow ones.

To be honest, I really don’t like these (unplanned) T-layouts at all. They come with far too many disadvantages. A T-layout needs to be planned from the start so that the toilet has enough natural light, the shower has sufficient length, and the bathroom still has enough space to move around comfortably. A parallel layout (which many find rather boring) is elegant when you can define left and right sides. Here, I see three parallel arrangements and practically no free space. The bathtub is in the way, and if you look at the details and consider adding some shelves for small decorations or a basket for bath accessories—like a platform (ideally on each side)—the space will become cramped. Otherwise, the corners take up the necessary room for walking—let alone standing comfortably.

Or like this: it also works without the T. Well?

I quickly sketched this using the same measurements... The shower screen is shorter, and the seating area is quite uncomfortable. The bathtub with a length of 180cm (71 inches) hardly has any space. There is no room for a platform for sponges and brushes or a stack of towels.

What you’re sharing here is very, very interesting. The different perspectives and arguments are incredibly valuable! We will take some time to reflect and carefully review each of your suggestions.

We’re not entirely sure about the T-shaped solution either. We also recognize the issue with less-than-optimal use of space. However, we really like the look of it. And if, as suggested here, the walls were only built halfway up and completed with glass, that would at least address the concern about the lack of natural daylight. We still have reservations about whether the shower length would be sufficient, or if an additional glass door would be needed, which is something we actually wanted to avoid.
