Hi!

We would really appreciate some quick ideas, as we can only present a new proposal later this week.

Unfortunately, we only noticed quite late that the developer planned a relatively short glass partition for the open shower (about 85cm (33 inches)). Now we’re a bit worried about frequent water splashes throughout half of the bathroom.

The bathroom is only 10 m² (108 sq ft) in size, measuring 2.85 x 3.55 m (9.4 x 11.6 ft). As shown in the sketch, we have two windows, which don’t exactly make the planning easier. The bathtub will be 180 x 80 cm (71 x 31 inches) and the vanity with double sinks will be 120–140 cm (47–55 inches) wide.

I already looked it up and found references to these so-called “T-walls.” However, I can’t find any practical ideas on how they could be planned in this case.

Do you have any suggestions, or is the concern about the shower partition unnecessary?

Best regards & thanks for your help!

Is this always the same thread, or is everyone currently building houses with small bathrooms and open showers?
I would rotate the bathtub – shower similar to the current layout, just possibly a bit longer. Then place the toilet against the vanity frame.

Hehe... that’s quite possible.

I had the same idea, but unfortunately the shower only "grows" by a maximum of 20cm (8 inches) in length.

By the way, the shower tray installed there is a 90x90cm (36x36 inches) Superplan.

We also have them in 1 m x 1 m (3 ft 3 in x 3 ft 3 in) and 90 cm x 120 cm (35 in x 47 in). There aren’t many other options, though – the bathroom is just a normal size (I’m deliberately not saying "small").

Hello,
usually, I’m not really a fan of corner bathtubs. But somehow, I had the idea that it might fit quite well in your space:

As the bathtub is positioned now, you look towards the toilet and against the wall. I would rather arrange it like with the corner bathtub or, alternatively, place a regular bathtub behind the shower. Between the sink and the toilet, I would also plan a small partition wall.
