My two bathrooms are "basically" already planned.
However, while walking through the construction site, some fresh ideas came up.
At the moment, I still have quite a bit of freedom to redesign, although walls, doors, and some small details are naturally already fixed.
Here is the ground floor bathroom (for personal use) as I have planned it:
The position of the shower is already fixed, or rather the full-height pre-wall element, since wastewater and the mechanical ventilation system for indoor air have to run from above through it. The shower is to be enclosed on three sides by about 2m (6.5 feet) high glass panels, approximately 130-140cm (51-55 inches) deep, without a door or curtain.
My wish for a freestanding bathtub hasn’t yet been graphically implemented in a way I find visually appealing. But then the idea came up to place the washbasin on a T-shaped element next to the toilet and position the bathtub diagonally in the corner on the right. Problem: It could get a bit tight next to the toilet, or you might be partially blocking the doorway while standing at the washbasin. Does anyone have a better idea? My desired bathtub (haven’t tried sitting in it yet) would be a real eye-catcher like, for example, this one
One reason: I would probably enjoy the look every time I enter the bathroom. And it would surely create a wow effect for guests (I don’t have a separate guest toilet). And if others enjoy it, so do I 😎
But I’m still a bit nervous about committing to one like this. Just for your information: A bathtub is essential for me (also for medical reasons).
@ypg Hardly possible to step on my toes with such things :p

In the bedroom... for example 😀...just plenty of space around it.... a stylish wooden bathtub would also be nice, although it also requires space. I see space as a "problem" for freestanding bathtubs. Maybe better to have a "tinas calientes" outside 😀I’m not sure what else could be changed if you really want to. But if it’s going to be a freestanding bathtub, I would plan as follows:
- Shower in the front left, with drywall walls up to the ceiling forming a recessed shelf niche. The area facing the shower can be tiled with very large-format tiles, which I would also use on the shower walls. Within the drywall, either a stainless steel shelf or an integrated shelf for shampoo and similar items. In this example, a glass partition about 80 cm wide (31.5 inches) towards the top of the layout. The entrance to the shower on the right is approximately 70 cm wide (27.5 inches). On this drywall, a towel radiator with a low profile, preferably with exposed bars facing downward in the plan.
- Washbasin remains 1 m wide (39.4 inches), positioned in front of a maximum 20 cm deep (7.9 inches) and about 110 cm high (43.3 inches) half wall.
- Toilet placed next to the washbasin.
- A wide mirror above the half wall.
- The bathtub set slightly angled into the niche. When seated with the head towards the bottom of the plan, you can look out the window.

knalltüte23 Dec 2020 21:02Hello, thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the spot where the shower is currently planned is already designated for a pre-wall installation element with a depth of about 22cm (9 inches) that must be mounted (the upstairs shower is planned above, and above that is the dormer where the ventilation is already installed). Also, the controlled mechanical ventilation ducts from the utility room to the upper floor have to run exactly at that location. Unfortunately, there is no alternative option for this.
A similar diagonal arrangement would have been my preferred option as well, but on the right side. The shower would then remain in the upper left as originally planned. The toilet would be in the front left, next to it a half-height drywall partition, and then the sink (arranged differently than planned) so it does not block the view of the bathtub.

hampshire23 Dec 2020 21:17If you don’t design the shower area as a square, you can harmonize the glass panel and bathtub—or even leave one out entirely. You can also continue the shape of the bathtub into the corner behind it by building a curved mosaic-tiled wall, which could include storage space for bath items and some lighting. In such a niche, a freestanding bathtub can also be showcased very well. I saw a picture on Raumfabrik of a very small bathroom with a well-highlighted freestanding bathtub and a correspondingly shaped wall. Perhaps a source of inspiration.

We opted out of a bathtub, instead having a very spacious shower in the bathroom and a covered Softub on the upper terrace in the garden. No neighbors can see it, and we enjoy the view.
from the bathtub into the pool? Or the bathtub into the pool?

knalltüte23 Dec 2020 21:46Well, unfortunately the garden space will be very limited. There is a picture of it in my "kitchen thread." Here it is again... But the garden design is not yet finalized...
The pool is being built for medical reasons as well as for enjoyment, of course.

hampshire23 Dec 2020 21:52I like it. It looks like a spa cabin by the pool. Bathtub space?
