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

knalltüte23 Dec 2020 23:08I believe this is what @kbt09 meant. To prevent the "pillar" from blocking the view, the shelf created there could be made entirely of glass, which would also serve as part of the shower enclosure.
That would create another wow effect ;-)
Perhaps it could also be partially frosted in a gold tone or have a film between the glass panes to make a single compartment opaque (for items you don’t want visible), finished with a gold-colored glass door. It would then appear to float in the room...
I looked at the small bathroom mentioned above. (Is it really that hard to provide a proper floor plan?)
I like the details quite a bit; whether I can implement this behind the bathtub is something I'll need to think about over the next few days...

@ypg Almost impossible to offend me with things like that :pHehe... cool... at first, I thought there was a typo in the headline, and then I saw that the question was asked by you :pI don’t want to offend you either, it’s just a shame...

The room isn’t small at about 10sqm (108 sq ft), but in my opinion, such a bathtub needs space, also visually. So I would definitely treat myself to a great bathtub, but the freestanding version wouldn’t be my choice.superzapp schrieb:
There is certainly a bit of a wow factor… that you only just realized what you want or that you’re thinking about what you want. I won’t say much about the bathroom question, but you should know that too much wow factor in a small space can quickly have the opposite effect. I’ll write more about that in the kitchen topic... I’m working hard there as well to develop the wow factor you’ve mentioned several times 😉

But I’m still a bit hesitant to commit to one like this.Funny enough, with the kitchen planner, I included a subtle gold tone in the cabinet where I was a bit unsure if that’s what one might want 🙂As a general rule, it’s best not to switch styles too much in a small space. So if you’re setting up a small apartment, the principle of “less is more” applies, and a harmonious overall color scheme works better because it makes the space feel more open.
Gold is currently a trendy color... It would be cool if you incorporated the theme into each room with one element (for example, a gold bathtub, gold handles in the kitchen). However, gold might have the opposite effect in five years because tastes can change.
I would suggest using the trendy colors more on the walls: for example, a white bathtub placed in front of a gold-colored wall, and similarly in the kitchen (instead of gold handles).
When it comes to shapes, the brain is more flexible and adaptable.

knalltüte31 Dec 2020 10:47I currently have some free time and have used it to adjust my planning. I am happy to hear other opinions and suggestions for improvement.
The only fixed elements are the walls with door and window, as well as a full-height boxed-in area at the back left to accommodate pipes for wastewater and the mechanical ventilation system to the upper floor. A bathtub is a must.
However, if a freestanding tub simply doesn’t fit well in the room, another option will have to be chosen. 😉

The spa hut is placed on the movable pool cover and simply moves along with it. This saves space but not money.Great idea, I’m confident I can build this myself. Of course, it will still cost money, but less than ready-made solutions. By the way, I have already purchased—when the opportunity arose—about 80 heavy-duty rollers and several hundred meters of Item 40x40 heavy aluminum profiles for the construction here.Similar topics
