C.beckmann198624 May 2020 20:17Hello everyone,
we are currently in the middle of building our house (buying from a developer) and are stuck with the bathroom planning.
At first, we wanted to keep the original room layout, but we had the following special requests:
- Walk-in shower 90x90cm (35x35 inches)
- Shower bar, etc., installed flush with the wall, including a rain showerhead
- Bathtub 180x80cm (71x31 inches)
Apparently, this makes the passage between the bathtub edge and the shower enclosure too narrow.
Today, some friends suggested possibly rearranging the bathroom layout, for example placing the bathtub in front of the window.
Do you have any suggestions on how to design the layout? That would be really helpful.
I have attached the floor plan.
Thanks in advance!

Supposedly, the gap between the edge of the bathtub and the shower enclosure then becomes too narrow. I can’t agree with that, it’s actually perfect!

C.beckmann198627 May 2020 08:25I thought so too, but the extra 10cm (4 inches) have not been installed yet. The standard was an 80x80cm (31x31 inches) shower and a 170x70cm (67x28 inches) bathtub. That’s why I’m asking you.
I would probably rearrange the bathroom as well, especially if the plan hasn’t been finalized yet. Personally, I would always opt for a shower that is at least 100x100 cm (39x39 inches) because it’s simply more comfortable. An 80x80 cm (31x31 inches) shower is really not sufficient, at least if you are taller than 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in). A 90x90 cm (35x35 inches) shower might be okay, but 100x100 cm (39x39 inches) or larger would always be my choice.
As for the layout, how about:
- Turning the bathtub so it’s placed under the window (which direction do you want to look out of the window?)
- In the bottom left corner that’s created, you could build some shelves or place a bathroom cabinet
- Keep the shower in the corner (possibly extend to 90x100 cm (35x39 inches) with folding doors?)
- Put the toilet where the sink currently is, or on the left side
- Arrange the sink accordingly
This could be one option, but it really needs to be drawn out! One way to explore options is by cutting out paper shapes of each fixture and then “puzzle” them around to find a good arrangement.

C.beckmann198610 Jun 2020 20:31Sorry for the late reply, I currently have many appointments happening all at once.
In principle, it doesn’t sound bad at all. What would you think about mirroring the bathtub and the sink/toilet? That way, both would be next to each other, but the passageway would naturally be much wider.
If I calculated correctly and kept a 90cm (35 inch) shower and a 180cm (71 inch) bathtub, the passage with a fixed shower enclosure would only be 60cm (24 inch).
This could only be increased using folding doors, especially since the shower is flush with the floor.
So many questions.
