we have a bathroom measuring 2.76 m x 2.76 m (9 ft 1 in x 9 ft 1 in) with
a bathtub 180 cm x 80 cm (71 in x 31 in)
a shower 90 cm x 90 cm (35 in x 35 in)
a washbasin 65 cm (26 in) wide
and a wall-hung toilet.
To the right of the entrance is a children’s room, so the toilet should not be placed there. Although the shower might be even less desirable in that position, we usually shower in the evening.
We would like to redesign the bathroom because it feels too tight with the door, and we definitely want a door 885 mm (35 in) wide. Including the frame, that is 960 mm (38 in), which becomes very tight if there is a 900 mm (35 in) shower on the left and an 800 mm (31 in) bathtub on the right. There is hardly any clearance, and walls can’t be built that precisely.
What do you think?
Thank you very much.
Best regards

The toilet must definitely remain in its current location because there is another toilet on the other side (for whatever reason).
With four units (and the toilet location almost fixed), there probably aren't many more layout options.
By swapping the shower and the sink, you would gain more space for the door. With a folding, floor-level shower, you could create a bit more room in the small bathroom.
However, by swapping them, there is a risk that the door might hit you in the back when you are standing at the sink.
I think you need to provide more information about the bathroom.
Is it a family bathroom? Children’s bathroom? Why is there a second toilet in the neighboring room? Why is it so small? How many people are expected to use the bathroom? Etc.

brokenlink23 Oct 2013 10:45With about 7.5 sq.m (80.7 sq.ft), it is not too small.
The adjacent room is a guest toilet, which is why there is a second toilet.
A total of three people are expected to use the bathroom. Since the bathroom is supposed to last about 20 years, it is a family and children’s bathroom, as the third person is yet to be born.

This reminds me of my old bathroom in a terraced house.
On one side, we had a bathtub, next to it a shower. Opposite at the front was the washbasin, and by the window the toilet.
Later, we removed the shower and arranged the washbasin countertop and bathtub diagonally (but that’s just a side note).
We have – an idea for you – broken out the door frame and installed a sliding door, which was highlighted in the hallway.
Still, you might want to consider whether two toilets are really necessary in close proximity for two people (+1). Perhaps a door between the two rooms could be an option?!

brokenlink23 Oct 2013 11:16It’s a bungalow, so both the bathroom and the guest toilet are on the ground floor. We don’t want to do without a guest toilet.
I don’t like sliding doors, and a good sliding door costs about three to four times as much as a regular door.
At the moment, I have these two options, but I’m not happy with either. Maybe a corner bathtub.
