Hello,

we are still in the planning phase of the floor plan, so we remain fully flexible regarding doors, windows, and plumbing.

I would like to hear your opinions on our idea for the bathroom layout, as we are still quite uncertain ourselves.

We are aware that, due to the two doors and the laundry chute, there is very little storage space available, but we want to use the bench under the window as additional storage. The entrance to the shower is only 70cm (28 inches) wide, which is quite small but sufficient for us.

We imagine a very large vanity with vessel sinks and built-in (concealed) faucets. For vanities 160cm (63 inches) or longer, I have only found the Villeroy & Boch Legato vanity cabinet so far. What are your thoughts and recommendations on this idea?
Similarly, we want faucets that are less sensitive to water spots, which is why we prefer built-in (concealed) faucets. Do you have any opinions on that?

Hm ... everything without sloped ceilings?

Is the dark spot on the left a staircase? If so, the connection there might not fit perfectly, and maybe the door doesn’t fit as shown.

The toilet and the laundry chute right next to it might make the WC area cramped, while there’s a big open space in the middle.

For under-sink cabinets … it’s worth checking with the kitchen supplier. They can offer a lot of options, and combined with, for example, Corian countertops, the result can look very good.

Could you please share the complete floor plan including the ground floor (drainage question), or is the house already under construction?

Yes, that is a staircase, and the door arrangement should actually work.

It’s true that the corner is very tight. But what alternative would there be for positioning the toilet and the laundry chute?

A Corian countertop is a good idea. However, the lady of the house is concerned that if there is no continuous bathroom vanity, it might look too fragmented. Since we have hardly any cabinets, it would probably be hard to tell whether the toilet matches the vanity cabinet.

The house is not yet under construction; the floor plans are still very flexible. However, the staircase layout has already been approved by the builder.

Hmm, then why aren’t there any professional drawings? 😉

What do the dashed lines in the upper floor bathroom mean?


Is the upper floor a full story? If not, how is the roof positioned... probably in a way that you might not even be able to step out of the shower.

Also, the bathroom door only fits if it overlaps with the staircase through the upper floor’s floor structure. You have to pay close attention to the heights. Otherwise, a tall person could hit their head on the edge when going down the stairs.

The walk-in closet doesn’t really offer much wardrobe space.

The dashed lines indicated additional measurements.
It is a full story.
The height at the second step is 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in), which should be sufficient.
If the closet space in the dressing room is not enough, you could also place a dresser in the bedroom.
