Hi!

What do you think about this master bathroom layout?

We didn’t really want the shower to be so hidden since we plan to outfit it in a high-quality and stylish way. It would be nice if it could be more visible, not just for showering. But during the plumbing planning, we were advised to keep it like this (because of the water pipes).

What’s your opinion? Or does anyone have an idea on how to create more visibility into the shower?

The two washbasins are marked incorrectly. We will only use one washbasin (1m wide (39 inches)). Our idea is to move the bathtub to where the washbasins are currently shown and place the washbasin on the right wall instead. We want the bathtub to have a prominent spot in the room instead of being “in the corner” when we bathe.

Currently planned components:
Toilet: Duravit Happy D.2 extended version, 25500900001

Washbasin: Villeroy & Boch Venticello 1000x500mm (39x20 inches), 4104ALR1

Bathtub: still considering either Villeroy & Boch Squaro Edge 12 Combipool Invisible (UIP190SQE2B1V96) or a Kaldewei Conoduo, both 190x90cm (75x35 inches) (235200010001)

Shower:
Villeroy & Boch shower tray Futurion or Squaro Infinity
Hansgrohe Axor ShowerSolutions thermostat module Select 530 / 90 for 3 outlets, 18356000
Hansgrohe Axor Shower Solutions 350 1jet overhead shower with ceiling connection, chrome, 26035000
Keuco meTime_spa waterfall showerhead, 59982010000
Hansgrohe Axor Starck 1jet handheld shower, chrome, 10531000

Looking forward to your feedback!

The tub as shown will be about 80 cm deep (31.5 inches) and approximately 180 to 190 cm wide (71 to 75 inches) – right? Now just imagine the space in the bathroom if the tub is placed in a T-shape.

Especially since the washbasin would then have no natural daylight.

The drawings so far are just basic sample sketches. Our bathtub will be 190 x 90 cm (75 x 35 inches).

Okay, let’s dismiss the idea of placing the bathtub in the middle. It was clear from the beginning that we can’t have a fully freestanding bathtub in this compact bathroom anyway.

So, kbt09, would you keep everything as it is in the drawings? Leave the bathtub in the corner or at least move it down a bit?

Regarding the wish for the shower, I just had an idea. The long partition wall won’t be needed at that length just for the washbasin. What if the wall were shortened to the necessary size and the shower mounted above it on the left exterior wall? That way, you would enter the shower directly from the front, reducing the partition effect somewhat.

I don’t understand what you mean... in any case, the wall also serves as a splash guard, and the shower head should be on the partition wall next to the toilet.

Could you measure the bathroom? Including the wall sections with windows? And, theoretically, could the windows be moved slightly, or would that interfere with other things? Not that I have an idea yet.

3.63 m wide (12 feet) and 4.11 m long (13.5 feet). I was able to get the measurements from the building permit/planning application. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other dimensions.

The windows could be moved but the sizes cannot be changed. From my perspective, the left window can be moved freely on the exterior. The balcony door is more limited. To assess this, I have attached a view of the rear exterior here. The bathroom balcony door is at the top right.

If that is the case, then my idea is no longer applicable. I had imagined a shower that you enter not from above but from the right side. Accordingly, the shower components would also have been on the right exterior wall.

See if rotating this might actually work better.

I have marked the original window positions with corresponding rectangles outside the walls.

Then the wall behind the bathtub could be only about 100cm (40 inches) high, and the shower could be simply separated with a glass panel mounted on top.

Although you have to walk around the bathtub to get from the toilet to the shower, it feels more spacious.

Uhm... I wouldn't want my toilet right next to the balcony door...
