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!

Choosing the larger shower tray just because of the flow rate doesn’t make sense. What really matters is whether the corresponding drain can handle it. However, it is the responsibility of your plumber to take that into account.

Apart from that, 26 liters per minute (6.9 gallons per minute) is not unusual, so I assume that won’t be a major issue. For example, our shower channel has a drainage capacity of 41 liters per minute (10.8 gallons per minute).

The drain can handle that. I clarified this at the Reuter bathroom shop.

My main concern was that we don’t want a shower enclosure, and with a length of only 120cm (47 inches), I think water will then splash onto the tiles.

Even with 140 cm (55 inches) length, you won’t be able to avoid water splashing onto the tiles.
The “magic limit” for splash water usually lies around 160–170 cm (63–67 inches).

Ok, that would be feasible but only with a narrow entrance. Would you do that with my bathroom layout?

Oh, no double vanity after all?

The half octagonal column at the end of the shower looks out of place (and more suited for a Weberhaus style).

How far the spray reaches will hardly be reduced by narrowing the entrance, as the spray pattern is elongated and symmetrical along its axis. It could be reduced more effectively by adjusting the height and angle of the shower head.

No, it was never planned. The architect just hadn’t removed the washbasin from the planning documents yet. I’ve asked them to do that now. They initially included a double washbasin, apparently because many people want that.
