Hello everyone,

Our house floor plan is now basically finalized. However, we are still uncertain about the positioning of the toilet and washbasin in the kids’ bathroom.

Conditions for the kids’ bathroom:
* Size approx. 4.3 m² (46 sq ft)
* Dimensions: approx. 1.65 m (5.4 ft) x 2.6 m (8.5 ft)
* Bathroom is located in a gable, with a floor-to-ceiling window opposite the entrance door

Initially, we arranged the shower, washbasin, and toilet all along one wall on the right side of the plan. Advantage: technically simpler, possibly more straightforward; Disadvantage: toilet in front of the (floor-to-ceiling) window, the left side of the room is rather unused, and everything looks quite “lined up.”

See DraftII_OG

As an alternative, we have now planned the toilet opposite, on the left side of the plan. Advantage: toilet is away from the window; Disadvantage: we would need an additional wall-mounted installation and the waste pipe would have to be routed further to the right inside the bathroom to align with the ground floor.

See OG 5c

What do you think about these solutions? We are also considering placing the toilet diagonally at a 45-degree angle in the upper left corner as this might make better use of the space.
From your experience, what would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your replies!

The whole point of the kids' bathroom is for them to learn. And specifically in a place where the parents don’t shower :-)

Soft-close helps to keep things calm ;-)
