ᐅ Redesign of bathroom and bedroom. Room sizes are still slightly flexible.

Hello,

Apparently, I have desires that at least I can’t quite translate into a proper plan ops:

My bathroom on the ground floor has the party wall on the left side. This wall must not be channeled! Therefore, if any elements are planned there, they must be incorporated with a suitable pre-wall system.

My wishes: Freestanding bathtub approximately 170–175 x 75cm (67–69 x 30 inches), walk-in shower preferably 100 x 140cm (39 x 55 inches) or slightly larger, a washbasin about 60cm (24 inches) wide (with countertop basin plus vanity cabinet with drawer), and a mirror cabinet above it.

A toilet with enough space to optionally add grab bars later. I would like to reserve space at least for an electric wall-mounted heater.

In the bedroom, I don’t have many wishes: a bed measuring 140 x 210cm (55 x 83 inches), a wardrobe plus a chest of drawers must fit in — that’s it. (For me, the bedroom is like a hotel room during vacation, quite “unimportant,” since I’m there just to sleep and store some clothes.)

I’m slowly getting the impression that there might not be enough space in the bathroom for the freestanding tub. Therefore, I’m willing to give up a bit of space in the bedroom if possible. The partition wall between the two rooms is still flexible, which could also help ease the tight door situation to the storage room a bit.

Does anyone have any good ideas for me?

Layout: Bathroom 9.64 m2 (104 sq ft), Bedroom 12.82 m2 (138 sq ft), Storage 3.14 m2 (34 sq ft), Hall-Wardrobe 2.98 m2 (32 sq ft), Staircase on the right.

I don’t agree with that. But if you have plan B, then everything’s fine.

Well, others have already told me about the size of the bed and bedroom. But they don’t live with me and don’t know my personal habits as well as I do.

Something like this? (just need the bathtub to be more “attractive”)

Floor plan of a bathroom: bathtub at the top, toilet on the left, sink on the right, door at the bottom right.

I’m not entirely sure if it’s a good idea to place the glass wall right in the middle of the walkway; I would prefer it at the end of the room, also because you could potentially walk along the edge there. In addition, the shower ends directly at the door or the access is there, which I wouldn’t like as much. However, the bathtub under the window looks nice.

If the bathtub is moved further to the right into the corner, the shower should fit next to it, right?

No, we have 160cm (63 inches), which is enough. But if one of us gets a bit sick, then there should be two mattresses, for example. You shouldn’t skimp on bed rest because sleep is important. And the fun mentioned is not something you want all the time and forever in the shower or at the kitchen table, but also in the bedroom.
The layout of the bedroom is great, and I wouldn’t change it—especially if another little one is going to move in. The closet space is invaluable.
The bathroom is too small. In my opinion, your little dream really needs 6 square meters (65 square feet) to be a dream.
I would also choose a semi-open or an asymmetrical egg-shaped bathtub—that’s something you can live with—and it’s actually better suited for bathing.
