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?

knalltüte27 Jul 2020 21:43I’m especially pleased to have the approval from both of you @ypg and @Pinky0301, as I could recognize genuine expertise from the previous posts.
Now I have almost the same problem in the bathroom on the upper floor. The dimensions are exactly the same, but here they can’t be changed (because of the size and position of the dormer).
This unit is going to be rented out, so at least one machine should fit in here, but I’m leaning toward planning for two. There’s no space in the utility room; it’s too small.
So far, I’m not really happy with the layout. The hose routing caused by the machines and the shower is annoying, right in front of the window.
The door position is still flexible (it could move about 80cm (31 inches) to the left).
The window position is also flexible. Everything is possible here.
Does anyone have suggestions for improvements?
The pre-wall installation elements are located where I need to run the pipes down as well (at the correct spots directly above those on the ground floor).

knalltüte27 Jul 2020 22:01Well, now we are on the upper floor. The small heat pump wouldn’t support a second bathtub either.
I wouldn’t allocate the best spot, meaning the one next to the window, to the machines. They don’t necessarily have to be placed side by side, right? If you only provide space for one unit (about 60cm (24 inches)), the tenant can still have two appliances and stack them.
How large is the dormer? Is it as big as the room, or is there a sloping roof somewhere?
Having the toilet right by the door isn’t ideal (otherwise I would move the sink to the window), but you could place the toilet between the sink and the window. Then put the washing machine by the door and possibly the dryer on top of it, if desired.
