Hello everyone,

we need your help with bathroom planning.

Problem 1: Guest WC

The 2.5 m² (27 ft²) small guest WC is currently not designed as a shower bathroom. However, we would like to integrate a small shower if at all possible.
The walls can no longer be changed. Only the arrangement of the plumbing connections and sanitary fixtures could be modified.
Is it even possible to integrate a small shower given the size?

Problem 2: Full Bathroom
We don’t really like the current layout of the fixtures here either but have no ideas on how to change it. We would be very grateful for any suggestions.

The question is more whether you really want to subject your guests to that. It’s possible, but not very pleasant.

Here is our guest bathroom with a shower.
It is quite practical and should definitely include a shower. This is necessary to avoid having to carry dirty guests through the entire house. In my opinion, fitting a shower into an even smaller area wouldn’t work.

The shower is 80 x 80 cm (31.5 x 31.5 inches) with a level floor and tiled throughout. Anything else would be inconvenient. A folding door on both sides makes sense as a partition wall, although it is not installed yet.

The only downside of this bathroom: my wife wanted a 101 cm (40 inches) wide door, but it would hit your knee when sitting on the toilet.

I would have the door open outward... otherwise, if someone collapses in the small room, you wouldn’t even be able to reach them.

@loxor ... have you ever showered in a 75x75 cm (30x30 inch) shower?

I had a 70x70 cm (28x28 inch) shower while on vacation: it works. It’s just an emergency shower. My husband benefited from the fact that the curtain can stretch outward.

But the beloved toilet is used every day and should be built according to current standards. What good is an occasional-use shower if the rest is absolutely unsatisfactory?
The same applies to the washbasin described below... we had a similarly small one in the terraced house. As a result, we ended up washing our hands in the kitchen.

Dimensions an incredible 36x18.
With the door opening outwards, it would look about like this with an 80 cm (31.5 inch) shower:

1.46 meters (4 ft 9.7 in) is a rough construction measurement.
That means: plaster 3-4 cm (1.2-1.6 inch)... tiles including adhesive 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inch)... so we are at about 1.40 meters (4 ft 7 in).
With a 70 cm (28 inch) shower, 70 cm (28 inch) remain for the toilet. It is 35 cm (14 inch) wide, then 17 cm (6.7 inch) on each side. Kerstin already suggested it: try cleaning yourself back there. And then Grandpa came along...

Or a pregnant friend or simply someone overweight...
I probably wouldn’t feel comfortable using your toilet then. Well.

This is a shower bathroom with 1.5 sqm (16 sq ft). Not exactly attractive, but theoretically doable. For slim people.

Here, a room is being theoretically imagined that would be a complete disaster in practice. This is in terms of actual daily use, not in the hypothetical case of a collapsing loose flap.
