Hello everyone,
I’m at a loss about how to plan our bathroom. It’s 220cm (87 inches) wide and 400cm (157 inches) long. Everything will definitely fit in as shown in the picture. We also want to include a double sink about 150cm (59 inches) wide.
What’s causing us headaches is the shower. We would like something easy to maintain, but it shouldn’t turn the bathroom into a long, dark corridor. That’s why a 140–150cm (55–59 inches) walk-in shower is not an option. (Because then there would only be about 70cm (28 inches) of space left between the shower and the sink, which wouldn’t leave enough room for the sink.)
Therefore, we are considering a shower with two half walls. One, facing the toilet, would be half-height with glass, and the other possibly built up to the ceiling. However, I’m not sure if 70cm (28 inches) is enough to prevent water from splashing outside. I know that a straight water spray requires about 150cm (59 inches) to keep everything dry, but how far does the water splash sideways?
Does anyone have a shower like this and can share their experience? Or does anyone have other ideas on how we could do this? The bathroom designer suggested a shower with a 120cm (47 inches) glass sliding door, but that seems like too much cleaning work for me.
Thanks very much and best regards,

Freestanding bathtubsI always find them impressive, but I wouldn’t want one... unless there were a model that looks freestanding from the front but fits tightly against the wall at the back.
Toilets used to be (and still often are) installed away from the wall, leaving all sorts of awkward parts between the wall and the bowl that are difficult to keep clean.
I also think wall-hung toilets are impractical because the mounting is too complicated and doesn’t suit the material.
A toilet should fit flush against both the wall and the floor—period.
But nobody asks me (even my own wife has a different opinion... impossible!).

A toilet should fit flush with the wall and floor – plain and simple.
But nobody asks me (even my own wife disagrees... impossible!) You probably would have felt at home in the Middle Ages. Everything solved very simply and pragmatically.

Here you can see the part with a granite corner, which I really like.

Really? My brother has an open shower with 115cm (45 inches) and says only a few individual drops splash out.

In any case, 70cm (28 inches) won’t be enough to prevent water from splashing out of the entrance. We have 110cm (43 inches), and without a floor mat, the bathroom floods extensively after showering.
