Hello,

I am currently planning the bathroom (here, it’s called "badkamer"). Unfortunately, the bathroom has a difficult layout. There is a niche measuring 160cm (63 inches) in length and about 100cm (39 inches) in width. Would it be possible to install a walk-in shower there without flooding the bathroom when in use? 160cm (63 inches) in length seems quite short to me, as there would only be a glass partition of 110cm (43 inches). The shower entrance would be on the long side.

Or does anyone have other ideas for this bathroom? It should include a shower and one or two basins. Additionally, a radiator and possibly a cabinet for storage are needed.

Why don’t you place the washbasins at the top inside the recess, the bathtub (1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) long) directly opposite the entrance door, and the partition wall for the walk-in shower to the left of the bathtub? A length of 1.50 m (5 ft) is definitely sufficient for that.

Oh, you can even fit a bathtub and a shower! How do you come up with the 150cm (59 inches)?

Something like that.

We are currently building ourselves and have only 1.40m (55 inches) — according to the bathroom planner, that is more than enough. But keep in mind that a few centimeters will still be lost to the wall structure in front of the plumbing.

I hadn’t even considered entering the shower from the short side. Actually, everything fits your idea perfectly. So 150cm (59 inches) is enough for the shower enclosure? That’s good to know.
Thanks for your suggestion. I hadn’t thought of something like that before.
