Hello everyone,
I need your advice 🙂. We are currently planning the bathroom in a new build. I have attached the bathroom layout.
The shower area is L-shaped, measuring 160x100cm (63x39 inches). The "open wall" is 80cm (31 inches) long, and the entrance to the shower is also 80cm (31 inches).
Question: Is the 80cm (31 inches) wall length enough to prevent water splashing outside the shower area? Or would it be better to install a door?
According to a consultant at the sanitary supply store, this should be sufficient. However, I have read online that a minimum length of 120-140cm (47-55 inches) is recommended.
P.S.: The thick wall between the toilet and shower likely contains the service shaft.

The corner will probably be quite dark, likely darker than ours. On the other hand, you don’t usually stay in the shower to enjoy the view. We have a spotlight in the shower, which should be enough. People tend to use the toilet more often than the shower, if anyone ever considered swapping the shower and toilet around 😉
Thank you all for your many tips. We will take a few days to consider and make a decision.
In parallel, I have started another thread about planning the guest bathroom.

I would also appreciate your valuable feedback there 🙂

Without a door, there is a draft while showering (cool breeze).
Water also splashes out even if the wall is 1.5 meters (5 feet) long.

It’s already like that here, so what are you referring to?
Besides, the bathroom has long been built!

This is how it is here, what are you referring to?
Besides, the bathroom has long since been completed! Ah, I hadn’t noticed that this is from October 2022. 🤨
