Bathroom planning 3.50 m x 2.86 m

Hello everyone!

Who wants to advise me on the bathroom design?

Our bathroom is 3.50 m x 2.86 m in size. If you draw it in portrait format, the walls are as follows:

- On the left is a 350 cm wall, along which runs a light strip (parapet height 132 cm) across the entire room width.
- On the right is a 350 cm wall, in which the door must be, but it can still be moved.
- Top and bottom are 286 cm walls.

The floor-to-ceiling tiled shower must be positioned on the upper room wall because of the drain, but of course not in front of the window.

Otherwise, the following objects should be placed:
- Double washbasin (130 cm x 48 cm)
- Standard size bathtub (175 cm x 75 cm)
- Toilet

At first, a T-solution occurred to us:



However, 2.86 m room width is probably too narrow for a T-solution. The passage to the shower is too narrow, and without a door to the shower, all the water splashes out, which is exactly the advantage of the T-solution—that you can do without a door.

Therefore, we modified the plan to an L-solution:



But we didn’t find that really convincing either. Currently, we are at the following solution:



where you could also swap the toilet and the bathtub, so the shower/bath area would be in the upper half of the bathroom and the toilet/washbasin area in the lower half of the room.

Do you have other ideas or suggestions?

Best regards

PS: Here is the modified solution with the swapped WC and bathtub.

I think the last option is quite good, but you will probably not be able to do without a door in front of the shower for splash protection reasons. My bathroom renovator told me that a floor-level walk-in shower should ideally be about 150 cm deep if you want to do without a door. At least, that's how I planned it in my bathroom, although I am giving up the originally installed bathtub for it.

Thank you, Frank, for your response. 286 cm wall width on the upper wall could be divided into 75 cm bathtub, 80 cm passage, and 131 cm shower area, so not quite 150 cm. Maybe a door or a shower curtain would have to be used.

I also gave it some thought: since I have a walk-in shower myself, but 2 meters deep, I remember that after about 1.50 meters there are no relevant splashes anymore. If the toilet is placed there, you have more freedom of movement in between. For bathing, I also find it more pleasant not to look at a corner of the wall.

The toilet probably still needs ventilation over the roof; therefore, I expect a boxed-in section in that corner. The free passage between the toilet and the shower will then be smaller (if the shower fittings are to be installed on the short wall, a partition wall may still be necessary).

Pro tip (own experience): It's best to plan with partition walls everywhere; if they turn out to be unnecessary later, all the better. Otherwise, you avoid surprises. How will the bathtub be drained? Can the fittings be installed in the wall? Same for the washbasin...
