Bathroom planning - Is the splash guard wall of the walk-in shower long enough?

Thank you for the many responses!

Reducing the passage to the shower to 70 cm is a good tip.

We actually also thought about swapping the bathtub and the sink for a long time; with the sink on the entrance side, it naturally looks a bit less cramped. Since the tub is not that high, however, we thought it still wouldn’t look too cramped. We were concerned that when washing hands at the front sink, the door might get in the way if a second person enters the bathroom. That was ultimately the deciding factor to move the sinks to the back. Another advantage of having the bathtub by the entrance is that there is more of an entrance area up front and the "real bathroom" is then at the back.

However, regarding the arrangement, we are not set in stone, and if you find it more sensible differently, we are open to being convinced :)

To avoid having to look at yourself in the mirror while sitting on the toilet, we could swap the toilet and bidet.

I would make complete changes on the upper floor. The hallway is very small, making it feel very oppressive. The "gained" 1.5 sqm in the children's room do not benefit the room at all and are thus wasted. Therefore: widen the hallway to about 130 and do without the entrance bump in the children's room. Then rearrange the bathroom again.

Layman here. Shouldn't the walls of a walk-in shower (without a door) be at least 1.4m long? According to some guideline. At least that's what our general contractor told us. And I'm glad that our wall is 1.4m long. Otherwise, everything would splash across the room!

I have often read about a minimum length of 1.2-1.4m, but I have always interpreted it as applying to showers where the short side has no wall. In my case, it is the long side, for which I unfortunately have not found any information on the internet and therefore started this thread :)

: we have already discussed that as well and accepted the narrow hallway as a compromise so that the other rooms are nice and big (we don't find a small entrance area in the children's room, where you can, for example, put down the school bag or hang up jackets, to be unnecessary). However, the hallway hopefully won't be that narrow because we will have an open staircase and the hallway will therefore appear visually larger.

I measured again and between the door and the left sink there would be only 30 cm with 's suggestion. The door would inevitably hit the person standing there. Don't you also find it more reasonable to leave the bathtub at the front? And to avoid seeing oneself so much in the mirror, just swap the toilet and bidet.

I also wouldn't put the sink next to the door. The sink is often used. This way, you block family members and it's also not pleasant for the user to always have to make space. If you are not mistaken about the "small" and open storage area: you take the school bag to the workplace, jacket to the wardrobe. Personally, I like to stick to that and not take street clothes upstairs ;) But if you think differently, then do it that way. However, then you have to live with the bathroom layout. A bathtub in the entrance area, where you can't get any peace, is also not exactly ideal.
