Consultation: New bathroom, 5.9 sqm with bathtub

The solution to go into the slope is very good.
At that time, we renovated a ERH and also the tiny bathroom (2.20 x 2.50). Instead of a shower and a tub, we chose an egg-shaped tub (also because of the window opposite the door) and as a counterpart, diagonally opposite, a washbasin on a curved top that continued the shape of the tub so that there was space to walk through.
I’m attaching a picture for you, which also shows our tub from back then. The length at the upper part was 90, and it then extended to 100 cm.
The great thing: it becomes very spacious and, for me, is the optimal insider tip for bathrooms that are too small.
1st rule: Decide either on a straight variant or a curved one. So the design applies to all elements.
2nd rule: Make sure that where you stand, the lying area in the tub is not ergonomically sloped, because then you can’t stand.
3rd rule: Consider platforms for placing things and built walls. A tub can stand directly against the wall but does not have to.

By the way, in our current new house, we only have a shower downstairs and only a tub upstairs, and it hardly makes any difference where you shower.
However, I don’t understand the change with you now: kids can still best make use of a tub, whether for bathing or showering. Why do you spoil the children by not having to go?

Option for the tub bathroom: move the toilet forward under the window and make space for the comfort shower.

Hello everyone,

Wow, I’m surprised how quickly and how many responses I received.
Thank you!

The first idea of simply keeping the shower and additionally installing a bathtub is not bad at all.
I have planned it that way now.

Admittedly, it will probably only fit with a classic tub that is max 70cm wide.

Since we have 2 small children and are planning another one, a bathtub in the house is unavoidable.
Even though we hardly ever bathe ourselves, I believe that a bathtub should be present in the house.

I will provide a plan for the upstairs bathroom later. The room dimensions are very similar. Here we will work with a 140cm open shower.
When I shower, I usually get ready for work right after (even though currently it’s only home office ;-) ).
That means: blow drying hair, brushing teeth, etc. all belong to it. But I would rather not have all my toiletries standing in the ground floor bathroom, which is also used by visitors.

I also believe that a bathtub can/will facilitate the sale of the property.

I’m curious to hear your feedback.
What do you think about a 50cm passage?
Do you see any other options?
Putting the toilet under the window won’t work. We have a classic window there that starts quite low.

I have attached a photo of our current bathroom.

If the bathtub is placed under the window, then the toilet will also have more space

The real estate market is very tight. For every reasonable – and increasingly unreasonable – property, there are several interested parties, and financing such an investment is becoming more difficult. Even here in the countryside, I had to notice that. If a property were then rejected because of a missing bathtub, I would question the situation on the real estate market, although of course it depends on the buyer (target group).
(and this has nothing to do with us parting ways with the bathtub! :) )

If the bathtub is under the window, then the toilet also has more space

Why not put the toilet on the right side and the bathtub completely in the niche? Then there might possibly be space for a double sink.

The starting point would probably be quite tight with a double sink (but they also come in 120 cm width) :(

Something like this:

Otherwise, I would place a (built-in) cabinet in the niche in the original design.

or like this:
