Consultation: New bathroom, 5.9 sqm with bathtub

For me, option 3 or 4. Or bathtub like 8 and the rest like 3 :) 50 cm are, in my opinion, very little. We have about 75 cm between the washbasin and shower wall and it is not spacious.

@lbdk

I have transferred your two sketches into the tool (10 and 11). Unfortunately, your second plan does not fit the dimensions.

10: I will think about it later, but it is a good idea, thanks!
11: In the 3D view, the toilet stands very much in the room and unfortunately the window can no longer be opened.


Option 4 is unfortunately not possible for the reasons mentioned (my wife ;-) ).
Option 3: Would offer the most space, but we would have to shower in the bathtub. The splash guard would then be attached either at the bottom (2 panels) or at the top (1 panel).

Option 8+3: That corresponds to options 1+2 if I understand you correctly ;-)

I didn't know that better options come from quantity. There isn't as much drawing as you do.

Toilet on the right side, directly at the entrance.

Which labyrinths should the feces take? Short paths to the downpipe, that's the motto.

Do you think the 50cm passage in my graphic above would be sufficient?

No, trip hazard. And quite uncomfortable to poop with your back to the door.

Man, I'm surprised how fast and how many answers I get.

Do you see any other ways?

If you respond to our answers, sure. Some input on answers would be good.

All right, I will address all statements and questions:

[*]Removing the bathtub: Not an option for us because we have small children and are planning to have more. In my opinion, a bathtub is a must here.
[*]I hold the view that if the bathtub is hardly or almost only used by the children, there should be at least one bathtub in the house. Gladly a small one if it is only used rarely. I can also understand the idea of completely getting rid of a bathtub. But because of the children, we have a different idea.
[*]Dryer, washing machine, etc. are all in our utility room.

:

Door opening outwards:

[*]Good approach. I will also discuss this with the government today.
[*]This way, you definitely have more room in the bathroom.
[*]On the other hand, I see a slight risk that someone (possibly a child) may be knocked away from the door when someone comes out of the toilet. If the door opens inward (into the bathroom), it is less bad, as the door is usually closed when occupied.

Prefer shower instead of bathtub

[*]Apparently it is a matter of belief. I don't think the property value decreases if there is no bathtub. But I can imagine that it might be an issue for young families.
[*]But for our case: We have a shower on the upper floor that is used 99% of the time. In exceptional cases or when the girls get older and spend more time in the bathroom, an alternative for showering on the ground floor would be nice. However, the shower on the ground floor is not absolutely necessary. A small shower is sufficient there, as it is only the “second shower.” Much more important is that we have a bathtub on the ground floor. Hence the thought:
[*]Combining shower + bathtub (by using a splash guard in the bathtub)
[*]Shower + bathtub separate
[*]Or only bathtub
[*]Only shower is out of the question

[*]Thanks for the bids. I currently prefer solution 12.
[*]Bid 1: For us, it is probably a straightforward solution. Do you know washbasins that also have a shape as drawn? Unfortunately, the ones I find are always rounded.
[*]Bid 2: Thanks a lot for the tip! I probably wouldn't have noticed that!
[*]Bid 3: Yes, we plan 10 cm of storage in front of or behind the bathtub. In the wall, we want to install an illuminated storage area.

Bathtub in the niche: As already mentioned, this is not an option.

[*]Difficult to clean
[*]Children hard to reach while bathing
[*]Window is difficult to open

I hope I have addressed everything sufficiently.

I favor the new solution 12. Why:

[*]The bathroom remains open and gets enough light from outside.
[*]There are no tight spaces where you have to squeeze through.
[*]Shower + bathtub are rarely used and are placed at the very back – washbasin + toilet are used most often and are right at the entrance.
[*]A 1-meter long washbasin is possible and all devices fit into the room without squeezing.

Definitely an outward-opening door (since it is not used constantly and has advantages if someone collapses in the bathroom, they will not lock the door because it can be opened outward), then in version 12a the toilet can also be moved a bit further downwards according to the plan and there is no need for a corner bathtub, which is much too tight in the direction of the shower/window, but a space-saving tub can be used.

Thank you very much for your suggestion.
During the free Christmas days, we created a newly considered and now prioritized sketch.
We will change the bathroom door and have it open into the hallway, thanks for the tip ypg.

The triangle is meant to represent a washbasin.
Here I have only found straight and increasingly narrower washbasins from the manufacturer Polypex or Ego.
Model: EGO WT 100 re.

Access to the shower should be sufficient this way and meet all wishes.
What do you think?
