Looking for bathroom optimization

Little tip: Villeroy & Boch offers a good online bathroom planner. You can play around with it a bit and visualize everything in 3D.

Thanks for the hint, we will take a look!

With you, Nicole, I’m always afraid before I read your answer.. You have already caused me some sleepless hours with various feedbacks. ;-) But that is absolutely not meant badly; I think it’s great that you write what you think... that’s how it should be in a forum. :-)

Okay, so:
Width of toilet shell construction 1.05,
Depth of shower shell construction 1.55 up to the passageway

Space requirement for the cupboard then depends on the size of the bathtub for us... we have sanitary sampling in 2 weeks. Then left and right a shelf (tile width... about 30 cm), then the wall construction floor-to-ceiling, then the cupboard from the carpenter into the remaining niche. That is our plan.

Oops.... But not Nicole... Yvonne :) And I’ll take that as a compliment ;)

The length of the shower can vary a bit, as can the passageway, but the width should not be planned smaller. We have a shell construction measurement of one meter, but that is still enough. Therefore, definitely sketch it out!

With you, Nicole, I always feel afraid before I read your answer..

You probably mean Yvonne ;)

Our general contractor thinks it should be at least 150-160 shower depth so that with rain showers, everything in front doesn't get sprayed full.

Correct.

The partition wall should be floor-to-ceiling towards the washbasins; towards the toilet about 220 cm.

Why not just 2.20m in total?

Width of toilet rough construction 1.05,

That is definitely enough.

How do I even come up with Nicole?!? :rolleyes:
Of course Yvonne...

Then we will let the planner incorporate your suggestions and steal 5-10 cm in depth from the shower and give it to the toilet.
We would find a width of 110 good, since we have the space between the washbasin and the washing machine.

Good question about the 2.20 m partial wall instead of floor-to-ceiling... Where do you see the pros and cons? Purely aesthetic? Between the shower and the toilet it's clear, there needs to be something open because of moisture.

We would already like a width of 110, since we have the space between the WB and BW.

So we have the shower with a width of 1m and are very satisfied with it. You always stand centered in it anyway.
When considering the width of the wall, you should also take into account the planned washbasin. For example, we have a basin with a width of 1.30m. Next to it, there should be a towel rail on each side, so the washbasin wall should be at least 1.60-1.70m. But that should be the case with a shower depth of 1.60m.

Good question about the 2.20m partial wall instead of ceiling-high... Where do you see the pros and cons? Purely optical? It’s clear that between the shower and toilet something has to be open because of moisture.

We went completely with 2.20m. Then the electrician can also install a normal socket on the other side.
In my opinion, besides air circulation, advantages are also the light coming into the shower. Although we still turn on the light during the day when we go into the shower, it also makes entering the bathroom feel friendlier when the shower isn’t a dark hole :)
