Looking for inspiration for bathroom planning

Standing in the room/path is actually not an issue for me, normally no one comes into the bathroom when I bathe, and if they do, it's only to deliver drinks or snacks, which is very welcome. :) But there's no pass-through traffic in the bathroom. I have a tub here that looks into a corner niche, which I don't think is bad, but it's a bit dark. But better than looking at the toilet. I don't know why, but I don't like that. I would prefer to look out the window; in the new house we would have a great view from the window.

In our case, the architect had drawn the bathtub facing the window (basically the faucet/drain under the window) and I liked that at first. But then when I looked at our current bathroom, I noticed that what bothers me most during the admittedly very rare bathing is that I lie with my back to the door and thus can't see it. Even though I know no one will come in, I can't really relax. That's definitely something evolutionary. So we turned it around, or rather placed the faucet coming from the wall in the middle, and decided on a built-in tub instead of a half freestanding one, with a wide ledge you can also sit on when the kids are bathing. Or put the gin and tonic down when the parents are bathing ;) And for reading, it’s also nice when the light from the window comes from behind.

I have to admit that I can actually relax better in a dark cave (shielded toilet) than right next to a window... although when reading to relax, a window is very practical again.... ;) In principle, I just find these half-high privacy screens ugly, and therefore that would not be an option for me. If separated, then all the way up to the ceiling. But in your case, that would be somewhere in the back in the dark corner. Maybe you could pimp it with nice spotlights or LED strips. The latter also applies to a shower with three walls. I would not take only two. The water will spread quite a bit in a smaller bathroom. I wouldn’t want to mop half the bathroom every time. I would place the tub by the window. And not a freestanding one, but at least partially built-in (for shelves for cocktails, candles, and the like). However, if you want to enjoy the view there, a half-high opaque window, as mentioned above, is still useless. You also can’t look out anymore. I don’t think your first design above is bad at all. Only I would change the position of the tub and the washbasin. Have you thought about moving the toilet and shower downwards (maybe rotating the toilet 90 degrees)? The washbasin could then go to the front side of the T (where the tub is now) or to the side wall of the shower, and the tub would go in front of the window (possibly as a corner tub at the top left). Then there would still be enough space on the wall on the left for a shelf or something similar.

Shower with only 2 walls, I hadn’t even thought of that :O That would of course be cool and bright, you’d get daylight but wouldn’t be dancing right in front of the window. But won’t it get very wet in the bathroom? We currently have 3.5 walls around the shower, so everything tiled and only a 60cm entrance in front. That keeps the bathroom dry. But with only 2 walls. I find it equally cool and scary. :D

I wouldn’t do that either, the bathroom gets wet. We have a shower 1.20 m wide and no glass wall in the first 4 weeks yet. I had to wipe about 1 m further every time.
I think a glass wall is great, it gives light but still protects.

I like the design in post 3, but I would swap the washbasin and bathtub because you need to access the washbasin more often. And then install a nice corner bathtub. There is plenty of space. Then you can look out of the window and towards the door.

Replace the washbasin with the bathtub and the toilet with the shower?!

In my opinion, the washbasin should always be placed close to the door, as it is also used occasionally for washing hands, etc. The shower (with glass panel) in the bottom corner (right side of the plan) can be designed to be any length. The only drawback would be the toilet next to the bathtub, but you wouldn't even see it when enjoying the view towards the window :)

Are there any evolutionary reasons or something for that? I almost always see toilets by the window.

I did provide the explanation!
You go to the toilet a few times a day… so always switching on the light is a) nonsense b) not economical and thus you can, without feeling for the roll and looking into the clean toilet afterwards, _with_ window. Unlike showering, on average once a day. And the shadow, even through frosted windows, gives a peepshow for outsiders.

Standing in the room/path is actually not an issue for me,

The room/path is also relative and felt. Feng Shui does not forbid placing furniture in the middle of a room for nothing.
Your child will sooner or later not consider you when they urgently need to defecate. Stopping or redirecting to the toilet on the stairs is also not good advice. But everyone has to decide for themselves. I am not a fan of toilets if the room then consists only of corridors.

But better than looking at the toilet.

The toilets from the nice design series look good and with the lid in use often serve as storage surfaces.

I would put the bathtub by the window.

If you have other options, then exactly not that. Windows need cleaning, and that is only possible if you stand in the bathtub.

There are good reasons why a classic arrangement is still the most beautiful in the long run.

I am not a fan of T anyway, when the room then consists only of corridors.

I also find T bathrooms with countless walls terrible, as they always remind me of rat mazes in research. And you wind through the room in a strange way. My brother just reduced his walk-in shower to 1 meter in length and fitted it with a glass door. Otherwise, his wife freezes while showering and had already installed a shower curtain. I had to resist my "told ya so!" very hard.
