Renovation tips for a very small bathroom with a shower instead of a bathtub

Yes, but 60cm won't be enough. A compact floor-standing toilet is still half a meter deep. A usable shower should have at least 70cm width. Ergo, 37cm passage remains. That is too narrow.

In the design by , the toilet would definitely have to be mounted under the window and the shower would need to have the entrance somehow in the front half. The shower tray could be about 120cm deep, so it might work with a 60cm door/sliding element.

I also considered putting the shower in the back right with the entrance on the short side from the front. Washing machine then in the back left, toilet in the front left. Of course, you would have to reroute a lot of connections, but it would be better in terms of space utilization. The shower would also have to be built individually around the boxed-in soil pipe; you can't do that with a standard tray.

That would be my quick idea now. No idea if that is even feasible with the measurements. Above all, you still want to get into the shower and also load the washing machine... The washing machine would move to the other side, next to it, up to the window, a shower. Directly at the window, on the inside, if this cannot be reduced in size, I would place a glass shower wall in front of it. For the toilet, choose a space-saving one that does not protrude into the room more than necessary. Next to the toilet, there would still be space for a shallow cabinet.

And the toilet turned around.

Yes, but there won’t be 60cm left. A compact floor-standing toilet is still half a meter deep. A usable shower should already have 70cm width. Ergo, 37cm passage remains. That is too narrow.

I don’t see the toilet there because of the drain.

Yes, but 60cm won't remain there.

I didn't mean at the toilet, but the passage at the bottleneck. Regarding the legroom at the toilet, everything is better than now;-)

But with 167 cm there are 47 cm left in front of the toilet. I find that acceptable given the situation. The bathroom is far from being accessible or comfortable anyway...

Right, I had omitted 10cm there. You can do that, and it's definitely better than now. I would still rotate the dish.

One more REALLY daring idea: shower in the entrance area. That means a walk-in shower, leave the entrance door to open normally outward and then install a shower door inside the frame. In the narrow part also put in a shower door, which would then always stay open. It's actually pretty crazy, but that way you'd have a large shower, space at the toilet, the sink, and the washing machine. The window wouldn’t be an issue either.
But it does have something very special *laugh*
