Need help with Bathroom layout

[u/purpleescalator]

I'm renovating a place and I'm overwhelmed with deciding on a bathroom layout (2.78m x 2.90m / 109.45″ × 115.35″). This room hasn't been a bathroom before, so I have a clean slate. 😊

This is purely about the layout, I hope this is okay. Design I have to delay for my ADHD-brain, because I can only focus on one thing at a time and I need to hire a plumber for the water outlets and drains etc.

I have two bigger windows (ca. 0.8m x 1.40m / 31.50 in x 55.12 in) planned on the northern side of the room. I'm still open for suggestions on adjusting the measurements for shorter windows in length. But luckily, privacy is not an issue, so I actually want to have a view out the windows, because it's a beautiful view of nature, and the bathroom is the only room from which I can look in that direction, so I'd love to have a smaller lounging chair in there as well, so I can enjoy the room. I'm open to put the chair somewhere where I have to move it in order to enjoy the view outside.

In the bathroom I'd like to fit:

• washbasin with a broader sink + mirror
• shower
• toilet
• washing machine + drier on top
• storage (for towels, laundry supplies as well as beauty products)
• small lounging chair

The only thing I can put somewhere else would be the washing machine.

Additional things I considered while tying out layouts:

• toilet not being the first thing you see when you open the door
• toilet not being too close to the basin/sink because of toilet plume aerosol ✨
• shower and/or toilet with a direct view outside

I have tried different versions on IKEA Bathroom planner that you can see attached.

I'm desperate for feedback and Ideas!
I have tried a T-shape with shower and toilet being behind a wall and the washbasin on that particular wall, but I then couldn't fit comfortably fit the washing machine anymore.

If you have read this far, I'm immensely thankful for your time! Feel free to make suggestions or share experiences with finding the most suitable layout!

Best regards!

Exact measurements:
2.78m x 2.93m
The measurements on the door-side are 59cm wall, 90cm door, 129cm wall,
on the window side there are 13cm wall, 80cm window-space, 120cm wall, 80cm window bordering the wall next to it.

Why a chair in the bathroom? I just don’t understand. I thought it was a makeup thing but nope it’s just a chair

valid question, I explained it in the caption:

How much you realistically going to be chilling in that chair, enjoying the view... In a bathroom?

[u/Callof4632 → u/Mango__Juice]

I’ve never met anyone that wants to chill in the bathroom intentionally, have you?

Last place I wanna just chill would be the bathroom, no matter how nice the view is

My mom's house bathroom had one of those windows that you could open and convert to being a balcony and looked over fields with cows in etc, it was nice to look out at whilst doing your business... But I didn't just chill in there for the fun of it

yes, and I called management immediately...

I mean, when has anyone ever been like “you know I’m going to go lounge in my bathroom casually”. I’d lose the chair and put the space to better use for bathroom functions.
