Directly from bedroom to bathroom or through the dressing

Hello,
Can you please give me your opinions about these two setups? The entrance in the bathroom is different. One goes through the dressing and the other directly from the bedroom.

On the lower wall of the bathroom, there's also a pretty large window. It's not included in this plan. Also, the dressing has ventilation.

Thanks!

    I am doing a master bath remodel now, and one of my major goals was to eliminate the straight line view of the toilet from my bed. Your plan with the bathroom door has such a view. But I also think going through the closet is problematic. Any way to move the bathroom doorway - or the toilet. Maybe out the sink where the toilet is and the toilet on the wall where the window is? How low/wide is that window? Is it set in stone?

    Is this a new build? Otherwise moving plumbing for the toilet is a lot.

    Here’s how I see it. If you had the flu and were about to puke, would you want to run through your closet to get to the toilet?

    @numbersjunkie, the toilet being directly in the doorway was the main reason I wanted to move the door because originally it was in the middle of the room, with direct view from the bed. The window is 80cm above the ground, but I can't move the toilet that far from the plumbing.

    Thanks for the input!

    I don't think it's good design to have to go through a closet to get to a bathroom. The second layout is more functional. However, I would arrange the bathroom fixtures differently: I'd swing the bathtub 90 degrees so it's against the wall at the "bottom" of the diagram. I would put the sink where the toilet is, and I would move the toilet along the wall it now is on, but between the sink and the turned bathtub. This eliminates the direct view of the toilet (if that concerns you), but, more importantly, it avoids having such a tight clearance between the tub and the front of the sink.

    As a side note, I don't know why you would want to have double doors into a bedroom of that modest size: it serves no purpose, is stylistically not in scale with the bedroom, and wastes useful wall space that you could use for displaying art.

    One more thought...

    In addition to having a more useful arrangement of the bathroom fixtures, the layout below would give you the advantage of having a large span of wall opposite the foot of the bed. With a wider wall you could have a television or a large piece of art facing the bed:

    What is in the room to the left of the closet? Is that another closet? Where does the door on the upper left go to?

    this would be my preference. The double doors probably go to a patio and the single door at the top left might be the entrance with a built in wardrobe along it.

    I am a miminalist about my wardrobe so I would incorporate a hall of reach in well organized fitted wardrobes along the top wall of your diagram and greatly enlarge the bathroom. Just a thought. I like narrow closet units for they seem to stay more organized for me.

    I'd be concerned about a shower/tub under a window.

    If you enlarge your room by .5 meters you could try this layout which gives you a larger sink and storage in the bathroom. you also have a hallway that leads into the closet or the bathroom.

    I would do one french door with windows on either side mimicking french doors.
