ᐅ Connection between bathtub and shower

Hello everyone,

we are currently working on the detailed bathroom planning for the upper floor. The overall layout roughly looks like the picture. My question is what to do with the gap between the bathtub and the shower. One suggestion was simply to enlarge the shower (130x90 cm (51x35 inches)) and extend it up to the bathtub. My wife mentioned that she actually likes this "gap" (~45 cm (18 inches)) because it could be used to hang bathrobes. A third option would be to extend the bathtub with some kind of shelf or ledge. What would you recommend?

That may be, but don’t you think it would seem too dark if there is a wall added in between?

Don’t you have any ceiling lights?

Even with artificial lighting, it still looks like a hole – if the children are really going to shower by themselves, you have to firmly teach them to squeegee the glass right from the start – purely a matter of training.

A wall would be too bulky and unnecessarily darken the space.

I like the idea of enlarging the shower and having a shelf for the bathtub.

I agree with @Lexmaul. It’s purely a matter of teaching. Even young children can learn to use a squeegee.
Plastic shower walls also need to be wiped down after showering, but over the years they don’t stay as nice as glass.

Hello.
My suggestion: a walk-in shower with a glass panel measuring 130 x 90 cm (51 x 35 inches). The glass panel by the entrance can be hinged to fold rightwards after 30 or 40 cm (12 or 16 inches). This way, you get a more spacious feeling during the day.

Alternatively, keep the size as drawn and place a stool-like bathroom cabinet from Villeroy & Boch’s VIVA range in between, open for storing towels and similar items.

What is the square on the left behind the door?
