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?

This is actually the bathroom cabinet 😀

We will probably do it like this from the bottom of the plan:
120x90 cm (47x35 inches) shower with a glass panel on the room side, featuring an inward-opening door and a fixed panel on the bathtub side.
20 cm (8 inches) shelf at bathtub height
90x180 cm (35x71 inches) bathtub
Small shelf approximately 8 cm (3 inches)

At 120cm (47 inches), a glass wall on the bathroom side is not necessarily required, so it can be open at the front.

I have it like this and it works perfectly. When you enter the bathroom with the wall folded to the side, you have an unobstructed view into the bathroom, making the space feel larger.

For this room size, avoid dark tiles!

Do you mean a walk-in shower? 120 cm (47 inches) is definitely far too small for that – the water will splash out quite a lot.

I think there is some confusion here about the shower layout 😀 The long side should be the open one, so that you only have 90cm (35 inches) of "shower space."
