ᐅ What size is your shower? Any recommendations?

It’s not about the placement of the shower, just the size and experiences.

You can’t really say that so generally without a floor plan and door layout. Your bathroom isn’t large, so anything over 90 x 120 cm (35 x 47 inches) or 100 x 100 cm (39 x 39 inches) would feel bulky to me. My brother-in-law had a 150 x 150 cm (59 x 59 inches) shower installed, but he also has a 30 sq m (323 sq ft) bathroom and weighs 140 kilograms (308 lbs). Naturally, he would say a smaller shower isn’t sufficient. At my husband’s request, we have a 100 x 140 cm (39 x 55 inches) shower on the ground floor, but that bathroom is also 6 x 3.5 m (20 x 11.5 ft). Upstairs, we have a 100 x 100 cm (39 x 39 inches) shower in a bathroom about the size of yours—and that’s more than enough for me. But I only weigh 60 kilograms (132 lbs).

We tried different options and asked around, then decided on 100x140cm (39x55 inches) to ensure enough depth for the walk-in showers so that water does not splash out. However, in the finally desired material/design combination, only 90x140cm (35x55 inches) was available. Therefore, we have now chosen the above dimension for all four showers. Some opinions suggest that there can be a draft of cold air in an open walk-in shower, so the crossbar (all showers will be built as a glass U-shape) will be designed as an optional shower curtain holder.

In the master bathroom, we have a depth of 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in) and a width of 1.15 m (3 ft 9 in). Occasionally, small splashes reach outside, but overall the depth is sufficient.

We didn’t want a door or glass, so we needed a bit more space. The shower area ended up being 1.20m x 1.60m (4 ft x 5 ft 3 in) as a dedicated shower zone. We also installed a large built-in rain shower. The width was chosen because we have 120cm x 60cm (47 in x 24 in) tiles laid horizontally on both the floor and the wall.

Here is the floor plan of the main bathroom.

It would fit space-wise. I just don’t like the layout. When you’re lying in the bathtub, your head is at the same height as the toilet, and when you’re sitting on the toilet, you see yourself in the bathroom sink mirror.
