It’s more common in Japan, however you can convert the entire bathroom and make it water proof. This would in theory make the entire room a shower room, plus it makes it easy to clean the entire thing. More on reddit.com

My 1940s house has full tile walls (and ceilings!) in each bathroom in vibrant hues. While we still have tubs, if we were to switch them out for walk-in showers, we’d take the tile down to the floor and add glass doors or linen curtains. Perhaps something like this: More on reddit.com

Hire a professional tile installer to install your shower. Tile is a large investment and needs to be done correctly the first time. Lots of people "do tile" but like all finish work it is an art form and you get what you pay for. Showers have the highest liability of all tile installtions. Make sure they use installation materials that have a lifetime warranty like Schluter or Laticrete products for example. Go online and look at/save pictures of showers and see what you like in a tile shower. Large format tile or small format tile Centered drain or linear Curbless or with a curb Shower head locations Bench Recessed shampoo niche Accent bands There's a lot of options to choose from out there and I always tell my clients to get what you want. It's a large enough investment that if you need to save up a few more years to achieve your dream shower it's worth it! A good tile guy will help you design a shower for a cost but you can most likely get a general idea of what you want. Good luck! More on reddit.com

Just redid mine, well almost done that is lol. 64" to the front edge of the tub, 60" wide, same layout except toilet and sink are on left not right. On the bare wall across from the vanity and toilet, I cut a big hole in the wall and built a box to make recessed shelves. With the 4 inches of recessed space, I have (3) 8" deep shelves that only protrude 4 inches as to not take up much of the precious free space in the room. Thought it was a pretty clever space saving trick. I went with lotus leaf green walls, pretty dark considering it's small and there are no windows, but the vanity, sink, tub insert, trim are all pure white and the floor is sterling oak gray vinyl plank floor so the colors balance out very well. I could go on all day about how much I love these vinyl plank floors. Floating vanity by Ikea, euro small toilet by Ariel. My vanity is slightly too wide, a sacrifice my wife was willing to make in the name of good sinktop space at 31 inches. I'd try and give yourself atleast 40" between the tub and vanity for the toilet. I only have 33" and that extra 7" would have allowed me to mount the toilet paper roll on the side of the vanity comfortably. Using a free standing roll holder until I make a decision on that one. If this isn't a primary bathroom and you could do a pedestal sink, you'll be golden when it comes to free space. I needed storage and we didn't want to put an over the toilet cabinet up so we went with the vanity with drawers. The room feels bigger because the storage is down low and not in your face. Any questions let me know Edit: here's 2 pics You can see the recessed box in the mirror, it's not complete. Just finished cutting the trim that's going in tomorrow. Be easy Reddit I worked hard on this lol More on reddit.com
