My suggestions include a large double shower with 1) Full screen between bath and shower with glass door opening back towards new window. 2) Glass nib wall between end of bath and shower 3) no screen Japanese style.

Generous 1600w x 500d x 500h wall hung vanity with mirrored wall shaving style cabinets, twin basins and a 600 x 600 linen storage which also adds a bit of privacy for the WC, this WC position allows for more leg room, you could also re swing the door

Just wondering, you say the house is timber, what is the floor, if it timber it will be very simple to move things around and better function. Check with your builder for anything that you don't understand. I totally missed the sliding door into the bathroom from the Bedroom, is it absolutely necessary?

Perhaps Japanese style bath and shower, the bath coud have a tiled ledge at one end for sit down and to reduce the length of the bath. The shower next to it with twin shower heads, one at each end. A nib wall with a glass or normal door swinging into the shower room, no screen

What about having the glass screen sitting on the hob of the bath as you have suggested but actually using the extended bath edge to create a shelf inside the shower on which to place your shampoos etc? Saves the need for a niche or one of those awful hanging wire baskets for your soap etc. And handy for popping your foot on when dealing with heels and toes etc. Dont know if Ive explained this but I imagine the glass actually sitting on the bath edge of the hob, rather than the shower edge of the hob. Cleaning - well, just a wipe down as you would need to do with your soap shelf anyway. I dont imagine that the glass needs to extend past the edge of the bath. If it does, why not have the bath built into a wider surround, just to extend its width, so the glass does not need to extend - I think this would look odd.

You mentioned you are anti cleaning... we currently have a walk in shower and it creates WAY more work than a normal shower. Water splashes everywhere and you have to clean it up or else you have mould issues like you wouldn't believe. We have been in the house for one year and the bathroom had been rennovated not long before we brought it but we have a 're-do' on our rennovation list because of how impractical it is.... It could be worth talking to other people that have a walk-through shower to see what they think. Personally, I hate ours.

Oh dear! Views on this seem so divided. I was hoping that if we have a wall on two sides and a screen of at least 110cm that it should be OK. Deonne, are you able to let me know the dimensions of yours or post a photo? We are in regional Victoria where it's not terribly cold and thus far have had no mould... but you have described a monster :'(

I'll leave others to help with the design but just a comment on Deonne's point. I too hate walk-in showers with no way to stop water going all over the floor where it is messy and slippery and therefore dangerous. Keeping clean smooth glass shower doors and screens is not hard if 1) you keep soaps and detergents to minimum, 2) have a flexible shower head so you can wash off with fresh water before leaving shower, and 3) keep a squeegee there so you can give a quick clean after every shower. Too easy!

our walk in showers are 1200 and 1500 wide and 900 deep with the floor grate across the opening in one and at the back wall in the other and my preferred choice for preventing the splash and wet floors is a simple extra long shower curtain that is simply thrown in the washing machine about once a fortnight and much less hassle and expense than any other option

Totally agree dreamer, keeping it simple reduces the work, my husband found when servicing our holiday accommodation that it was much easier to clean if you use pump pack soap and not a cake of soap, Shower rooms are for everyone to use safely and keep in mind the type of floor tile that is used to avoid slipping. Shower curtains are a cheap option and can look really good when hung high and in a plain colour

I like my ledge lower so I can put my foot on it!

The idea (from NancyMiller48) of a ledge for storage and feet is really growing on me. This photo (but the mirror version and with the mixer NOT under the showerhead) is the closest I can find to what we might end up with - but with the screen positioned to allow for a ledge in the shower. The alternative is to extend out the shower end of the hob, so that instead of a shaped glass screen, there'd be a 3/4 glass screen for 1200mm... this one looks longer than that to me. Also, our vanity will be around the corner, not next to the bath and we'll have a wall-mounted shower head, not ceiling. Dreamer, your wall tiles are very similar to those we've selected! I love the way people are willing to share ideas with people like me who have no experience in design or renovation :)

The option you like seems pretty good. Our walk-through shower is *really* walk through; 2 walls, no front or back. My husband is a tall man so when he raises his arms to wash his face or hair we have mini waterfalls off of his elbows.

Hi Dreamer, originally that was the plan, unfortanately the shower is placed in the wrong spot for our everyday use and floor tiles weren't laid very well, so the water that splashes still manages to pool, even after using a squeegee. I think it is going to end up a full reno.

Hi Deonne

If your bathroom requires the two doors, my suggestion is NOT to have a bath. Keep it very clean and neat Across the recess have either a walk-in shower with a 600mm opening OR a glass panel and door. You may consider a seat in the shower ( example on our website ) A recess ( niche ) for shower 300mm high max length Wall hung, all drawer vanity. In-wall cistern toilet suite. Mixer diverter, overhead and handheld shower. Quality tapware, with min 10-year warranty Porcelain floor tiles min 300 x 300. Tile to ceiling, ( unless home has high ceiling, if high, tile to an architrave height ) min tile size 600 x 300, Ceramic to rein in cost
