As it's pictured, this is an awkward bathroom. I don't see a shower fitting into this corner -- I think you've gotta start from scratch and re-design this whole thing: - I never like toilet-in-a-closet designs; note that this one is about the same size as a public toilet stall -- those things aren't comfortable. The issue here is that when the toilet door is left open (which will be often), it blocks your main entrance to the bathroom. - The closet door in the center is preventing you from putting the shower on one side of the bathroom, which would be the most logical choice. My best stab at it -- and I don't think it's 'specially good: This does place the sink, the most-used item in the bathroom, immediately by the door. It tucks the toilet behind a wall, meaning it's hidden from view but it removes the problem of the conflicting doors and gives you more room for comfort. The shower is quite large, and the door is out of the way. And you're left with enough space for a wide linen closet adjacent to the shower. By moving the closet door a bit to the side, the shower fits in a more logical spot (more logical than the NE corner). Another thought -- simplify and reduce the space, allowing for a larger closet, yet you still have all the pieces you need:

Michou, I’m so excited! I just talked to my husband and showed him your wet room and plan. I showed him a bunch of other photos I saved today, and he is on board with the idea. He had already wanted a huge shower there, had even lowered the floor board for the shower floor and started waterproofing while I was out of town. Yeah he does crazy stuff when I’m gone...ha! When I got home and saw it, I was thinking the shower was just too stinkin’ BIG. He was willing to change it, but with this idea he won’t have to. He’s the contractor, so less work for him equals done deal. Thanks again for the idea!

We're starting our master bath renovation in July and it's time to start making some design choices. This is a TINY (6'x7') bath in a 1898 Victorian foursquare home. We are not slaves to Victorian-era décor but I do want to use materials that generally look like they belong in a house of this age. Here's the proposed layout: As you can see, there's not a lot in the way of floor space, but what there is will be tile. I plan to tile the two walls of the shower enclosure floor-to-ceiling, along with the shower side of the brick chimney stack (we may or may not tile the vanity side of the chimney). Remaining shower enclosure will be glass; shower floor will be tile. Outside of the shower, I have considered using the shower tile to tile the walls up to wainscot height, but my contractor also suggested that beadboard or another decorative wooden wainscoting might be a nice alternative to tile. I am open to this option but I want to make sure I don't have TOO many different things going on in such a small space. Style-wise, I want to keep it somewhat simple but I am sick to death of white subways. I'm fine with some white, but I want to focus on soft greys and blues/greens/aquas in this bathroom. I really love the look of encaustic tiles and while I understand that true encaustics aren't suitable for wet environments, I'd love to find a porcelain look-a-like for the room floor, something like this: For the shower floor, maybe grey pennies: And then I get stuck. Coordinating grey subways for the shower, perhaps with grey wainscoting on the walls? Or pale blue subways in the shower and white wainscoting? Something else that's NOT subways? Marble hex on shower floor and walls? The choices are overwhelming, especially since my budget range can be pretty wide since I don't really need much in terms of square footage. I haven't chosen a vanity yet but I am planning on something grey with a white/grey marble or quartz top, most likely (and will use the same material for shower curbs/door saddle). Something like this: Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions!
