The WetStyle f/s tub has a removable tray that sits across the tub. I like numberjunkie's idea of a shelf or ledge behind the tub for placing items and also like the idea of having the shower wall next to the tub tiled half-way up to have a space for installing a grab bar. WetStyle has an optional shelf that surrounds the tub, but I think it would make it more challenging to get in and out of the tub - would need to hop over the shelf. The drop-in tub I was initially considering was 72"x42" but that would likely not fit, so would need to be 72"x36". This weekend I looked at an open house (new construction) in my area that had a drop-in tub with a narrow space for the deck surround (see attached photo). The deck was tiled on the top and on the apron with white subway tile. I noticed that with the narrow deck space (about 2") and the tub overhang, it would be awkward to sit on the edge of the tub and swing my legs in or out of the tub. Wiithout space for a deck that is wide enough to comfortably sit on, ease of entry or exit may come down to depth of the tub and options for placement of grab bars. The Wetstyle tub is 22" deep; the drop-in tubs are generally deeper, more like 26"

I won't be much help, but I am not familiar with this concept at all...it sounds ideal though. I would love this. I found this photo which sounds like the layout you are describing. I love it! I do wonder if it is a lot of work though to have to dry everything off every time? I'd be afraid of mildew around the bottom seal of the tub if you didn't dry thoroughly. I could not do it where I live out in the country as we are on well water which has a very high mineral content and would really leave a terrible look on my fixtures of deposits. If you can do it, I think it would be pretty neat, but just not sure how well it works? I thought this photo looked like what you described: And actually most of them did not show a big space around the tub when I did a google search. https://www.mydomaine.com/what-is-a-wet-room-bathroom-6747324

Thank you, I believe the room height is 10 feet but I will check on that. I definitely understand the safety about not having something above the tub (which is why we didn't have anything when we built) but I just feel like we need something over there. We have recessed lights but I was just looking to shake it up a bit!

Not a fan of that light fixture. Would not want to look at/into the light but rather have the fixture provide light for the room. If you want an interesting ceiling hung light, consider this LED one: https://www.beautifulhalo.com/6led-leaf-design-semi-flush-light-nordic-style-acrylic-ceiling-flush-mount-in-warmwhiteneutral-p-326243.html?currency1=USD&track=PA_G_SUS325&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1IbvvfjH5QIVVdyGCh0DNgObEAQYASABEgI74fD_BwE You might consider a faux window light -- perhaps even a stained glass one: http://diphotoshop.com/3-tips-for-highlighting-the-exterior-architecture-of-your-home/ http://nanobolt.co/fake-window-light-box/ Or a fake window skylight light: The local hospital has one but I couldn't find a pic on line that would load. Are you aware that there are light fixtures made specifically for corners? I like this one best: http://kapemvun.info/foliage-not-flowers/ but there are others worth considering, too. http://kapemvun.info/easy-fix-for-fall-flowers-to-get-up-your-garden-2/ http://kapemvun.info/10-no-fail-drought-tolerant-perennials-for-low-water-gardens/
