To wet room or not to wet room?

We have a gutted primary/master bathroom that I would like to optimize on function and form. I previously hated that the shower was in a dark corner so I want to make use of the beautiful big frosted window that floods in light to the space.

My goal is to create a beautiful retreat since we use this space every day and yes, I would love feeling like I've been whisked away under the waterfalls in Hawaii.

Here's the current footprint of the bathroom (watercloset is to the left)


Here's a proposed layout I put together



I am thinking this is the best way to use the space and get that natural light.

If we go with this layout, my questions are:

  • Do we make the shower and tub a wet room?
  • If yes, what should be the size of it? right now I have it as 84" deep but it would be nicer to get some space back to move the closet opening over to the right and then utilize some of that space in the former linen closet that we're knocking down

And if you are thinking a different layout, I'm open to your suggestions! We do have to move plumbing so ultimately we have a blank slate to work with.

Thank you in advance!
