Pocket door for sure, is this the only bathroom in the house? I would never have a bathroom with 2 access points so if the only bathroom I would close off the bedroom access and live with the fact there is no ensuite . If this is an ensuite close off the hall entry .Then your layout looks fine. Good lighting is the next thing to address and I like lots of good lighting in a bathroom that includes over head pots and a couple of over the mirror Halogen 150 watt or the equivilant LED fixtures the pots on one switch the over the mirrors on another.This is one of my favorite fixtures for above mirror it is called Oxygen halogen is very afforadable and I think Lowes carries it in the US.I like your idea of the dark floor and shower floor just remember the shower tile needs to be smaller than the floor tile so make sure the tile you choose comes in the 2 sizes.I love the inspiration pic.

The mirror, track lighting and glass block window are all very strong design elements. I would probably get rid of them all. Also do you understand the implications of having a vapour barrier behind the Durock?

I am retired in my home of 30+ years and recently took an old whirlpool tub out of our master bath and made it into a large shower with grab bars. My thinking was that if someone has to get in the shower with one or the other of us to help at some point, the shower will need to be large enough to accommodate that. The guest bath on the other side of the house still has a tub, so if I want to soak, I’ll use that. I also understand the need for ease of cleaning. We looked into many types of wall systems that were single sheets with no grout or seams and they either looked cheap or were the opposite - way out of our budget. We ultimately decided on 12x24 tiles with minimal grout lines and a strong, acrylic shower base. It looks very nice and is super easy to clean.

Hi there, you should be OK with a 36 inch wide cabinet. That way your existing Water main would be just right outside the cabinet and would have great access. I think that would solve your problem. If not, maybe a 30 inch cabinet? What do you think? :-) Darren And the toilet should be fine, they are usually no more than 32 inches from front to back and yes you are correct they do need at least 15 inches from the center of the toilet to the side wall.
