A bathroom layout needs checking with its doorway in use, not just with the door closed. Our Northfield bathroom in Aberdeen combines a freestanding bath, wetroom shower and pocket door with pink panelling and floral walls.
A pocket door removes the arc of a conventional swinging door, but the rest of the room still needs a careful movement check. For your own plan, mark a person standing at the basin, then consider entering, reaching a towel and using the shower entrance. Try the same route with the vanity open and someone standing at the basin to identify the likely overlap. Include furniture fronts and enclosure doors in that exercise. Looking at the occupied room helps identify awkward overlaps before fittings are selected, rather than judging the layout only as an empty floor plan.
