A separate bath and shower earn their places when they support different routines. Our Newmachar bathroom pairs a bath on feet with a compact shower enclosure, keeping both washing options within one room.
When we plan a similar arrangement, we describe the routine for each fitting. A quick shower needs a straightforward entrance and somewhere to dry afterwards. A bath needs a usable approach, somewhere for bathing products and a towel position that works when getting out. Check where supplies and towels belong for each option, because separate washing routines often need different nearby positions.
Check those surrounding spaces before choosing larger fittings. Preserving two ways to wash is useful only when the ordinary actions around each one have also been considered.
