A bath replacement need not leave every other fitting in its old position. In our Cove bathroom, a quadrant shower replaced the bath, while the two-drawer vanity moved into the former bathing area.
For a similar renovation, compare a plan that changes only the washing fitting with one that also repositions the basin. Trace the route from the door to each, including the space used while standing at the basin and entering the enclosure. Check which old positions are worth keeping and which have more useful alternatives once the bath is removed.
This makes the choice about the whole room rather than the shower alone. A different furniture position may create a more useful arrangement, but it needs checking against the actual room and practical installation requirements before becoming the final plan.
