Our Woodside bathroom in Aberdeen combines a freestanding bath beneath the slope with a separate curved enclosure. A curved front changes the outline where the shower meets the rest of the room. Its value depends on what the space immediately outside that corner needs to do.
Compare a curved enclosure and a square alternative at the same scale, with the bath shown at its actual size. Mark the patch that becomes available beside the curve. Can it be used to stand, turn or approach the bath? Look inside the shower as well, since the clipped corner affects the space available there. If neither change improves a position that matters, the shape may be mainly an appearance choice. The comparison gives you a way to choose the enclosure based on what the two bathing areas ask of one another.
