Controls on the opposite wall from the outlet create a different start to showering. In our Westhill ensuite, the shower extends into a former cupboard, with concealed controls reachable before entering the main spray.
When considering a similar arrangement, test the approach from outside the enclosure. Identify where someone stands, which hand reaches the controls and where they move next. A position described as outside the spray still needs to suit the enclosure entrance and the person using it. Show where your hand reaches before stepping in, especially if the screen edge sits between you and the controls.
Include this small movement in the layout review before fixing the shower positions. It helps turn a product arrangement into a clear everyday sequence, from switching on the water to moving into the washing area.
