I would want a privacy wall since I'm a very private person!

I really think with this size bath you are only going to have one person at a time in the room, so I choose the larger shower.

If you're worried about privacy, you can always lock the bathroom door.....

Thanks. The only way to access this bathroom is through the "master" bedroom, which also has a lock on the door. I'm trying to think about practicality, function etc, especially if two people are trying to "get ready" or "take care of business" pretty much at the same time. You know, like when a couple both needs to get ready for work, or for dinner out, etc. Let's say, for example, if one person is in the shower, the other person might be wiping his/her butt - not necessarily something I want to see if I happen to be getting clean or just using a hot shower to soothe aching joints. But I'd also like to maximize shower space, just in case my bf and I ever want to shower at the same time. Or whoever might inherit or buy the house, whichever comes first, when I'm no longer around.

I really think you should go for the larger shower. In a bathroom that size, a half wall isn't really going to provide enough privacy for the circumstance you describe anyway, IMHO.

Honestly !

it all depends on the person ,i don't think that its appropriate to have another person in the bathroom when taking a #2 , for all other needs its fine ,a privacy wall would be of help if there is the space for one or even a water closet .

Ha! Ha !

I ment to write inappropriate :))

Larger shower.I don't think privacy is an issue here..wall or no wall, there is no real privacy anyway, so go ahead with the larger shower

helaurin93, I know this an old post. what did you decide?

Thanks for asking!

It is working out really well. We did a half-height wall between the toilet and the shower, but also made the shower extend the length of the back wall. Anyone sitting on the toilet has a semblance of privacy. The half-height privacy wall also is convenient to put items on if needed, besides the recessed niche.

The shower stall is about 30"x60". While it's still a pretty small "master bathroom" - it does the job, and it's big enough to meet our needs. I'm glad I ended the shower stall across the entire back wall though.

There's just enough room to slip by if someone is standing at the sink too.

One of the best features, you can't even see - but the contractor who did the work ran a heating vent under the sink vanity, and has the air coming out from the toe-kick area. So on really chilly mornings, with the heat on, the feet are nice and warm.

Other features I like: The corner seat - I can either stand and prop a leg up to shave there, or choose to sit there. The handheld right by it is super-convenient too. I have psoriatic arthritis, and there have been more than a few times that I've put that hand-held on a massage-pulse setting and just aimed it at whichever joint was in a flare-up to help ease the pain. The handheld shower also makes it super-easy to wash a dog if needed, as well as to wash-and-spray down the shower walls for cleaning. Also, I put an electric outlet just behind the towel bar on the right, below the window. Makes it convenient to set a cellphone up there, safe from the water, but still accessible to play music. (If you've ever hand to wash multiple dogs in a row.... it's better to listen to music than to the dogs all grumbling about getting bathed after they've played in mud). LOL.

The cat arrived after the bathrooms were done... he and his litter-mate came to us as bottle-feeder fosters from the SPCA. :)

Looks lovely! Love everything about it. Thank you for sharing! I see the plan above super helpful! how far does the pony wall extend into room And how wide is the shower door? How big is the corner seat?

I also love your tile!

Are your controls also on the pony wall?

@Nikki LA Actually, they are. It allows us to easily reach in without stepping in, set the temperature etc. and then step in when ready.

I was thinking of doing the same.

Is your tile marble?

@Nikki LA Yes, it is. Purchased from The Tile Shop. Here's some of the product links: https://www.tileshop.com/Search?search=485579 (wall tile, 8"x20"),
