We plan to remodel the Master bathroom, and the shower with floor to ceiling tile.... We discoved the wall to the right of the shower is hollow.... so we are going to...1) Remove the wall and expand the shower so it is larger (picture 1)OR.....2) Keep the shower the size it is and make the section to the right towel storage..... (picture 2)Which do you feel would be the better option??? Currently the closest towel storage is down the hall..... about 15-20feet away...

IMO a 36 x 36 shower is tiny but your looks larger than that but your towel storage will be very small since there is framing in that wall and by the time you do what is in the inspiration pics there will be very little space. I thin I would enlarge the shower a bit and get some hotel type wall storage for a few towels.I certainly would not want the towel storge next to the toilet in any case.

Thankyou! I couldnt figure how to add a picture!

this would be similar design if we added the storage to the right.... or maybe on the left instead to avoid being next to the toilet....

We had the option of a 36x36 shower and a small closet or a bit bigger one but no storage. We went with 36x36 and don't regret it. My husband is a big man but it doesn't even bother him. If having the towels down the hall is annoying you now, then I'd fix that known problem rather than worrying about being annoyed by a smaller shower.

Wouldn't putting the towels on the left mean the shower door swing is impeded by the toilet? I also wouldn't want towels next to the toilet. I'm also very strict about flushing with lid down, so while I wouldn't want open towel storage at all in a bathroom guests ever use, I think it's a great idea in a master bathroom.

Larger shower for sure. How would you clean those small shelves by the toilet...

As large a shower as possible.

There should be a place to store linens somewhere other than by robbing the shower of functionality. You don't have to store every towel you own in the bathroom but just the ones you are actually using.
