Smallest Shower Ever

The ensuite bathroom has the smallest shower I've seen:

Is there any design in which the shower could be different?

I'm debating knocking out some of the closet space in the bedroom behind the bathroom, widening the shower, and then putting a glass wall that divides the shower from the counter, and keeping that open. But that seems like a renovation headache and would obviously increase costs/time. Plus, I've heard that those glass half-dividers are more stylish than functional.

Can't think of a way to make that 30x30 shower better. Or the best way to add storage in there (not wanting to keep the current wire rack monstrosity).

Any wild ideas for me? Seems like it might just be replacing the vanity, adding a couple floating shelves above toilet, and maybe replacing shower door.

Wonder? (with 5ft but I don’t know length) and see modifications below.

Toilet: you have 30” but would work if you added a narrow model.

It doesn’t have to feel cave like and you could even build out a bit for storage.

Vanity: would be under window and there are mirror options if concerned.

Shower across corner near door and being diagonal you will get a roomier feel. Reverse door’s opening.

Looks like a 70's master bath shower to me!!

Do you want to keep all four bedrooms? Maybe consider combining two bedrooms and creating a real master bath. Most people today would consider that bathroom unworkable as a master bath.

You could enlarge the shower in one axis by stealing some of the adjacent closet -- even 18 inches might make the shower feel much more spacious, but it's still going to be closed in because you can't' widen the glass portion unless you open the wall next to the sink.

The place I'm renting during my renovation has a 30" x 34" shower stall. It could be worse. I'd put a wrap around shampoo niche for extra elbow space in there as well.

You clearly need a recessed 72" mirrored medicine pantry too.

Can you switch things around? Possibly putting the shower where the toilet and sink are and putting the sink where the toilet is - things like that.

That is a tiny bathroom. I'd rather have it though than no bath there at all, and I'd find a way to make do. We did live in little two bed bungalow several years that has a 32x32" shower, glass door. It served it purpose even if not luxurious ;) I'd need storage in that bath before considering a larger shower. Is there a piece of wall where you could put a shallow between studs cosmetics and products cabinet. They can hold an amazing amount of things. Wondering too if you could slip in a slightly wider and taller vanity and still meet code. My master bath now took a bit of getting used to, it has a 37" vanity (meaning tall, I am lucky to have 7' wide now after paying my dues with a tiny master bath). Now that we've lived here a while, I appreciate the storage it provides.

Have you already moved in? If so, does the shower bug you every single day or is it okay, just not great?
