Small bath storage vs walk-in shower tradeoffs

[jinwatkins]

A switch-to-shower can work in small spaces if you reclaim storage elsewhere, such as a recessed medicine cabinet, a shallow linen niche opposite the vanity, or a vanity with full drawers instead of doors. Large-format porcelain tiles on walls reduce grout lines, and a single-slope pan with a linear drain facilitates quick cleanup. Matte finishes hide water spots more effectively than high-gloss finishes. The comparison photos and maintenance notes on https://luxxremodel.com/ helped me see how drawer-based vanities and oversized tile translate in tight rooms, and their projects showed clever niche placement that doesn’t crowd the sightline. If tub retention matters for resale in your area, consider a deep alcove tub with a fixed glass panel—still airy, still cleanable, and you keep soaking options.
