A valid solution for a multi-purpose bathroom is to fit a bathtub and shower into the same room. This post examines the minimum measurements involved and the alternatives available for consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning a bathroom with bathtub and shower involves paying careful attention to the measurements of each piece of furniture or fixture in order to establish priorities and avoid design errors.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A preference for one or another solution has often been influenced by the fashion of the time. For many years bathrooms had bathtubs<\/a>, mostly rectangular and with standard measurements (approximately 70x170cm), tiled with the same tiles as the bathroom. This gave way to a boom in requests to eliminate the bathtub<\/strong> and replace it with the more practical shower enclosure<\/a>, influenced also by a change in lifestyles which involved dedicating less time to relaxing at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays the bathroom has a primary role in the house and has become a private spa in which to relax and pamper ourselves. It is no longer just a service room or a mere bathroom, but can be planned as a multi-purpose place which can incorporate, for example, a small private spa or a laundry area (as we saw here<\/a>).
In this context, today the height of luxury is to fit both a bathtub and shower<\/strong> into the bathroom so that we can choose which we prefer according to our timetable and whim. This is a highly flexible, practical solution, especially if there is just one bathroom in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much space do a bathtub and shower need? Can we fit a shower enclosure and bathtub into a small bathroom? What measurements should be considered? Let\u2019s discuss the question now.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

How much space does a shower enclosure occupy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In general, to accommodate a shower comfortably a tray of 70x90cm or 80x80cm is big enough, but it\u2019s not quite as simple as that. These are minimum sizes and must be calculated together with other factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
