Belinda's ideas
Glass surround to shower - feels open, modern and spacious.
Shelves on short wall to use the space better.
Shower/Freestanding tub in shared space; clear glass partition with submerged drain floor; feels more open
Step - Up to Bath, Assuming we keep the current tub & don't go with a standalone.
