If your bathroom has a tub-and-shower combination with a curtain instead of a free-standing tub, don’t fret; there’s actually a benefit to this setup. Simply draw the curtain closed after stepping into the tub, and all that fragrant steam rising from the water will linger, creating the effect of a steam bath.

For starters, the tiny ledge along the wall on the right is a great way to accommodate a smaller tub in a bigger space, while adding extra storage. The floor outside the tub is actually graded back to the shower, so everything drains with ease. This is a true wet room, and it looks great.

Disappearing tub. Love the option of the occasional bath but prefer the look of a wide-open shower? Finishing the exterior of a combination tub-shower with mirror or highly reflective tiles lets the tub portion visually disappear while extending the look of a beautiful floor. Finish it off with a garden stool and you’ll barely see the tub at all until it’s time for a soak.
