Hi all, I'm currently having some trouble deciding between two bathroom layout design for the main bathroom renovation, and was hoping you guys can give some opinion on which one you think works better from an aesthetics, resale perspective. : )
Layout 1
Pic1 (measured in mm) is a layout with shower area and bath separate (the current layout). The upside of this design is that we get a separate shower and bath area.. The downside is the toilet faces the door, the shower entrance is a bit cramped to get into because of the position of the toilet. And the shower probably requires a sliding door design because of proximity with the toilet and I haven't actually found a good looking sliding door shower screen..
As reference, pic2 shows what the bathroom currently looks like, which is based on Layout 1.

Layout 2
Pic3 (measured in mm) is a layout with tub/shower combo. The upside of this design are 1) the toilet is hidden away, 2) more spacious looking from the door looking in (door will probably be kept open most of the time due to where it's positioned). The downside is of course the fact that tub/shower is combined, and it seems like some people dislike this configuration with a passion, so my concern is it might impact resale value? What might be of relevance though is there is also an ensuite bathroom with a large walk in shower, not sure if this offsets anything.

What's annoying is the plumbing in the floor at the bathtub nook area cannot be moved (no access to that part of the floor apart from where the bathtub's floor waste is currently at, the top right corner..), so I really can't think of a better layout..
So which one makes more sense to you? Any opinions are greatly appreciated!
