There was an error rendering this rich post.

Greetings! Redoing an old long bathroom; removing shower and tub. New, much larger shower with floating bench no tub. What cabinet/ shelving can I put in that space,

(3' x 3',) to store towels, tp etc? Should I install shelves instead or a stand alone piece? The double vanities on the opposite side will be floating with drawer and cabinet. Thank you!!

I would personally keep the TP in a storage closet hidden from plain sight, and hang towels on hooks in the bathroom. You could always do smaller face towels on shelves if you wanted them to be on display, but I like to keep the majority of that stuff hidden so the bathroom doesn't feel too busy and then keep shelving to more decorative elements or smaller jars with beauty essentials. It's personal preference 😊

Personally I prefer shelves for open towels storage. Much easier to acess. We have a wasted tub in each bathroom as I missed my chance to eliminate the tubs when we remodeled, but the shower is in it not separeate.

I keep mine under the sink because there's nowhere else.

I don't understand why so many are removing tubs. That's my spa feature in my home. I personally also recommend keeping things hidden. I'd opt for a built-in or stand-alone to store things and keep it clutter-free.

we remodeled a similar bath. Took out the built in tub and replaced with a free standing tub. I don’t think it’s a good idea to remove the tub in terms of resale if you ever sell the home. There are times you need a tub. So relaxing in the winter when it’s cold and when you’re not feeling well. Most new build still have tubs in the bathroom.

Thanks Daniela. Your response makes sense!

Hi Phaedra: We have a guest bathroom where we are preserving the tub and remodeling around it. We also like a "spa lavender epsom salt bath" occasionally, In the bathroom the large shower with a floating bench is because we are seniors and although we are strong and heathy now, TG, we want to be prepared for the future.

I don't have specific suggestions, but I like some ideas from the comments above.

I'd also suggest you recreate and play around with the space in 3d before doing any changes to the space.

It's a lovely bathroom and I think you won't need many changes.

Thanks for the feedback. It really IS NOT a lovely bathroom. It has all been made with the cheapest, flimsiest, poor quality materials. The shower tracks were never properly maintained so they are encrusted with mineral deposits from the hard water in Pa. In other words, the prior owners were very dirty and the bathroom was full of black mold in the corners. We have another guest bathroom with a tub that we are remodeling as well. THIS bath MUST BE DESTROYED!!!
