Does the shower water stay in the shower space?

Without a door at the end, does water flow out of the space? I love the accessibility but worry about a constantly wet floor.

Hi, Patricia! If you look at where the subway tile meets the floor on the left hand side of the shower, you'll notice that the shower floor is slightly pitched to allow the water to run into the linear drain. This prevents water from flowing all over the bathroom. Thank you!

Thank you so much for responding so quickly! I did not notice the pitch or the linear drain at the wall. Is there a mechanism for keeping that drain clean (free of pesky hair that clogs drains)??

Are you keen on keeping the bath next to the window? You could possibly move the vanity so that it is immediately ahead when you walk in the door, build a thin wall to the ceiling behind that and hide the toilet behind the wall. The toilet would then be in the bottom left corner. You could put a towel rail where the toilet currently is. The bath could stay as is. Turn the glass for the shower 90 degrees so that it is on the right as you enter the room. That way you have a 'wet area' without splashing the whole bathroom. you can have a a drain next to the wall rather than in the middle of the floor. Not sure it would all fit, but you could give it a go! With the current plan, you will need to work out how to slope the floor to the drain in the floor, which may be tricky. You also need to work out where you will hang towels so that you can reach them, but they won't get splashed.

We don't need to choose between two options anymore. Shower Screen, Shower Curtain or Shower Blind... My shower blinds offer a premium, heavier fabric that doesn't cling, is mould free due to the seam free design (registered), it create space and as it's out of sight when dry rolled up, you don't need to worry about cleaning it all the time! And the fabric can be easily removed when needing a change or for easy quick cleaning, due to the hook and loop fastening!

Will just one side of the shower be open (ie shower in a corner with 2 walls) or 2 sides open? Do you have an image of the bathroom plan? Also, I would always consider adding a hand held shower head along with a rainfall shower for easier cleaning.
