The second bathroom I did was a complete gutting and everything that went in was new. New tile, new lights, I removed the tub and made it a walk in shower instead where I could put a shower stool.

Overall my biggest items were that I wasn’t going to have shower curtains, and that I needed large tiles so that there was very little grout, and where there was grout, it would be thin grout. I also wanted something that was light, but not too white, I didn’t want to see every bit of dirt and feel like I needed to clean it multiple times a week. In a way I was lucky that I had a very small area to work with, it didn’t require too many decisions. Oh yeah, I also wanted a sunken in wall vanity in my house, that way I could store more stuff without losing any space, that way you just pull open the mirror and there’s all your random stuff you might use daily but don’t want out on the counters.

If I were you I would go for a glass door then knock out that enclosure part between the shower and toilet (even if it’s just a half wall) and put glass there as well. It will give the illusion of more space even if it’s not. You could even just do the glass door first and it wouldn’t be too much, probably only a few hundred dollars. I’m not a carpenter but I’m pretty sure that you could save the glass door during a full renovation if you do it later.
