HEAVILY Split Bathroom! Help! (Pictures included)

[Aaron Bito]

Hello All,

So I am completely new to rehabbing so I will take some pointers when it comes to renovations. Right now my issue is a split bathroom ( if you guys know the technical term for what I am about to describe please enlighten me), it is split as in heavily compartmentalized--- Sink--wall-Shower--wall--Toilet. I will also provide some pictures so you can better see what I am talking about. I really need help navigating how i could potentially fix this because I am not sure anyone would like it if I just made the features more modern. The space is tight too so I am thinking about tearing down the walls to the closet and using that to make the bathroom bigger because there's a closet located in the bathroom. It is a shared bathroom between the master bedroom and the adjacent room, but I am planning on making it not shared. Please let me know what you guys think or if you guys have any youtube videos, vlogs, or blogs that show people working on these types of bathrooms. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
