Left or right opening shower door?

I'm having a small shower room refitted in a property i only intend staying in for another 6 months before selling. I am wondering given the set up shown below whether people would have a preference for the shower door to slide open from the left or the right ?

- On the left is the door to the shower room
- On the right is the sink (34cm gap between edge of shower to sink)

I prefer one way, my partner the other, but want to make sure we cater for the majority given our intention to put it up for sale

Ah, as a newbie I can't post links so I wondered if some kind sole could post the image found at the following location please?

    From the left towards the right.

    1. Most people are right handed so it makes sense to use the right hand from left to right to open it.

    2. If it were to open from right to left you would have to squeeze past the basin to get in.

    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.
  • I agree with KS

  • Excellent, thank you both for replying and for posting my pic too. I'm glad you both are of the same opinion as me, the squeezing by the basin (ooops) seems silly if you don't have to.
