Do you put shower controls at opposite ends of Bath?

It’s also worth bearing in mind the space that will be required for bath and shower controls. Some people choose to have these at opposite ends of the bath to stop things from feeling cluttered, whereas others go for a more centralised control arrangement, like the one below:
