Master bath / closet layout help please
Comments (6)If I were you'd I'd pose this question to Bevangel--often found in the building forum (you can locate a post by her, click her name, then email her through GW to ask her to post on this). She is very knowledgable about accessible homes/baths, etc. From another post she commented on: "Any room or closet that you want to make wheelchair accessible needs to have a wide enough door (32" minimum) for a wheelchair to get thru. Accessible bathrooms need to have a 5' diameter circle of clear floor space so that a wheel-chair can get turned around in them." So, I worry, right off the bat, that your bathroom isn't wide enough. Plus, having a glass shower front means you won't be able to put in a grab bar on that wall for use for a weaker person to get on/off the toilet.... I think that wall needs to be solid, at least from the half-way point down. If you cannot, under any circumstances move the shower's location, then I would make the closet narrower--at 4' wide only, and give the rest to the bathroom. If you can afford to cut the slab for a shower drain only (this won't be that expensive, in the grand scheme of things...), I'd try moving the shower to across from the sink/toilet and all the way "down" to the wall. Then, have your closet run across the right wall. If you draw that out, you might find you can get a wider area in the center of the bathroom for accessibility. Or, since it is a fairly square space (10x11) you might find that extra expense isn't worth it. Finally, I'd consider making the whole 10x11 space bathroom/linen closet, and building a closet on the door side of the bedroom (just a reach in). Bathroom space would look like a long bath, with lots of space in the "front"/bottom of it. And, along the bottom wall could be a reach in closet or cabinetry set up. This would give you the turning radius needed as well....See MoreNeed help with 11'4X12 master bath and closet layout.
Comments (3)Well, we are building and will have an 11'4X27' area for the master bedroom/bath/closet. The bedroom will be 11'4X15 and the additional space will be for the closet and bathroom. I would like double sinks, possibly a toilet closet, and a large walk-in shower. I have figured and re-figured and can't seem to find a design that I love which gives adequate closet space and bathroom space. Please let me know if more info would be helpful. This is not my forte (obviously) which is why I would love some help....See More11x9 Master Bath/closet renovation - please help
Comments (12)I would hate the door swing into the sink area in cpartists drawing. I also do not like to have a toilet so near my showering egress, this is just a silly idiosyncrasy of mine. Do you prefer a walkin closet to a decent master bath? If so cp's ideas with a pocket door would work for you. I prefer my breathing room in the bathroom rather than a closet. my reach in pax wardrobes are not all lined up on one wall but rather we have his and her sides with mine flanking my side of a vanity and his flanking his side...it is unconventional but after realizing that fifty square ft was not enough for a good bathroom nor closet it was our best compromise. after having very little closet space in my 1920 home I find my set up really nice. Here were my inspiration pics where I got my idea to incorporate a dressing room into a shower room. in the 20s,when my house was built, the master would not usually have a bath attached but many had dressing rooms with wardrobes and sinks. I did not want my bathroom to look like a bathroom but rather a dressing room from my bedroom. From a Sears kit house plan. these are existing orginal dressing rooms although I did not copy this cool set up I emulated the idea of two closets flanking a sink dressing area. Here is my sink flanked by 60" of wardrobes on each side. My room is 13x8 with Windows on all three exterior walls. 3x6 shower behind the bench could be a shower tub combo easily....See More11' X 23' bedroom layout help please
Comments (6)This is a very awkward layout, especially with a King sized bed (which is going to be at least about 6' wide) Do you REALLY need both closets? Because my suggestion is to close off the closet in the upper left corner of your image entirely and put the back of your bed along that wall. You will have to move the bed quite close to the window side to leave clearance at the entry, so likely no nightstand will fit over there. What does the master bedroom "open into"? Because while I don't like pocket doors or barn doors on bedrooms, if there is enough privacy otherwise this might be a room where it needs one. It will a bit awkward coming in that room, even with the door swing the other way. If you can move the master bedroom door, that would be even better....See Morekirkhall
