Master bath and closet layout help
Comments (14)I prefer that closets be accessed from the bedroom, rather than the bathroom, because I find that more convenient and I donâÂÂt want moisture getting in the closet. I like walk-in closets to be 7' wide, because that allows 2' down each side for hanging clothes (or shelves, drawers, etc.), with a 3' aisle in between (comfortable for walking, but not a lot of wasted space in the middle). I use the space at the narrow end opposite the door for shelves or a shelf and drawer combo, so you donâÂÂt have hanging clothes running into each other on the corners. This is a quick sketch, not to scale. You would need to adjust the door and window locations. I didnâÂÂt draw in the doors for the toilet room, closet, shower, etc. The closet has a 7' x 12' interior. The shower would be about 8' long, and 4-6' wide, depending on your preference. (You can shrink the length of the shower if you want more closet space.) I show a free-standing tub under the window, but deck-mounted would also work. The vanity could run the whole length of the closet wall or be shorter. You could include storage tower(s) with the vanity. The vanity could also move to the wall opposite the closet wall, depending on what door placement works best from the bedroom side. There are a few open spaces where you could add shelves or closed cabinets for storage or display. If you prefer to enter the closet from the bathroom, I can move some elements around. You could have doors into the closet from both rooms, but would lose some storage space in the closet....See Morewet room with free-standing tub
Comments (1)Well, the pictures didn't load.. And, disclosure, I don't have a wet room...but I think they're a great way to have a tub and shower in a space that otherwise wouldn't allow for them (if you don't want the shower in the tub). From what I understand, it will feel cold...both because of the size of the space, and also because you will only have a panel....so I would do lots of research on the best heating for that kind of room.....See Morefree-standing tub
Comments (2)I was just searching for the same thing! Did you ever get a tub that works? We are having our master bath remodeled and have been searching for a good freestanding tub. We have had a great jacuzzi for 33 years and figure we should replace it when we do this remodel. I hope you found what works for you....See MoreFree-standing bath tub
Comments (2)Tub and aging in place doesn't generally go together and a free standing tub is probably the antithesis because it is even harder to get in and out of than a standard tub where you can perch on the ledge and swing your legs around. Most seniors who want to age in place replace the tub with a large walk in shower - even if it has a curb it is generally fine so long as there is a grab bar at the entrance to balance when going over the curb. In my experience with seniors very few of them are in wheel chairs and so a shower with curb is fine. You can have the curb made relatively low and narrow and still have it act as a curb When a senior reaches the point of not being able to safely navigate a curb they generally have some kind of health care attendant to help with showering - Medicare actually pays for that kind of assistance if it is medically necessary. There are some spry seniors on this forum who take baths in their senior years but not in a free standing tub which is particularly hard to navigate in and out of since it is higher and there are no grab bars to assist. I personally know of two people who were trapped in their tubs - one for a few days before rescue and the other only for a relatively short period of time because she had her cell phone. Both were traumatized....See Morelivingreen2013
