You are going to want more than 32" for the toilet. 36" is standard (and perhaps even code in some areas???? Not here in Maine but I heard people saying that on other forums...) We have 34" and it feels fine but I dont think I'd want to go much tighter. You could solve that simply by flipping the closet and shower. So, have your shower -rotated 90 degrees and witha glass end wall- at the end of the tub (which is a nice setup you can see in many bathrooms, the tub deck can actually protrude under the shower glass wall and be a ledge or seat in the shower). Then the passageway moves to the left, and you can steal a bit of space from the other closet for the toilet. Either that of have a shorter vanity. 48" isn't a size I'd fight for. It's too short for a double vanity, really (unless you're using one of the new two-faucet 'trough" styles) so why not go down to 42" and have a better toilet area? For resale, though, you should consider a double vanity. Some people I guess expert truly huge ones, like at least 5+' long. But you CAN get smaller ones, Ikea has some great ones for tight spaces. But if you're not selling anytime soon, do what YOU like!! (But I still think you'll want more toilet space...)

ADA or Universal Design has come a long way. My entire house is UD and with the exception of extra space in a few places and some grab bars in the bathrooms you'd never know.

Omg mdln, I love love love that. Love. I don't think the designers looked outside too much as what they thought would be a 5 ft vanity would actually be a 4 ft vanity due to the jut out. I'll have to take a look outside and some measurements. Thank you for this pic! bevelyfla- we currently walk through the br to get to the closet, it's all good here. As robo said of her area, it's typical for this area as well. Thanks for the other layout idea. crl-I agree with having the shower a bit further away as to not wake up the other one. rockybird- we have to tape it out to see exactly how we will be able to move in the space. I don't want it to be tight considering it is such a large area. Thanks palimpsest! Great tweaking!

Thank you for all of your input. Happy New Year! Here are your answers: If we stay on course with the proposed plan, there will be one shared bathroom on the main floor plus one in the master bedroom. The basement will have a small full bath. There are three kids ages 3,8,12, youngest and oldest are boys. Here is the full plan excluding the basement. This is a bungalow and there is no powder room. If we build as below, is there a better configuration for the master ensuite? Should I put the toilet in an enclosure? Maybe with a sink?
