What are your goals for the closet? That might shake some posters out of the trees. Personally, I'd do double doors, maybe even split half way up, so you have upper and lower double doors. OK, while I'm dreaming, bottom half would be a laundry bin. Top half storage. The way the tile is cut is problematic. AO may be able to get you a similar color in octagon and dot. Otherwise, what about buying white octagon and dot, then painting with color-matched epoxy paint before you grout? Alternatively, a clever threshold (clever because It would have to project out a bit into the room bc of that unfortunate tile cut) could bridge the space into the closet. You could get the threshold made out of anything that looks simpatico to your overall bath; marble is common, or black granite, travertine, painted or stained wood (easier to shape and cut into place!). If you did that, no need to match tile for the closet floor. In that case I'd get floor paint and paint the closet floor a color that gets along with your tile. I have a closet in my bath and the depth makes it difficult to get full use of the space in it. We use a lot of bins and trays, so we can pull them out and get what we want, or access less frequently used items stored behind them. That tile, by the way, is a beautiful, distinctive color. It may be harder to work with than many of the white tile bathrooms you see here, but I hope you keep it. It looks great! (And best of all, it doesn't look like a million other bathrooms.)

It's big, but if you have the space... I think you can always find stuff to put in a closet, I'm struggling with what to do with a laundry room that big. Either way, I think you are looking at a bunch of storage. I'd rather have it as part of my closet than laundry room (but that could depend on what sort of other storage the house has... like does it already have a linen closet,basement,big garage,etc) Even an 8x8.5 laundry room (what you'd be left with if you took out 2+3+2) is pretty good sized Regardless, I like the idea of laundry connected to but separate from the master closet. We are building a 19x12 closet, certainly more than we "need." We'll use to get rid of storage furniture (dressers, etc) in the bedroom itself for a cleaner more open feel and offload our overflowing linen cabinet and just have the kid's stuff in there.

Yes, that plastic rough in box w/ the valves and drain integrated that is recessed into the wall. How far above the finished floor is the bottom of this box? Under normal situations, with the laundry box built into the wall, the nearest that I can determine is that you need 30.5" of space. 28'' for the washer plus space for the drain hose with only about 1/2" of 'wiggle room'. (Assuming the drain hose is the same diameter on the new washers as my 7 yr. old SQ which appears to be approx. 1.5" diameter.) If the SQ won't work, you can go to AJ Madison's web site and do a search for a washer that will fit. Adjust the search filter using the washer depth function.

@cd7733 This is the old layout. We added a 30x30 addition to a Cape Cod. @Lindsey_CA Yes, it is pretty big. We are a family of seven. We have a 9 foot table that opens to 12 feet. We didn’t want to have to scoot around it on holidays/parties when more people were in there. When we took down the wall between the old kitchen and the old dining room, we just ended up with a really big room but it works for us. We put two accent chairs and a table on the end near the window and the other end had built-ins. @Mark Bischak Besides the dining room, which spaces do you think are too big? Our architect was going off of sizes that we told him we’d like to maintain in the rebuilt house. I definitely think the two bedrooms are too small and I don’t love the angled wall. Any ideas on how to get two bedrooms and a bath in there?
