Need Help with Master Bedroom Bathroom/Bedroom Layout - 1970s house
Comments (5)I like my first idea best as far as use of space. I know people say not to put toilets on an outside wall. We had one in our last house in Iowa, but we had 2X6 construction. I don't know how high your window is, but I'm guessing the toilet would fit under there. The shower would be 5 feet long or shorter if you want a wider space to get to the toilet. (kind of tight the way I have drawn). You could do a 5 and half foot long shower and do an angled door at the left end to allow room between the shower and toilet. The vanity would be about 7 feet long, unless you do a 60 inch vanity with a linen cabinet at the door. I would reverse entry door swing if you do that.. The second top right could work and you would still have a small closet. The bottom left plan would require waterproofing your front window. Hopefully someone will give you other ideas. The bottom right plan is bigger, but no closet. Each square equals 1 foot....See Moremaster bedroom, master closet, master bath, 1/2 bath and laundry
Comments (9)Do you have another bathtub in the house...for bathing kids? Unless you or your spouse enjoy baths...maybe eliminate the tub in the MBA? I am glad I have a linen closet in my MBA. I agree with eliminating the reach-in closets and adding windows. Also think about how you dress; a walk-in closet can hold all the things people used to store in dressers. (You really don't *need* a window in a closet, although Mark gave it one.) I agree with him about losing the (dated) double doors -- and creating an entry, rather than plopping right into the living room. If you'll eat at the kitchen island a lot, consider seating that's not all-in-a-row. It makes conversation difficult....See MoreDesperate Kitchen Layout Help
Comments (163)It’s been a year and a half so I thought it was time to circle back to this thread!! 😂 Letting you all know how our kitchen layout turned out! We ended up making a lot of the layout changes that people in this thread suggested and we are thrilled with how it turned out! It’s hard to imagine what it would have looked like with the original layout. We’ve been moved in for about ten months and really loving it! Thanks everyone for all your input!!...See MoreMaster bedroom and master bath
Comments (13)You have another option for ideas, and a good contractor can help get you to the finish line. https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/400-square-foot-one-bedroom-cottage-560009tcd Set the filter for 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 floor, and scroll through the ideas. I bet you find one you like. If I were Mom, I wouldn't like my bed out in the open where friends might drop by, but I would like a bistro table and chairs in my room if I were bedridden. And a nice view would be nice, but not too open, because I get afraid of the dark as I age. If I were Mom, I would want my bed so far from the toilet. If I were you, I'd want a small kitchenette to heat and refrigerate leftovers. A small laundry closet might come in handy. Look at the designs and see what could work and what you like. Then, see what your contractor thinks. See what Mom thinks. Run it past us if you want. Tell us more about Mom's condition and long term plans....See Morebry911
