Help! Please review Master Bath Layout!
Comments (12)The shower-tub-toilet locations are the same in both options as they are now, right? Seems like a nice arrangement and those are expensive to move -- so don't move them unless you have to. (Sinks are much easier to move.) I do agree that getting to the bonus room through the master bath is a bit odd -- but that just makes it a private space, not a public one. As you say, great for a nursery, home gym, or second master closet. (I'd love two big ones!) The second option wastes tons of space in the closet! It would look awful unless you have all those doors, and be very expensive to build (and probably annoying to use) if you do have that many doors. But if you kept the second floor plan and squared up the closet in the location closest to the bath, you'd have enough space left over for a sitting area that is open to the bedroom if you like. Even so, I'd still prefer the 1st option. That just looks like it would be nice space to live in....See Morehelp for reconfiguring small master bath with sloped ceiling!

Comments (8)You should really find a qualified design professional to help you. This is really the only way of seeing what options are available for your desired outcome, as they should balance your needs with those required by your local codes. Additionally, you should be aware that any work to accommodate another bathroom may impact finish spaces downstairs while renovations are underway. Best of luck on your project....See Moreplease help with master bath and closet that will open to rear deck
Comments (15)My top item in that category would be a curbless shower. Curbless showers aren't realistic in a remodel. Anyway, the OP doesn't have the necessary space. Even if this weren't true, the OP has already ordered a shower pan, and IF I looked at the right thing, it has a 3 15/16 (might as well say 4") curb. Also, reinforcing the bathroom walls in case you need grab bars Yes, an excellent idea -- but I'd say go ahead and put in the grab bars now /use grab bars for towel rods. It won't take much extra effort, and then it's DONE. ; putting the toilet next to a wall to left or right (i.e. not in the middle of a wall), so you can easily add a grab bar later The toilet's fine where it is. A grab bar can go on the side of the vanity, and the shower can have a wall or a half-wall on the other side of the toilet. Good suggestions on light switches, levers for the sink, etc. Yes, a hand-held shower makes cleaning easier -- true for the body AND the shower itself. Also consider: - Ample niches or shelves in the shower ... put in double what you think you need, and you won't have to deal with bottles on the floor. - A body dryer to eliminate /reduce the need for towels: https://www.tornadobodydryer.com/ - Heated flooring in the bathroom. - Storage at the toilet ... useful for extra toilet paper now and you may need medical supplies at the toilet one day. - Dimable light switches that can serve as night lights. - An outlet behind the toilet since you mentioned a Toto washlet....See Moremary8153
