Master bathroom layout help please!
Comments (5)Off the top of my head is below: (all the doorways are shown as 'openings' because of the limitations of ikea planner - could def put doors in!) - Create a small hallway from the bedroom (that has lots of room for storage) where you either turn left into the closet or turn right into the bathroom - spacious water closet (with a window on the left wall) - room for two vanities (nearly 7' of space for the vanities) - 4x5' shower - alcove for the tub (to face the window - assuming that can still go on the left wall) Bath only floor plan crooked 3D view =) Overlaid on house floor plan...See MoreHelp with floor plan / layout of a step down room and bathroom doorway
Comments (5)Can you identify the problem you want solved? You've described the situation, but not what the problem is. Is it the two steps into the bonus room? Or that you have to step down then up? If that's the problem, can you change the bathroom door to open into the main house? Or, create a small hallway to the bathroom from the main house; walk in straight, turn immediately left into the bathroom. That would require the small platform you say you don't have room for, but it would only be about 4' square....See MoreMaster Bathroom remodel - looking for layout help
Comments (26)Thanks for the additional comments! There really is no room to make the door wider as the 2 closets are adjacent to the bathroom (basically there is a short hall from the bedroom with walk-in closets on each side. The bathroom door is basically as wide as that hall will allow (given 3.5" trim on either side of the door). I'm not sure about removing the water closet - guessing my husband would not approve :). However, I will not rule it out. I just would not want it to negatively affect resale down the road (all houses in the neighborhood have the water closet). I actually have a vanity mirror attached to the wall from the previous owners - I really don't wear a lot of makeup so don't really use it. Mascara, blush, eye shadow - that's it! I"m torn about the free-standing versus drop-in tub. I really love the look of the free-standing but I'm leaning towards the drop-in due to the various pros/cons listed in various threads. Thanks!...See MoreMaster Bathroom Layout - Floor Plan Included
Comments (6)Well, now this is my own personal preference, but I do not want to walk past 11‘ of hangers and kaleidoscope of color and texture and shoes (and unless you stage your closet every single day I can’t imagine it looking like the guy‘s closet in 9 1/2 weeks or the Container Store elfa flyer) to get to the bathroom. So, I’d keep the double doors (this is rare for me!) but be sure that if just the right side is open, it’s wide enough to pass through comfortably. And then I’d make two closets on either side of a central hall. I wouldn’t bring them out as far as they can go, give yourself some breathing room, space to come out and twirl around in the hall a bit, under the solatubes. I might even make them reach-ins, so that the whole area can be a dressing room. Because really, if you had walk-ins you’d mainly use the back wall anyway. Maybe make them a little deeper than standard reach-in so that you can use the side walls for hooks and racks for accessories. But you want room in the open to see how you look....See Moreverdero
