How big is your shower?
Comments (5)Mongo, the walls are 5x8, not the shower!! I was thinking a 4x4 shower but the GC thought it would dominate the space too much(The room will be an L shape with the toilet in a little alcove). Vanity opposite the shower on a 12 foot wall. I wish I could add a little floorplan! Will look into Kerdi....See MoreWalk in closet opening, how big is yours?
Comments (4)if two people use the closet, one may be sleeping while the other turns on the light and makes a bit of noise. This may be the only reason for doors. We left doors off. No need to close for privacy ; some need for noise suppression but noise would travel to your partner sleeping anyway... Then later we added small drapes on each side. Beautifies the entrance; allows us to block light and some noise. Doors get in the way. A closet is small to begin with, so why make it smaller? Our opening is 24" -dr...See MoreConflicted big walk-in shower or soaking tub with smaller shower
Comments (32)I wouldn't give up the tub because it really makes the bathroom. I think the Master Bath is more of a master with a soaking tub. I would never give up 2 sinks. It wouldn't be good for our marriage to be fighting over the sink. I like the privacy of the toilet area in your first drawing. I would go with the smaller shower with the tub. I have had a 36" by 36" shower for years. A 6'2' large build husband, who is comfortable in there. We are going to make our new shower 36" x 48" because we have the space. I agree with someone else don't put the bench seat in. I think tile also gives you more space as opposed to a fiberglass surround which adds a couple inches to the interior walls. I considered going into my closet for a 60" shower but I don't think it is worth it. I will make the smaller shower elegant and put top features in it....See MoreHow to convert walk-in shower to shower-tub combo
Comments (5)Plumbing system would also be different as you would need a diverter plus fixtures for a bath and they would think they would all have to work together. I did the opposite (removed tub/shower for a larger shower) and my drain also had to be changed. A bath generally has something that stops water to fill up the bath whereas a shower drains continually....See MoreAmy79
