Master bath in new home - input please!
Comments (13)Is this totally new construction or a renovation? Trying to figure out if some parts of it are locked in place or already there. IMO, the linen closet is the wrong shape - narrow and deep instead of the usual shallow but wide. The things in back are going to constantly be blocked by the things in front. Unless you fold your towels and sheets so they're nearly 3 feet long. The "do I need a tub" thing has been debated here and elsewhere ad nauseum. It's never settled, because some people insist on a tub, some are fine without one as long as there's a tub in another bathroom, and some never take baths and don't want a tub at all. The last group is large enough that I don't think you won't be able to sell your house. That said, I like to at least leave some space that could potentially be allocated to a tub if renovated, so that buyers that want a tub can add one (the cost of renovation is tiny compared to cost of a house). I wouldn't personally want a bathroom without a two-person shower and a two-person tub, but that's just me. Well, me and somebody else. But there are enough that don't mind not having a tub that I wouldn't fret about it. I do like doors on a shower though even in warm climates - it keeps the steam in and avoids drafts, which I find comfortable. Certain types of textured doors look clean for a long time without being washed. I'd consider a decent-sized folding seat that you can pull down for sitting or as a leg rest when needed; the rest of the time you get extra space. I'd also prefer a linear/trench drain at the end rather than a center drain, because drains always feel uncomfortable under my feet. The no-step to get in the shower thing is great - be sure the entire bathroom floor is ever so slightly sloped towards the shower. Mopping the floor clean will become a snap, and you'll be immune from flooding should something spring a leak. The triangular medicine cabinets seem odd or impractical to me, but they may work....See MoreNeed suggestions master bath remodel - marble look & vanity color
Comments (1)Go to the better tile showrooms in your area; they will have plenty of options and sizes for your project. Once you start liking a tile line, it's easy enough to pull the rest of the elements together; but you need to see what's appealing to you in person....See MoreMaster Bath remodel complete
Comments (5)Thanks! The tub is from MTI. There is an oval one and a rectangular one, but I didn't have space for the rectangular one. I was looking for something basic, and it wasn't exorbitantly expensive, compared to some. https://mtibaths.com/products/tubs/basics/MBOFSX6636A/...See MoreInput on master bathroom remodel (adding washer/dryer)
Comments (10)Just a couple things I'd like if I were doing this. can you straighten the wall with the door? I'd bring that wall straight and enlarge the bathroom by that foot. The shower for me is too long at 7', unless you will be double showering. I have a 5' long shower and that is plenty. I have French glass doors on my shower that are 28" each wide and span the 58" space (60" rough space) nicely. You may not even need a door on the size you are working with. I would want a small sink in the toilet room. I don't know why that isn't done more often. I recently actually saw a commercial install done this way with their 2 toilet stalls, and a sink in the main room. "Thats what I'm talking about". Put an outlet in the toilet room in case you want an advanced toilet seat. You are probably aware, and may currently have,. tempered glass in the window at the shower/tub. You might need a louvered door on the laundry closet, so makeup air gets in easily for the dryer. If you are doing the whole room, I'd like to see what it would look like with the vanities at the window wall, and the shower and laundry at the wall where the vanities are now. It might not be possible, considering the scope of your project. But it would be fun to draw it up just to see. This plan would shrink the shower, and may not be what you'd want. With a smaller shower, there will be less issues with planning for doors. The window wall could allow for a full vanity with much more storage and counter space for folding. Also you could put in a pull out draw for hanging things, and a pull out draw/ironing board. I also don't like the shower in the location, because thats what you see when you walk in the room, and the person showering. The window in the shower blocks access to the woods and window IMO. if it was part of the counter, you are closer and feel more connected to the woods....See Morebac717
