Lighting in master bathroom and walk=in closet
Comments (1)You should have at least one ceiling light in the bathroom. (possibly two especially if you read in there) In the closet I'd recommend one 3 bulb fixture in the center. For the bedroom a ceiling fans in the center. Here's a few ideas....See MorePlease help with floorplan - master closet and bathroom.
Comments (43)SummitStudios-Yes. What I really wanted was a 1.5 story, but at least in my area, they are the most expensive build. My husband really wanted our oldest’ room above the garage. My kids are 7,10, and 11 now, so we really need good spaces for them (I hate the small kids bedroom trend). The most practical thing was the one story with a fully finished basement. Deciding to move the oldest’room to the basement also made the exercise room move to the main floor. I think it will be nice. The view from that corner will be awesome and we can get more enjoyment from windows on 2 sides of that room that 2 sides of the master. Our flip home only has one small window in the master, so the wall of windows/door in the new build should be a huge improvement. Although I don’t have a huge desire for yons of light coming in my master! DevotedDame-Thank you for your ideas. I am just hoping that I can take some out of the box ideas and join them with what the draftsperson comes up with. I do realize I am asking for something complicated. But it seems to me that I should try to make it work before giving up on things that I have wanted....that haven’t really changed from my want list over the last 6-9 months....See MoreNeed help with master bathroom layout, hard to put shower & storage
Comments (17)Thanks everyone for the suggestions! There are good points in all the options. I think it over and over, even though I like the previous option #1 a lot, I realized the TV wall is a concrete wall, so cannot move the door open that way. I try to be more realist, like you said budget-wise and if I sell this unit in the future, they are likely don't need a hug amount of closet space. So I think I will make the shower room bigger and make lots of movable wardrobe units. I'm not sure what would be the best way to fit the pink wardrobe unit in the image below, I don't want the room to feel smell or separated: Option A - I feel the bed is close to the pink wardrobe might make it feel close to the wall, but the good thing is the room doesn't feel separated. Option B - The bed doesn't feel very close to the wall but the room feels separated with the pink wardrobe and created hallway which I feel it waste the space. Any other potential options? I like @damiarain 's idea of making it a big single sink and some draws on the side - I want to have a one piece vanity top with sink (not undercount), seems hard to find people to make it. @Flo Mangan I was looking for those closet lift, they all seem to be manual (could be quite heavy) on the market, do you know if there is an automate one?...See MoreMaster Bathroom / Closet Redesign Suggestions
Comments (18)Here are some ideas. I know you didn't ask about this, but my sister had a cat-walk like you do that was open to the living room below. They built a floor and created a gameroom/bonus space. It was the least complicated thing they did to their house because they were also doing kitchens and bathrooms. The only little complication was that they had to raise the windows because they would have been far too low if they left them alone. It was a great improvement because of the bonus space, but it also made the living room below much more cozy and intimate. They were able to get rid of the 2-story hanging ceiling fan and install a beautiful light fixture instead in the living room. People actually use the living room more now than they used to. They didn't put doors on their bonus space but you certainly could. If you eliminate the lowest left-hand window in bedroom, you can install 30" custom closets that are reach in above and drawers below. If you get rid of the fireplace, you have more layout options. I put the long-hanging closet in the space where the bumpout and window are. It's true that windows in closets are not ideal bc the sun will ruin your clothes, but you could put a black-out blind on it. I put 2 options in this drawing, but it's such a large bathroom, you have a several viable options. I drew 2 that keep the toilet and shower plumbing in place. One of the options I drew would require moving the tub plumbing. Your bathroom is so large, you could have a linen/laundry cabinet in there in addition to tub, shower, vanity and toilet room. I love my linen and pull-out laundry. It's styled like a dining room hutch with a piece of countertop material and with the top portion stepped-back like a hutch would be. My cabinet builder made the pull-out laundry side look like drawers, to create symmetry, but they are fake drawers. I'm not a pro, so I'm sure others on here who are real pros will come up with better ideas....See MoreSTUDIO MB
