Master bathroom/closet layout
Comments (6)What is the purpose of the wall unit in the hallway that leads to the bedroom door? I got rid of that, so if it's necessary, you can simply ignore my plan. There are a few things I did: 1) As stated, I got rid of the wall unit in the hallway outside the bedroom door. It does a few things, one of them is increasing your closet space which was one of your complaints. Though I didn;t move it in my rendition, whatever that shelving thing is in the closet, I'd put it on the right closet wall, opposite the "tie rack". 2) I moved the actual bedroom door out to the front of that hallway. Moving the door further away from the bed will help isolate kitchen sounds from transmitting to the sleeping area. 3) I moved the closet entry from the bathroom into that same hallway that is now inside the bedroom. It brings your closet closer to the laundry and increases the usable space in the bathroom. 4) In the bedroom, I lengthened your wall unit that is opposite the bed. I lengthened it on both ends. This made it symmetrical with the bed, and to a slight extent the added storage here may make up for the loss of the wall unit I deleted in the former hallway. 5) I got rid of the double doors into the bathroom. 6) In the bathroom, I moved things around. It's not perfect, but this five minute revamp provides you with a: - larger shower - pony wall to partially hide the toilet - toilet next to a vanity - laundry near the bathroom entry door - the option of a slightly longer vanity It may not be what you're looking for, but it's another perspective.

Comments (6)I like the larger bathroom, but I think the doors conflict and it is nice to have them open into the closet. I'd do a good pocket door into the bathroom to avoid more conflict although it could open against the wall next to the sink. You do loose more closet storage, but corners aren't all that valuable in a closet. You could fit a lot of clothes in there by double hanging rods. That would save some money over the Pax system. Plus your closet now seems more separate from the bathroom by extending the wall. Here is another idea for the main bath. My daughter has stacked washer and dryer and is short, but uses the arrangement well. You have plenty of room in front of the W/D to get clothes in and out. The toilet is off to the side. The vanity could be 72 inches with 2 sinks. The bonus is the door would open up against the tub and the room would feel more open. The laundry would be easily accessible without the bathroom door being in the way. Folding laundry in the laundry room is overrated. I had a nice space for folding laundry in our 1 st house with a window to look out. I usually took the laundry to the TV area and sat down on the floor to fold....See Moremaster closet in master bathroom yes or no and why?
Comments (86)I much prefer the closet off the bath and easy access from the closet to the laundry. Ours is a walk though closet approx 15' x 7' 6". Doors opposite each other giving DH a space of a bit more than 5' x 7'6" and I have about 7' x 7' 6" on my end, so basically two decent sized, but not overly large walk in closets sharing a 3' walk through between the bath and my office (but steps from laundry). DH slept in this morning. I showered and got ready for the day, put up laundry, and dried a load of towels and put them up all without disturbing DH. During the day, I most frequently access the closet and master bath from my office. Very convenient....See MoreMaster Bathroom Layout help!
Comments (19)So, the house that we are redoing is an old 1960's house with a newer addition. The old master was bedroom 1, but the previous owners added a new addition as the new master with giant windows facing towards the front and bathroom visible from driveway. We do not like this layout of having a master off the living area. That room also has the best view, so we'd like it to be an area that we can entertain guests. We're doing a complete gut, modernizing the roofline, moving stairs, and and increasing square footage on the second level. The existing second floor has very low 7.5ft ceilings with a mansard roof with no insulation or attic area. Therefore, the closet areas are all sloped. Here is the floor plan. We're just trying to tweak bathroom and kitchen layouts. We figure bedroom 3 would be for a small child and once they grow up - they can move to the first floor if they would like more privacy. Guests would all be staying in the first floor. ....See Morejust_janni
