Master: Bedroom Bathroom Closet Layout
Comments (4)Finally, I got it to post a picture. Original Post: We are struggling with laying out our master bedroom area. It is a small area, about 15'x22'x8'high. The entry into the room cannot move, but the french door that leads out to the backyard can be relocated. We would like to have a double vanity, walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and if possible a soaking tub. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!...See MoreNeed Help with Master Bedroom Bathroom/Bedroom Layout - 1970s house
Comments (5)I like my first idea best as far as use of space. I know people say not to put toilets on an outside wall. We had one in our last house in Iowa, but we had 2X6 construction. I don't know how high your window is, but I'm guessing the toilet would fit under there. The shower would be 5 feet long or shorter if you want a wider space to get to the toilet. (kind of tight the way I have drawn). You could do a 5 and half foot long shower and do an angled door at the left end to allow room between the shower and toilet. The vanity would be about 7 feet long, unless you do a 60 inch vanity with a linen cabinet at the door. I would reverse entry door swing if you do that.. The second top right could work and you would still have a small closet. The bottom left plan would require waterproofing your front window. Hopefully someone will give you other ideas. The bottom right plan is bigger, but no closet. Each square equals 1 foot....See MoreSmall master bathroom and closet design challenge, please help!
Comments (4)I just finished an addition to my twenties home. I tried everything to get a bath and closet with in a 13 x8 ft space but everything felt cramped and instead of having a tight closet and a tight bath with small shower and vanity we decided to add wardrobes to or large bath. I wanted custom but due to an unexpected health issue we scaled back budget and went with IKEA pax wardrobes they hold all of my most worn seasonal clothes and all of my husbands work clothes plus most worn casual wear. I like the reach in better for organization too. We still have the orginal reach in closet and a pine older armoire for extra items in the bedroom but never open it. Could you add wardrobes in the bedroom and have a nice sized bath with additional storage? I really love my large bath after years in this old house with tiny baths and closets. I was unconventional and like keeping my clothes in the bath which has two venting fans. it is my most private from the street area in my room so it is where I change anyway but the wardrobes take up so little space I could have placed them in the bedroom without losing much floor space too. in your second plan you can turn the vanity and make it longer and have the edge abut the shower with a half glass panel and than the door.......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 Moredella70
