Help with master bathroom layout
Love the advice I get on here, so I am back for more.
As part of our house remodel, we're moving our laundry room upstairs. We will build a laundry closet off the upstairs hallway, and have the W/D stacked in there. This closet will be "carved out" of existing master bath. So, the master bath needs to be re-jiggered as well. This is where I need some help.
This is what the master bath will look like after the laundry closet addition:
(The future laundry closet is what's creating the cut-out in the upper left corner)
The toilet stays where it is currently, and will end up being in a little nook.
We would like a vanity with two sinks and a walk-in shower. No tub.
The wall to the left of the door opening can accommodate a 60" vanity. I understand that's the minimum for double sinks. In this case, shower goes into the corner in front of the door, and will have a window inside of it. Like this:
Another option is to swap the vanity and shower. This would allow us to have a longer vanity with more counter space. The drawback is that I don't know what to do with the second window. If the vanity is against that wall, I'm assuming there will be a large mirror above it, so the second window will have to go. Another concern with this layout is whether we will constantly bump into the vanity corner on our way to the toilet.
Thoughts?

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 MoreHelp choosing master bathroom layout
Comments (5)@Bri B - I like that one a lot too. I'm leaning toward the 2nd one now though (becuase I can fit a longer bathtub, and it keeps the window in the shower). I don't love the random space left in the corner, but maybe I'll put a tree there?...See More

Is this what you were suggesting, JudyG Designs and suzanne_m?
I've also changed the shower to 36" by 48", just to see if that would work in the space. Is it too big? I'm envisioning a glass-surround, walk-in shower. Should I stick with a cornered surround, rather than a rectangular one?
The only issue I can see with this layout is that now I have to plumb the south wall. Also, that there's a possibility to see oneself in the mirror while sitting on the commode :)
