Here's one suggestion in a similarly wide closet. Just eliminate the end wall and adjust materials to your budget.

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 MoreLarge & awkward master bedroom needs TLC, new furniture and lay-out
Comments (9)The first thing I notice is the almost total lack of color in your bedroom. It also lacks curtains, and there is very little softness, and a lot of dark and angular furniture. In the inspiration room that Beverly shows there is a definite and very cohesive color scheme, and much more softness to the bedding, and some strong and definite pattern. You might consider buying an area rug you love and taking color and pattern inspirations from that. The art in your room is too small and timid, and I would look for much larger and more colorful art to bring life to this room. A large easy chair in front of the window in a beautiful color and some decorative pillows could also become part of your color scheme. A very spare and modern aesthetic may not give you the warm and cozy vibe you say you're looking for. It might be better to wait until you've bought the furniture you want before asking for advice since I gather everything in the room will be different. The orientation of the bed looks good to me in relation to everything else, including where the door is....See MoreLayout 1 or layout 2? Master bedroom
Comments (5)One idea, since the room seems large enough, might be to plan your room with the objective of turning the bed so the foot of your bed is closer to the windows than the head of the bed -- you'd face the windows as you wake up. https://www.homedit.com/5-diy-practical-headboards/bed-with-headboard-storage-behind/...See MoreLayout Help!

Comments (16)The bathroom is spread out so much ... by simplifying that space, you can get the two separate doors you want, enlarge the closet so you have ample space for the make-up area in the closet. Consider: - The tub and shower work well side-by-side because they're the same depth. - The vanity would be about 8' long, so you could arrange it in multiple ways ... I'd put in a narrow linen tower or closet. - The toilet tucks in behind the vanity ... possibly behind a pony wall, which is so much more functional than the toilet being smashed into a closet. - You have a window as a sight line dead-ahead from the door. - With the bathroom more compact, the closet is enlarged, and the bedroom door now has space to "park" against the wall without covering the closet door. - I placed the make-up area straight ahead of the closet door ... presumably you'll have a large mirror here, and it'll make for a bright sight line upon entering the closet. Since this is placed against the bathroom wall, you could have a small sink here without big expense. - This closet is large and wide, and you could arrange the hanging rods /drawers in any number of ways ... and with all this width, you could have a seating ottoman (with storage inside) in the middle of the closet....See Moreworthy
4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoOur upcoming master closet is 12.5'x13' and mrs. worthy is partial to the style of this one of Oprah's many closets.
The trend is definitely to displaying many items, particularly shoes and handbags.
One of Mariah Carey's closets in her 12,000 sf. Manhattan triplex with some of her 1,000+ pairs of shoes.
These giant closets are not storage but really the distaff version of a guy's dream garage!

4 years agoI think my closet plans fall into the range of "real people". Most of us don't have Oprah-sized closets or the number of shoes owned by -- is that Mariah Cary? Most of us -- even if we had the space -- wouldn't install a custom island topped with granite. After all, as lovely as these spaces are, they're closets.
Here's my inspiration picture -- though at 7' wide x 8' long, my new house closet will be a little bigger than this one:
Specifics that matter to me -- obviously, you'll have way more space and will be able to have more:
- 3' of walking space down the middle of two aisles.
- A pretty light in the middle of the space ... and maybe a couple canned lights on the edges. This is, of course, not important in terms of function, but I want a bit of fancy in the closet.
- Since I am only 4'11", I will shorten my hanging clothes area. I want matching hangers.
- Plenty of folded space -- we are on the cusp of retirement and won't need lots of dress clothes. Plus we want no dresser in the bedroom, so we want space for EVERYTHING in the closet.
- A couple built-in drawers for unmentionables.
- Space for roughly 30 pair of shoes for me, 10 pair for him -- plus several pairs of boots for the two of us -- but our footwear doesn't need to be showcased as if they were something special.
- A few attractive baskets up top for "boxing up" traveling items, purses, out of season items, etc.... and a planned space for a step stool since I want to access those baskets.
- My inspiration pix shows wallpaper on the back wall, but I'll probably paint something pretty with a stencil. I have a round mirror, which I plan to repurpose on the back wall ... and I want a shelf underneath it, which can hold jewelry, etc.
- A fluffy rug in the middle of the closet.
- A valet rod on each side of the closet for "hanging out" church clothes.
- One narrow "open locker" at the doorway on each side ... with a couple hooks. This will be for clothes that we plan to wear again ... a once-worn nightgown, workout clothes, or jeans. This'll keep them separate from the "completely clean clothes".
