Need help with master bedroom/bathroom redesign
So our master bedroom, bathroom, and closet are very small. We are trying to find a way to make everything bigger. I have an idea (I will post in a reply) but I want to see if there are other options that anyone else can think of. The blue area is the current master bedroom, bathroom, and "walk-in" closet. The plan is to grab part of the hall bathroom (yellow highlight), possibly part of the furnace room that doesn't look like it is being used (pink highlight), and as a last resort turn the little porch area into a covered extension of the house (green highlight).
I absolutely hate the wasted space of the little hallway when we enter the room. It is such a waste of space when space is what we need. We want to keep the bedroom location where it is because there are big beautiful windows out front that we want to keep and it doesn't make sense to have those in a bathroom.
Any thoughts?

6 years agoHere is my first shot at it. Input would be appreciated. This doesn't change the size of the bedroom sadly, but gives us more closet space (which we REALLY need) and a master bath that has both a shower and tub that seems to be necessary in master bathrooms these days.

Comments (17)You are going to want more than 32" for the toilet. 36" is standard (and perhaps even code in some areas???? Not here in Maine but I heard people saying that on other forums...) We have 34" and it feels fine but I dont think I'd want to go much tighter. You could solve that simply by flipping the closet and shower. So, have your shower -rotated 90 degrees and witha glass end wall- at the end of the tub (which is a nice setup you can see in many bathrooms, the tub deck can actually protrude under the shower glass wall and be a ledge or seat in the shower). Then the passageway moves to the left, and you can steal a bit of space from the other closet for the toilet. Either that of have a shorter vanity. 48" isn't a size I'd fight for. It's too short for a double vanity, really (unless you're using one of the new two-faucet 'trough" styles) so why not go down to 42" and have a better toilet area? For resale, though, you should consider a double vanity. Some people I guess expert truly huge ones, like at least 5+' long. But you CAN get smaller ones, Ikea has some great ones for tight spaces. But if you're not selling anytime soon, do what YOU like!! (But I still think you'll want more toilet space...)...See MoreMaster Bedroom : Bathroom Help
Comments (10)How luck you'd be if your tile was that nice soft tone of pink but often 1950's pink tile is much more bold or pinky beige and usually there is a whole mess of it. Here is a link to pink baths on Pinterest, some with the 1950's pink tile. Maybe you'll see something that inspires you. Maybe post a pic of your bath and tile? This may be a softer pink than your tile, but they really embraced it - I don't think it's tile, but you could carry the pink up the wall and onto the ceiling even, like this: or this with dark gray walls Maybe look for some really bold wallpaper that will take dominance over the tile... There is also a blog called Save the Pink Baths that you may want to look at. Here is a link that might be useful: pink baths...See MoreHelp with Master Bedroom/Bathroom color!
Comments (11)Fun comforter. How does it "read" at a distance? I see some blue but more of a periwinkle on my monitor. Some paint companies have really good computers (or actually people) that can actually match it if you can take in a piece of the set that has the blue you want for your walls....See MoreLooking for design help with Master Bathroom and bedroom

6 years agoI would put the door to your master bedroom off the entry foyer. That would get rid of the hallway you dislike and allow more room for your closet/bathroom.
