Need help with layout of master and common bathroom
Comments (4)I do not take baths more than once a year so I asked a realtor if a shower only master was an ok situation in my area and she said yes if I had a larger walkin shower and another tub elsewhere in the house. So I added a large jetted walk in shower only in my addition. If you love baths than I would do a small walk in shower and separate tub not a combo. Most adults do not want to climb in and out of a tub/shower combo now a days. You could also decide is closet space more important than a five piece or maybe do a single sink to gain square ft space for both a tub and shower. i would think if you change the closet to 11x8.5 and the bath to 11x13 you can get everything you want.......See MoreNeed help with master bath layout
Comments (17)Actually... It's 91" wide. It's actually okay as long as you get true sink vanities, which are only 21" deep generally without the counter and about 22" with. Can't use kitchen cabinets though. I forgot about the difference. Duh. With 32" tub and shower, that leaves 37" clearance from her plans to the vanilty, which is fine. Down to a 24" clearance just in front of the toilet is to code and 27" is fine for just that area. My plan, with tub to left of door, allows for a nice 6' tub and a shower that is 55x36, which is more usable and way more luxurious than a tub and shower that are 32x60. You can deck mount a faucet at the end of the tub. Refining the plan, under the window would go an extra narrow (18") built in hamper/cabinet to give plenty of room for the shower and tub. The toilet would be against the LEFT wall, not the front wall. Then you could do a U shaped counter with 48" of cabinet front on the left wall and 66" on the back, plus fillers. Minimum clearance in whole bathroom would be 36" from hamper counter edge to bath tub and slightly more from toilet rim to tub filler pony wall. My plan gives a 3' tub entrance and shower entrance....See MoreNeed help with master bathroom layout, hard to put shower & storage
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 MoreNeed Help w/ Master Bathroom Layout
Comments (5)live_wire_oak & Sina Sadeddin Architectural Design: Playing with layouts if we move the closet next to the bedroom. We could add a hallway will lead past the closet and to the bathroom. Now, how would you carve up the space for the bathroom? It's 13' x 8 1/2' with an extra bump out that is about 8' x 3'. The top left corner is the hall bath. I want a water closet, large shower, and plenty of vanity space (could be 1 or 2). I had considered a linen closet, but I could manage without it as long as the vanities were ample. I don't want a bathtub....See Morethinkdesignlive
