I agree that the master bath is awkward. It's small and maze-like, and so many doors (and pocket doors in the wrong places). I think you'll end up pulling your elbows in (people who've been in prison do that, you know, even after they're released from prison) as you walk through. And I agree with you: Sometimes the closet-in-bathroom works, but this isn't one of those cases. One reason is that the closet door and the shower are just too close together. Switch the closet and bathroom /simplify the bath layout so it fits better in the available space -- this closet is slightly larger -- the loser here is the sink; to keep the toilet under the window, the sink has to shrink -- but the circulation between the rooms is greatly improved, and you'll have a great sound barrier between the bedroom and bathroom: Switch the closet and bathroom /reduce the closet a bit so you can still have the large vanity and the toilet is neatly tucked back in a corner -- you're gaining a linen closet IN the bathroom (or that could be turned to the closet as a deep storage spot for out-of-season boxes, suitcases, whatever) -- or you could have a truly massive shower --- of course, you've lost some closet space here; the question is, was it useful closet space? You'd still have roughly 7' of storage down each side:

I would square off the bathroom, no angles, by extending the right hand wall of the bathroom straight down. In that newly created space you could move the shower, add a linen closet, a bidet, or or something else that suits your needs. The catch is that means the walk in closet would need to be accessed from the bedroom not the bathroom. So that depends on your personal preference Also, *because you have the space* I would increase the toilet room by 6", and run the vanities to the edge of the tub

I think you are right about option 1. You will not have enough space for a walkway with the two closets back to back. The second option is better, but it will be hard to use the shower. Here is another idea that may work. Your double vanity could be almost 72 inches wide, shower 3X5. Alcove for toilet 3 X 5. About 7 feet of accessible hanging space and two feet in the corner. The other option would be to find space in your bedroom for a closet. Or I might like to keep the closet 7 to 7 1/2 feet long and make the bath larger. nice sound and light insulation between the bath and bedroom.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the comments/questions. I've uploaded a pic with actual current dimensions. The door must remain on the current wall (which leads to bedroom), and we are keeping both windows as previously mentioned. I wont be keeping anything in the below layout other than the windows so I don't believe dimensions of my current bathroom fixtures are required. I cannot extend the bathroom in any way so the space in the diagram is all that we have. The door can be moved left or right as needed. I am open to removing the tub if the layout is much better without it. Ideally I would like to have a tub (64"x33"), steam shower with bench, double vanity and toilet, and a comfortable walk in closet. I am open to having the closet entrance through the bathroom, as a passthrough, or a door into the bedroom (as it currently is). Note that we will be removing the large corner tub and replacing the vanity, shower, etc. with new fixtures.
