Love the bed. Is that from Crate and Barrel? (If so, I was eyeing that for years before my significant other voted for wood instead of upholstered.) I think you could go either dark stained furniture for some contrast or you could go with something light to keep the overall color scheme very neutral and light. It really depends on what you want the overall room to look like. I personally love dramatic dark wood with lighter paint and upholstery, but what have now also looks very neutral and soothing. I am always for additional storage in a master bedroom. If I had a seating area to eliminate to expand my closet, I would. I would not eliminate storage or lose a window in order to have a seating area. Your proposed layout seems to take up quite a bit of floor space. Will there even be enough space to walk past the bed to access the proposed sitting area and closet door?

@nini804 -- thanks, that was my exact thought. It may not be a big deal for us but future buyers may want a bigger master. Since my original post, I've been playing around with the layout even further. Tried a few different layouts/arrangements while keeping the sq footage within 10-15 sf of the original drawing. Attached are 3 different variations (subtle differences) of what I am leaning towards -- again different from the original post. Would like to hear any thoughts/feedback... - First Picture: A couple of 3' openings (no doors) from bedroom to walk-in-closet (WIC). With WIC opened up, all clothing/storage will be behind PAX or some sort of cabinet / doors. NOTE: a variation of this plan could be provide sliding doors for the openings (instead of no-door) and this way all of the cabinets do not have to be covered with PAX/cabinetry. Still exploring my options. - Second Picture: Almost identical as the first picture -- except, WIC is opened up to the bedroom with no doors/wall. WIC & bedroom are separated with an island. This may be a bit dramatic -- making the master suite feel even bigger than it already is. It may also provide a great flow. With this option, ALL clothing/shelving will have to have PAX/cabinetry on it. - Third Picture: Bathroom door is from the bedroom, instead of the closet. ^^ This allows me to gain 3' of extra closet space. I am showing an entry door to the closet but similar to First/Second picture, I may have a couple of openings or no door/wall and just open up the entire area to the bedroom. Thoughts / feedback?

Lindsay- No, we are not working with an architect. That is not in the budget. The state I live in doesn’t require a licensed architect to build. We found a plan that we liked online and worked with a drafter to amend it some to connect the laundry to the closet. The Positions of the rooms haven’t changed from the original plan. The window in the closet is a transom not a full window. We actually had a window in the middle of the wall in our last walk in and it was just fine. We had more than enough room. There really is no way to make the plan perfect without working with an architect, but that’s not going to happen. :( My last house also didn’t have the laundry on an outside wall. I would love to have worked with an architect, unfortunately we didn’t. Thank u and please if u see anything else let me know. I have a list to take to the builder for tweaks. Hoping to break ground soon. A S - that is my issue with this plan. No full wall for the bed. I’m open for layout changes as we haven’t started the build yet. This was the best that we found that worked for us after I squashed the two story that we liked, but I didn’t like the flow of the interior. This plan is very similar to the house we just sold, but the laundry was on the other side of the house on that one and I really think that’s whats making the master weird. bpath- I will take a look at that idea. Here is what the original plan looked like.

Years ago I had an apartment with this problem. I got a bunch of covered Target free standing racks and made covers for them in nice fabric. https://www.target.com/p/whitmor-supreme-clothes-closet-white/-/A-52273623#lnk=sametab Some are so nice, you don't have to make a cover (but this one has more shelves than room to hang - you'll have to get on the internet and do a little searching). Use the words: free standing clothes racks. https://www.target.com/p/home-basics-storage-closet-with-shelving-grey/-/A-81171466#lnk=sametab
