Add a water closet to master bathroom?
Comments (2)Budget? Do you have a basement / crawl or a slab? Re-configuring the total area, minus the tub, would allow for a bigger closet and an enclosed WC....See MoreMaster Closet - Should I add doors inside?
Comments (12)Speaking as a closet designer the short answer is "No" you don't need it. The long answer is "Yes" if you want it. How big is the closet? I assume your are working with the closet design company? If it is contractor or builder they won't consider the details of the space in terms of clothing width, shoe storage math, handbags. The Rule of Thumb is you need a 24" D Panel cabinet to doors to cover clothes. This takes up way space in the closet so do you have see if you have the room. And then you have to leave a space for the doors to open. And of course the big question is what is your budget? It's not loaded question but one that most people can't answer --because most closet systems are custom cut --so there is not a "set price". A 10 x 12" room with doors over the closet in the most classic white would start at 15 -20K --for slab doors not glass or fancy options. The photos the other person posted (which are gorgeous) are more than likely 25K - 35K + closets. The attached photos are form job being installed. Remember it's not a finished job and not professional (to seduce photos). The client opted for some 24" D cabinets with glass doors, some open sections. This a big space 15" Long on one wall, and the closet itself is a quasi "L" shape. This project is 30K...See Morewould you add an extra wardrobe closet to this master?
Comments (5)I'll add here that I bought a home with literally no closets whatsoever in the nicest bedroom that we wanted to use as the master. It's a quirky space with a bump-out and a floor bulkhead over the stairs, and we took a few months to consider the best strategy (including trying to figure out Pax hacks) before eventually having a custom closet company design something to the space. When we decided to make that investment, we worked with them to create exactly what WE needed to maximize utility -- drawer depth based on what we planned to store in each of the the drawers, hanging height to align with the length of most of our clothes and our own height (my wardrobe is designed for a short person, husband's for a tall person), drawers and doors specified down to the inch to avoid conflicting with our floating nightstands in a tight space. We also spent the little bit extra to get shaker doors and that aligned with our taste. The wardrobes we have now are gorgeous and not too quirky so they would add value for a future owner (if we ever sell, we might be here for the next 50 years), but I'm so glad I got to design them myself around my own priorities and taste!...See MoreMore closet space or add a bath tub?
Comments (21)Sometimes, you just wipe off as much as you can outside and go from there. Thankfully, he's trained to know "get in the tub" means make a beeline! We do have the hand shower in both our shower and the bathtub in question, helps with the bathing/rinsing for sure! (I also think they're handy for cleaning the tub/shower in general, personally.) Our next big project is building a walk-in shower "room" in the basement - unfortunately no space on the first floor near the doors. I guess we could just get smaller dogs, but that'll never happen - we seem to keep going bigger and bigger as the years go by/dogs move in lol...See MoreJAN MOYER
