Master Bath / Closet Layout Design Help
Comments (9)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...See MoreNew Build Advice Needed - window in my master bedroom closet?
Comments (27)Thank you so much everyone. This is so helpful! The window would be on the wall nearest to the outdoor stairs down. It is facing south to the backyard and woods behind the house. But after seeing Mark Bishak’s comment and photos I don’t think I have any room for a window. It looks like there will be a lost of wasted space because of all the corners I have....See MoreHELP with master bath and closet design!!
Comments (12)You could try turning your shower 90 degrees and putting it on the top of your bath, flipping the closet and accessing it from the dresser location, turning the powder room 90 degrees, and having the mudroom connect to that hall. you may have space for a small closet in the mudroom or in the hall. your end up with a smaller master closet though....See MoreMaster Bath/Closet Design Advice!
Comments (18)Lots and lots of MBs don't have toilet rooms. I prefer them, but we didn't have one in our last house and it was fine bc we had a lock on the door, and an agreement regarding privacy and the other person using a different bathroom. In our current bathroom there's no lock on the main door; just a lock on the toilet room door. A lot of people hate toilet rooms anyway; you do have to put a separate exhaust fan in there, so that's extra cost as well. So if you don't have the space for one, it's no biggie. You can still accomplish your above stated goals of a 6' double vanity, good sized shower, closet space and clearance for walking. One note about the "space for drying off." We dry off inside the shower. If you think you're going to be dripping all over your new floors, ask your contractor to waterproof the floor outside the shower to about 3 or 4 feet. We did this in all our bathrooms when we remodeled them bc they are used by kids. It costs almost nothing in terms of the amount you are spending to remodel....See Morecpartist
