8’6 x 8’9 bathroom layout

Looking for advice for our master bath renovation. All plumbing will be moved so everything is in the table right now. However, my wife is adamant on a 72 inch vanity and 60x42 shower. Any help is much appreciated! Although lines are not straight, the picture below is to scale. Door is 24” and window ends 56” from corner (top left in picture below). I am willing to move the door.
please help, thanks!

Layout help for 9'3' x 8'6' bathroom
Comments (17)Houseful, I'm overwhelmed! You're so nice to help me with this! What program are you using to generate these, BTW? I talked to my contractor last night and he says that if I put the shower in the front corner (behind the hall door) that I will be able to have a curbless shower. (That area is currently a closet and is a few inches lower than the rest of the bathroom because it doesn't have the big mud bed like the tile bathroom has. ) At first I was loving the first of the two most recent options but then I realized that if someone is standing at the sink closest to the potty it interferes with getting to / using the potty. I am leaning towards having the vanity straight along the left wall, the potty in the back corner on the right, and a big shower behind the door. I liked the size and shape of the 3rd option at the very top, so I tried putting that behind the door and it seems to work nicely. I think it gives me about 3' clearance between the closest point between the vanity and the shower. Is that good? Thanks again for everything! Anita...See MoreBathroom layout help & ideas
Comments (0)I have an ample sized bathroom on my floorplan, but I'm having difficultly finding a layout I like. The interior walls are 10'-4 long by 8'-6 wide. There is a window along one short wall and a door along the other short wall, but the placement of those is flexible. The width can flex by maybe 4" either way. This is for a new construction, so plumbing, etc. can go anywhere. I want to fit a toilet, a 60" tub, a 3x4' shower, and a minimum 4' vanity with a single sink. A linen closet would be nice. All fixture sizes are flexible, but for budget reasons I need to stick with standard sized fixtures. One other consideration is that I am designing the ground floor to be mostly wheelchair accessible. The bathroom doesn't need to be accessible now, but if it could be modified later with a minimum of construction and costs that would be a huge plus. This the best I've come up with, and I don't like it much. Anyone have any better ideas?...See MoreMaster Bathroom layout feedback 9 x 9
Comments (9)If you are set on keeping a separate tub and small separate shower the second is much more accessible. In your first plan you would have less than two feet to squeeze through to fill tub and to get in and out of with out touching the toilet. To be honest I might consider losing the tub if there is another one in the house and go with a nicely sized walk in shower. Even a deep four ft tub is very small for adults. Japanese tubs work well for very petite people but I as a 5'7" woman am never comfortable in them and they are a bear as I age to climb in and out of especially with much less than 3 ft. If it is your only tub in the house I understand wanting to keep one....See MoreMaster Bathroom Layout - Please Criticize
Comments (37)This might be super late, but first I would think maybe you should consider hiring another professional designer, because this layout seems tricky/problematic. Secondly. Is there any way you would combine the soaker tub function so that it can also be a shower? Or minimizing the dimensions of either the shower or soaking tub (I’m thinking of Japanese soaking tubs). I also can’t imagine that if someone looked at this layout, it would do anything for re-sale even if it makes the current owner or you very happy since you’d have to duck and weave just to go from toilet use to washing your hands. As far as minimizing shower dimensions, you could have a standing shower with a glass panel to keep water from straying too far. If you make it curbless, then you can squeeze some extra space out that way for walking in and out of your shower. I imagine your floor will all have to be waterproof anyhow with the freestanding tub. Here’s a very bad drawing using my notes app. 😂 Good luck! The most important thing is that whoever ends up living with this bathroom loves it!...See More
