How should I layout my Master Bathroom?

We are building a new Master bathroom from scratch - see the floor plan below and the highlighted area. How should I layout the Master bathroom? I've tried a few different options, but nothing seems right. The room is 13'-1" wide and 11'-5" deep, and the window sill is about 18" off of the ground. Also, the door from the bedroom can be adjusted/relocated!

Which of these three bathroom layouts should I choose?
Comments (8)Thanks everyone for your responses! techiestar: Great idea on the towel rack, and thanks so much for the photo! Much appreciated catherini: Yes, to tub or not to tub is quite a dilemma. I think I'm going to stick with the tub. Who knows? Maybe someday I'll need to soak with Epsom salts. coolbeans: I agree, I won't do #2. debbiejoy: Totally agree about having natural light in the bathroom. I'm going to switch option #3 around so that the bath is on the other wall. That way, I can have as big a window as I want. (Yes, we are putting a new window in, so we can have whatever size we like.) sandiandjerry: Yikes! I didn't notice that!!! The last thing I need is the bathroom door opening to reveal the (ta da!) toilet. mongoct: Bingo! That is precisely what I'm going to do. - - - - Again, thanks so much. Problem solved! Yaaaaaaaaay for this forum!!! (I don't know how I ever lived without it!)...See MoreI would like to slightly alter my master bathroom plan
Comments (5)If I understand correctly, you want to swap the tub and his vanity, and turn his vanity 90 degrees? Do you have the space? It looks like you have about 9.5'. If the tub is 6' long, that leaves 42". If your vanity is on the small side at 18", you've left just 2 feet for him to stand in front of his vanity. That's too small even for me, who finds the "minimums" too big most of the time. And obviously, you don't want to NOT turn his vanity, because then he's looking at a window instead of a mirror....See MoreHelp with the master bathroom layout in my floor plan
Comments (21)assuming (until I see the original floor plan) that the bathroom set up / location is pretty much set -- move door to bath down to bottom of image, make vanity a one-vanity / two sink option to the top of the doorway, move window over the 12 inches you say you can move it, put tub down by exterior, shower next, and toilet to the top. Use frosted glass on the window, and set it higher, and maybe narrower, for privacy. Depending how you work on the exterior view of the house, it does not have to match the other windows. It's not like your house is symmetrical to begin with. (As a possibility, you could make the window on the right side of the door match - without frosting - what you need to do with the Master Bath one?)...See More***How would you layout this Master Bathroom??***
Comments (4)For whatever it's worth, I'd slide the tub, window, and vanity closer to the shower (smaller vanity), then move the toilet to the upper right-hand corner (facing down), sans water closet. Then I'd use the entire wall by the closet as storage and/or vanity (primping) space and/or laundry (folding? ironing? hamper?) space. An inaccurate picture (give the tub more room and center it with the window): But I don't like water closets, and I prefer as much separation between the bathroom and closet as possible. This would put all the "bathroom" items at the top and all the "closet/storage" related items on the bottom. If my math is right, you would still have plenty of space for a freestanding tub and a decent sized double vanity....See More

Make sure you swing your master bedroom door towards the bedroom. I recommend a pocket door for the 2 other bathrooms.
