It would be for me, and I’m not a big person. Draw it out on the floor (or use cardboard) and set aside 2’ for clothes hanging on a hanger. That leaves 2’. Can you walk down that 2’, sideways, without brushing the clothes or the wall?

A reach in closet is more space efficient because you won’t need the walkway inside the closet. Everything else could be 24” bigger, with a reach in. But a walk in needs to be 5‘ minimum for a single wall walk-in . That 3’ walkway could be inside occupied space, and give you the same exact storage. Unless you have a 7’ deep space, a walk in isn’t worth the space lost. A reach in is better. Those little ears pictured will not hold anything real.

Your builder does not have a clue about designing. All of his dimensions are off, leading to poor space allocation. Some of that is not even legal minimum spacing. That bath is not workable and won’t pass inspection. Who puts a closet in an outside corner, where a bedroom could have windows and light from two directions? This is just badly designed all the way around.

Builders build what architects design. You need professional design help immediately.

Hanging requires 24" and everything else JuneKnow said.

Do you really need 2 sinks in the MB? As tiny as the room is, I doubt two would be in at same time, and there is literally no counter space. You would be better off with one sink (set to one side) with uninterrupted counter space on the other. Have you considered no putting in that closet and making bathroom larger? (Yes, I know you didn't ask.)

Can you post your current layout, please, along with what you’re trying to accomplish?

You could do a fabulous Pax reach in in that space and have so much better use .4’ is not deep enough to walkin .

You should get a professional to help redesign this. I'm NOT an architect and not someone to design for you.

Just for example though, how bad do you want that little nook in your eating area in the upper right? Ditch that nook, the bathroom moves down, your bedroom goes up and gets windows, you get the space for a full walk in closet and STILL have an overall larger bedroom, AND you get a larger closet in that other room off the hall(assuming thats a bedroom too). All that from just getting rid of a little nook.

Are the windows existing? Can they be moved?

Super Lumen is onto something but I think that “eating nook” is actually a fireplace - therefore not able to move. But the main bedroom is quite large - so I think you have better options than your current one.

You can cheat the walkway in a walk-in closet a bit if the walkway runs between shelves or rods(3"-4"). This works OK because the open spaces around and above clothes and shelves creates the illusion of spaciousness, which is why it doesn't work so well when one side is a solid wall.

So, 4' is too small, and 5' is a bit inefficient. A 5' closet will get you hanging clothes on one side, while a 5'8"-5'10" closet will give you shelves on one side and hanging clothes on the other and a 6'8"-6'10 closet will get you hanging clothes on both sides.

In your room, I would probably try to 5'10 and would not do reach in closets, but I like wall space. Your bedroom will still be large enough and you will get shelving in the closet for shoe shelves or anything else. I assure you that you will not have any trouble finding a good use for closet shelves.

Here is a quick mock up...

Thanks, all. Huge help and yes it is a family member who is a GC and not a designer at all, thus me reaching out. This is our first house and we bought it cheaper than expected and are willing to pay to get it to our liking. Here is the original layout. The breakfast nook is actually a fireplace.

This is even better. You have more options that will maximize bedrooms, closets and bathrooms. Super's mock-up is near perfect, IMO. Put plumbing back-to-back to save money and keeps plumbing off outside wall.

I also like the idea of having the door (sliding?) in line with the window so that if you have it open you'd get some additional light. The bedroom windows are on the eastern side and the porch is on the south side

Pocket doors are great if you buy one with good mechanisms. You want one that open and closes easily/smoothly, and doesn't "flop" around on the bottom.

Do you think 13'7'' wide is large enough for a king-size bed w/ nightstands?

Thaanks all

For those interested, I think we may be going with this. Any other suggestions?

I would try to avoid, if possible, the master bed headboard being placed against the wall of another bedroom. Just sayin'.... In your layout, it is at least against a closet, but still...

And what is that odd space between the closet and the other bathroom? What is its intended purpose?

Man, you guys are great. With bry's layout you could put the bed on either wall and, Anna, you're right that it should be on the outside wall. There are just current windows there so that was my reason to do it against a wall but they may have to be removed and do a 2x7' wide window above the bed which could be cool.

Is the vanity sink necessary if you do a 3-4K’ wide vanity in bathroom with storage below? Just wondering what it’s use case is vs just a sitting vanity with mirror and makeup/ hair stuff?

I like the plan from bry911 .

A small tweak to it is that I'd eliminate the door that swings into the walk in closet.

Is the vanity sink necessary if you do a 3-4K’ wide vanity in bathroom with storage below?

I think that is personal choice. When I had the setup I used the sink to brush my teeth and shave. I really don't know how my wife used it, but I do remember a lot of bottles and little pots of stuff, so alchemy is a strong possibility. There is certainly no rule either way.

You might also consider running the plumbing (either stubbing it out or marking the exact location in the wall) and simply not installing a sink to see how you like it. If, in the future, you want to install the sink you will not have a lot of work to do.

Sent the input to our GC and he suggested maybe having the angled wall so you could get some 6’4”+wide closet space. the alternative would be to a 5’8” wide closet (wall to window, straight line like bry’s) and expand the shower space wider?

Either of those plans have advantages. Which one you go with is a bit of personal preference. If you go with the 5'8" plan you get one wall of hanging clothes, one wall of 12" shelving, a 34" walkway, a bigger bathroom vanity and a bit more room in the dressing vanity area.

Going with the slanted wall and 6'4" closet gets you two rows of clothes with a 32" walkway... Or shelves and a 42" walkway.

I know it is time consuming but give it a test run in your house. Grab a couple of garment racks from Amazon (they are like $30 - $45) and recreate the closet sizes you are looking at and see if they feel OK to you.

I like the wider walk in closet. Depending on how high the window is, this could be a very nice dressing room since it is not just a windowless closet. For example, some of the hanging space could be drawers or open shelving, and you could have a dresser or a bench under the window. some ideas

However, I wouldn't use an angled wall. I'd square it off and omit any corners in the plan where hanging clothes are hanging over each other at an angle - a big waste of space. A square corner in the bathroom could also let you put a bit of storage there, whereas an angled wall is pretty useless.

I also moved the walk-in's door as close as possible to the bedroom, so light from the window can also light the dressing area.

You may want to off-center the sink so that a little chair can go there, as a vanity area.
