Master bath layout help

we are converting one bathroom & closet into 2 bathrooms. I’m not liking the current drawn layout for the master. What other options do we have for layout? There is now wall space for towel bar other than next to the toilet, which is a big NOPE. Also not loving the shower design. The window is new and will preferably be on the wall
as drawn but could be moved. Any one have a better suggested layout? Double sink vanity is a must and we could go down in size as they come as small as 48.

Comments (3)Instead of having the closet open into the bedroom, have the door going into your closet from your bath. Gives you more wall space in your bedroom. Also allows for a change in furniture placement. You could consider using a pocket door going into the closet. Good Luck!...See MoreMaster Bath layout help
Comments (18)So you don't think that people are just trying to be obstructionist: If the bathroom is 10 feet wide, a 60" tub is half that, so you've drawn the tub too long for the 60" allowance (unless you are including a deck in Addition to those 60". In any case the 60" tub will look like it does in the drawing below. I chose the closest Kohler tub I could find, it's 60" x 42" The issue is this. The inside rim at the top of this tub is 54" The very bottom of this 60" tub is 37" long because of the backrests. If this is evenly divided between front and back like it is on this tub, that means that the flat part of the tub starts 3" (half the difference between 60-54") + (60-37) / 2 or 23/2 or 11.5" from the back edge of the tub. 3" + 11.5" = 14.5 + from the back edge of the tub. So you have a very small spot because of that pony wall, with which to get a foot on the flat bottom of the tub. With this design, especially with the shower there you are going to be getting into this tub by stepping on the slanted backrest. And other tubs may be even moreso. I chose one with a center drain not on that is almost straight up and down on the inner front wall and more slanted in the back....See MoreMaster Bath Layout HELP
Comments (6)What Mark said. And with doors, I'd prefer. I don't like the bathroom through closet style, but without changing walls that's what you need here. The relatively compact (5ft wide) space means that the trip from the bed to toilet will not be terribly far (Still a point to consider if anyone, now or in the future, may experience urgent toilet trips) The 5ft space also means that any clutter or disorder will be noticeable, and the abscence of any may still seem as such, so doors will help. A cleaner look, and helps keep clothes perfectly dry....See MoreRemodel Narrow Master Bath Layout Help
Comments (2)You need a very accurate scaled drawing of the existing space. Then a scaled drawing of the PLAN for the new space. A plumbing wall needs six inches depth. This ( below ) tells us nothing..........: ) It is not a "floor plan" A floor plan has inches. Contractor states he can push the bedroom closet wall back about 12 inches (roof/vents on the opposite end) and turn the shower horizontally into that closet space. He can remove the bathroom door and pony walls (used to be a sliding door closet). We are currently looking to put the toilet on the left of the vanity, scoot the vanity over to the right just a bit and build a wall and pocket door at the entrance....See Morealwayscold
3 years agoI like the idea of the privacy for the toilet since we won’t have space for it to be in its own room. Can you see this in this layout in any way? I’d like to not have a shower door.
