Need help with master bath/walk in closet combo layout
Hi! My fiance and i just bought a house and are taking the opportunity with Covid to renovate it room by room. Our next project is slated to be the master bathroom/closet combination room, which measures 12'x12' total. We are trying to find a functional design that incorporates a bathroom and master walk in closet. Our bathroom wishlist includes a steam shower with bench, toilet, freestanding tub (64"x33") and a double sink vanity. Linen cabinet is a definite plus.
I've attached a mock up of our current bathroom set up. We have to take into consideration the two windows, and the fact that we cant have a steam shower with windows in it. Plumbing and doors can be moved as our basement is unfinished and we have access. The raw total space is 12x12.
Please share your thoughts :)

Need help with 11'4X12 master bath and closet layout.
Comments (3)Well, we are building and will have an 11'4X27' area for the master bedroom/bath/closet. The bedroom will be 11'4X15 and the additional space will be for the closet and bathroom. I would like double sinks, possibly a toilet closet, and a large walk-in shower. I have figured and re-figured and can't seem to find a design that I love which gives adequate closet space and bathroom space. Please let me know if more info would be helpful. This is not my forte (obviously) which is why I would love some help....See MoreNeed help for Master Bath & Walk In Closet layout
Comments (18)To some degree, it's personal preference, and sometimes, it just depends on how the house ends up. I can see benefits to both. I've never lived in a closet-first house, and I've lived in two bath-first houses. The production home I'm building now also has a bath-first arrangement. I like the idea of not needing to pass through the bathroom when I'm putting away laundry, but I also like the idea of a closer toilet (my husband gets up in the middle of the night). I am in the habit of gathering my clothing *prior* to showering, whereas my husband likes the closet adjacent to the shower so he can go get his clothes afterward. We also like the idea of connecting the closet to the laundry room, and then connecting the laundry to the kids' bathroom (via a door or a pass-through), which requires a [master bed --> master bath --> master closet --> laundry --> kids' hall bath] sequence. I also strongly prefer all bedrooms on the same wing/side of the house. Honestly, I could live happily either way... The houses I grew up in never had a master suite, so I feel lucky to have it. :-)...See MoreHelp with Master/Closet/Bath/2nd Bath/Laundry Layout
Comments (8)Our budget right now is $30k. I am not quite sure how much that’ll get me. I have never undertaken anything like this. This will absolutely be something we take on in stages. This space is what we’d like to tackle first and is the largest. In our kitchen at some point we will replace countertops and in our other bathroom we will swap out the toilet, tub and vanity. Luckily the rest of the house is functional for us. I lack the vision and knowledge that a lot of people on here have of being able to see a functional layout in disaster zones lol. My intuition tells me all these spaces can somehow be rearranged to give us what we need. I’m completely wrong, please help. Im also completely fine and understand if it’s impossible, financially or practically to have it all. I do have a consultation with a designer scheduled for this week (so excited), and I’m praying that she’ll have time to take us on as clients but I got excited and wanted to ask the Houzz community first. Thank you !!...See MoreMaster bath (and closet) layout help
Comments (21)I still like no. 1 better but before you go ahead with this dimension of shower, for precautions, I would shop for vanities just to make sure you can find one that size. Also, for me, an 18x32 vanity would be too small. It may not for you but I suggest that you compare what you have right now and see if you would be satisfied with a vanity that size. The drawers might be very narrow. All of that may work for you but it does not hurt to check before you commit. If you find the vanity too small or you can't find any of that size, you might have to change the angle of the shower. You can also have a custom made vanity, but also check if you can find a sink the right size for that vanity. Also, if you find you have not enough storage you may want the cabinet I suggested in the bottom left corner. In that case, I would put a sliding door in the middle of the bathroom (not to the left. Your plan as you have it now might well work but there are precautions worth to checking before committing....See More

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoHi everyone. Thanks for the comments/questions. I've uploaded a pic with actual current dimensions. The door must remain on the current wall (which leads to bedroom), and we are keeping both windows as previously mentioned. I wont be keeping anything in the below layout other than the windows so I don't believe dimensions of my current bathroom fixtures are required. I cannot extend the bathroom in any way so the space in the diagram is all that we have. The door can be moved left or right as needed.
I am open to removing the tub if the layout is much better without it. Ideally I would like to have a tub (64"x33"), steam shower with bench, double vanity and toilet, and a comfortable walk in closet. I am open to having the closet entrance through the bathroom, as a passthrough, or a door into the bedroom (as it currently is).
Note that we will be removing the large corner tub and replacing the vanity, shower, etc. with new fixtures.
