we are trying to decide which layout is the best and if we should make alterations.

Any suggestions

second one, don't want to look in bathroom while in be; also allows more furniture placement options.

You have that long, narrow space entering the bedroom; perhaps make that the entry into the bathroom - imagine a doorway approximately across from the bookcase (if you could actually "see" the bookcase, iykwim) with the door opening against the wall of the toilet room. Then take the vanity - either one straight run with 2 sinks along the entire wall parallel to the bed, or turn the corner with one vanity/sink on each leg as in your first drawing. If you turn the corner, you would have enough room to enlarge the linen closet at the end of the vanity (turn it facing the shower wall) if necessary.

This also removes the bathroom out of the sightline of the bed, and removes the door on that bedroom wall, leaving you a big canvas with which to have fun. ;>)

I've turned a corner like that with vanities and left open shelves for towels, etc, in the corner. Are you planning on a sit down area for makeup? Sorry, I don't know how to "draw" using keyboard symbols, lol.

What about something like this:

We thought about moving the door to the other wall (across from bookshelf) but are hesitant of it being so close to main bedroom door.

Thank you for your ideas.

We appreciate all ideas and like the viewpoints as it helps us think it through completely.

That's an interesting layout.

Thank you!

I like the idea of a long sink wall and leave the toilet where it is! 😊

Larger linen would fit on the toilet wall I think then the doorway

I do like the idea of a bigger linen closet.

It would be helpful if you could show the adjacent spaces.

To be overly frank, start over. Personally (and professionally) I do not feel the layout is very good. You currently have five threads on Houzz concerning this house on different areas and the overall flow is not good. Discuss your concerns with your designer and tell them to give it another try. Give them all the comments you have received and give them a second chance to come up with something great. And tell them we are watching.

Another option:

I just realized that my layout is exactly what tsjmjh suggested ... oh well, now you have the visual!

Thank you! We looked at that option and are interested in keeping the door to the top left corner for best access without 2 doors so close to one another. we're also adding a window on the wall in front of the shower.

Thank you!

Toilet against bedroom wall may transmit sleep disturbing sounds of toilet flush.

I agree it is possible that the noise can disturb the sleep. You could put extra insulation on that wall or make that wall thicker or flip the toilet and place it on the shower wall. Your vanity is quite long, I think would have enough length to put 2 sinks and a cabinet.

good thought on toilet and insulation

i think i'd put a tower between the 2 sinks it we keep it as above

thank you!

An 11 foot shower? I hope you have a cleaning person.

If you don't mind me suggesting ... I would switch the counter in the service area and enlarge the opening of the great room. This way you get a more direct access to the dining room:

Consider this concept:

Bigger bedroom, bathroom sounds isolated, reduces potential mold growth, one can get ready and slip out without waking the other, better window opportunity, better clothes presentation, no gas chamber.

Thank you! We actually adjusted the butler pantry area to open wider and take the place of the column.

Thats a good idea on the master bath/closet. We've already added an additional window next to the shower. We actually like the closet through the bath (we've had that set up in a previous house. We also have extra vents to take care of steam/humidity and a dehumidifier set up if necessary. If we worked out of the home and had schedules that would disturb others sleep its definitely something we would change. Thanks

" . . . set up if necessary."

Will it be necessary after you notice the mold starting to grow or before?

As I stated we've had this set up before and never had a problem.

I have had clients that have had this setup in the past and have not had a problem, and I have had clients that have had problems with it. I have found it a good practice to avoid potential problems or to make my client know of the risk involved.

I have comment on another area of the floor plan. It is about the WIC in the guest bedroom. It has an odd shape in terms that you cannot really walk inside the closet to reach the clothes but at the same time it is a good (and somewhat too big) reach-in closet which would need two doors to be able to reach all the clothes.

This is an option if you like the idea of a true WIC but it would require that the porch is shorter and use some of the space for the bathroom.

Personally, I would go with either a true WIC (such as below) or a reach-in (with 2 doors) but not what you have currently.

Note that on the layout I moved the window to go behind the door but I forgot to remove the window where the tub is. The WIC is large enough so you could have a door that swings inside but a pocket door would be good too.

@hunt597 - Our master suite has the closet accessed through the bathroom. We've lived in this house for slightly over 30 years (we bought it when it was in the framing stage) and we've *never* had an issue with mold or mildew in the closet. Not everyone is against master closets being accessed through master bathrooms.🙂

I agree it is small for a "walk in" closet. Given that this room will be more of an office than anything else the closet will hold my printer and supplies and maybe a couple jackets, I think it will work for the purpose that we need. Thank you for your idea. I would change if it were to be a true clothes closet.

Many thanks on your feedback of the master closet access through the bathroom. I so appreciate the confirmation that it does work. I found it very convenient and was happy that our house plan had it set up that way.

Thank you!!
