How about this? This eliminates 2 of the corners. I gave you another window which will provide natural light to the closet, and also more light to the bedroom. You could each have one wall, and flip a coin for the short wall, or divide it up any way you choose. My husband and I share one long WICC. One long side is double-hung. My husband has the upper level since he's taller, and I have the lower one. The opposite side is set up for long clothes for part of it, some other open storage, and the laundry basket. We don't have hanging storage on the short wall, because you lose too much in the corners. Instead we have a dresser, and above it is my costume jewelry pinned on fabric-covered foam board. I also combined your laundry room and pantry to give you one large utility room. You'll have more pantry shelf space than in the current plan, plus plenty of floor space, enough for a long narrow table in the middle of the room. You'll use it for sorting and folding laundry, and as a landing space for groceries as you bring them into the house. I have a table like this in my laundry area. You'll love it. You also now have room for a laundry sink if you want one.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your thoughts! You brought up many ideas I hadn't thought of, and I really appreciate it! A few response comments: Partim: 1) I appreciate that your approach tries to keep costs down! I have a decent renovation budget, but there are a lot of things I'd like to change in the house, so savings in this area would be put to good use elsewhere. 2) I couldn't quite understand in your drawing how the new full bathroom and powder room are supposed to be laid out. Where are the doors? 3) The house is single story and has a large crawl space below, and a plumber who came to see it said that changing plumbing should be quite easy, even if we move bathrooms across the hallway, etc. 4) Unfortunately I do not know which walls are load-bearing. I had been thinking that my idea of moving the hallway up would be more cosmetic, because while I would be removing some of the walls lining the hallway, I could keep others and just layer a hall closet in front of them. 5) I think the existing bathroom could act as a powder room (ie be made more accessible to guests) if I change the entrance. I feel that a good powder room should be accessible from the entry. However, perhaps this can be done, if I remove the first closet below the bathroom on the right and add a door between the entry and the bathroom. Catlady: 1) I appreciated your creative idea of adding two new en-suite bathrooms! I hadn't thought of changing the doorways into each room and thought your idea was very clever. 2) I love how you added in more closet space, because the home would certainly benefit from extra storage space. 2) If I were to use your design, can you suggest how I could arrange a bed in each room? I'd like to be able to fit at least a Queen bed, plus 1 or ideally 2 night tables. I find that the windows make arranging the furniture in both rooms somewhat tricky. 3) Do you think giving each bedroom its own compact ensuite bathroom is that much better than giving the rooms more spacious bathrooms across the hallway? 4) Alternatively, what about letting Bdrm 2 primarily use the existing bathroom, and add 1) a new ensuite bathroom for Bdrm 1 and 2) a Powder Room. Notes for everyone: If I am able to fit both a small en suite bathroom for Bdrm 1 and a Powder Room by carving them out of Bdrm 2, with or without moving the hallway up, do you think any of the bathroom layouts posted below would fit better than others? And where would you put replacement/extra storage space, and bedroom furniture? (Note that the door may need to be moved in order to customize these layouts to my space.) Thanks so so so much!!! Standard Full Bathroom 1 - 4'x8': Standard Full Bathroom 2 - 5'x8': Standard Full Bathroom 3 - 6'x6': Powder Room Options:

All the plans have a trade-off in room shape, cost etc. I agree that putting the bathroom in bedroom #4, the room width is the trade off. The bedroom width is currently 10'10". If I look at the adjacent master bathroom toilet cubicle, it's not much wider than the closet in bedroom #4. So the closet is probably 24" and the master bathroom cubicle 30". If the OP is OK with a 30" width then the middle plan may be the best one, since it only takes 6" off the width of the bedroom making it 13'10" x 10'4", and eliminating any door swing into the room.

It appears that in one of your options you are willing to let go of one bedroom in order to get 3 bathrooms and a laundry room. If you were to do that I think it is worth considering this layout. All bathrooms, closets and laundry room are bigger: - Bathrooms (red) - Closets (green) - Laundry room (orange) I also re-organized your ensuite. If you prefer one double-sink vanity, you can move the cabinet where the second vanity is. Also, have you considered moving the wall in your bedroom to make it more rectangle (see dotten line)?
