Building a Home Design Dilemma Bathrooms

Bathroom layout - need suggestion

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

I need some suggestions on how to plan master bathroom for our house. We are trying to place 1 jacuzzi, 1 vanity (single/double), 1 commode, and 1 shower cabin.

Considering that it is master bathroom we are trying to have a separated (with a door) walk-in/walk-through closet. I have been trying a lot but have not come up with a decent layout so far.

As mentioned in the image above, the entrance door of the bathroom area is on the west corner of wall facing the bed. I am flexible in moving to the east corner if it will not ruin the media wall view.

This is how the room will look if I move the door to east corner. In this way, it will be tough to place the bed at middle of the back wall.

Any ideas will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Can you give us the dimensions of the green, red, orange and yellow lines below? How big do you expect your jacuzzi to be?

We are planing to install a two persons jacuzzi typically sized 5.5'X5', 6'x3.5' or somewhere around that. It can be corner to rectangular shaped, we don't have any preferences.

Here are the dimensions.

Edit:

The window on the 14.5 feet wall can be placed anywhere and of any size. The complete 14.5 feel wall has an open space on the other side.

Thanks, Plumberry. I like your layout. My only issue is window placement and that had been a problem with every layout we've put together. DH does not want to have to get into the tub to open the windows and we only have the one exterior wall. My favorite layout had the vanity on the exterior wall with double windows over it instead of mirrors or a medicine chest. DH can't quite picture this and he really hated the design. I loved it. Maybe I can talk him into it. In the version above you would have to get into the tub to open one window but the other one is easily accessible. It just feels a little claustrophobic between the shower, toilet and vanity. I will play around with your ideas a bit. Thanks again.

We are in a similar situation. We are putting a family washroom on the second floor of our 1950's farmhouse. We don't have space for 2 washrooms. Personally - I HATE bathrooms with a door from the hall and the bedroom. Whenever I am a guest at houses with them I find you have to move towels, laundry etc. from the 'master bedroom door' in order to shut it (and lock 2 doors) and I am always in fear that someone will come in the second door!! BUT - the suggestion you had with 2 vanities and toilets with a shared shower makes sense! (I remember a dorm room like that actually). We will be going with 1 door from the hall, double vanity, single toilet and shower.

I agree that space between the tub/shower is weird. I think I'd opt to make the tub a drop-in or undermount vs. a stand-alone. That way you could extend the shower into the corner and put a bench there that is really a continuation of the tub deck. The glass enclosure could then separate the shower space from the open tub space. And please make sure your architect/designer centers that tub on the window. That would drive me batty. :-) Lastly, have the toilet door open in, not out to save space. I might also add a pocket door instead of a swing door to the bath entry and make that double vanity larger to take up more of that wall.

Is this a remodel? Can the bedroom window change size?

Where does the door go to in the lower right hand corner. What is located outside the hallway to the bedrooms?

Thanks for your valuable response. It is a brand new house construction plan and nothing on ground yet so we are totally flexible to changes. The size of bedroom window can definitely be changed. The lower right hand corner is a window towards 5 feet wide patio (Highlighted in image below).

The area below the hallway to the bedroom has TV lounge on the right hand side and kitchen on the left hand side (show in the image below).
