Master Bathroom layout - New Build
I'm looking for some layout suggestions for a new build master bathroom. The bathroom space is currently slated at 15 ft x 16 ft. I can reduce or increase the 16ft dimension (North/South) but the 15 ft dimension (East/West) is going to remain 15'
The entrance from the master bedroom into the bathroom is the bathroom's South wall with the entrance to the master closet from the bathroom is the bathroom's North wall. Exterior is the West wall so there will be window(s) placed on the West wall.
Need:
Shower (ideally not oversize. Something that won't be cold after showering)
Oversize bathtub (for two adults)
Him and Her sink/area
Toilet room (enclosed for privacy)
*bonus -- Urinal (placement to not be obnoxious for the Mrs.)
Design elements:
All walls (toilet room, shower) will need to be parallel or perpendicular to N/S or E/W. No curves and no angles.
House construction is over 2+ million and this master bathroom should have a modern feel.
Shower to be fully enclosed except for the door
See below example showing 2 windows on left side (west), door to master on top (north) and door example on bottom (south). The doors and windows can go anywhere. Not sure best placement or sizes for the Need items. (the attachment should be to scale if you want to print)
I'm thinking the shower and tub will be on the West (windowed) wall but then I'm not sure how I'm going to separate the his/her sink areas nor be able to fit a urinal into the plan.
I'm not looking for exact scale, just idea's of layout (where you would put everything and rough sizes).
THANKS!

Bathroom layout idea with 2 small bathrooms - including measurements
Comments (19)The "regular" bath layout that jensbride posted first is very similar to what our DD & DS shared for years and worked very well. The door, however, was a pocket style and placed directly across from the toilet. This allowed the vanity to be scooted around the corner to take up the whole wall. It leaves the toilet close to the tub, but with lots of elbow room. Our kids just learned to keep the door partially closed when the bath wasn't in use due to the "view"....See MoreHow should I layout my Master Bathroom?
Comments (10)Something like this? How long is the window and what are the dimensions on each side? Is the window tempered? Drawing with my finger is not my strongest skill:)...See MoreMaster Bedroom and Bathroom Layout
Comments (23)A 28 inch wide pinch point opening into a 48 inch wide corridor to the closet doesn't make sense to me. Move the door to the corner of the room, and design a bed setup which minimizes the width of the nightstands and uses the headboard area for lighting and shelf space. There are lots of creative ideas for eliminating nightstands and this would give you an extra 4 feet of length in the bedroom. Seems a small price to pay for a spacious bedroom! If the desired position for the bed in the master is to the facing the front window, wouldn't that also be the desired position for the bed in the adjoining room? I would eliminate the linen closet and extend the wall dividing the bedrooms all the wall across the hall and put the room door in that wall. Then take the space currently used by the hallway, linen closet and reach in closet and combine that into a large 6'6" x 8' walk in closet with the door facing the room door. That gets you much more storage space and the option of placing the bed on the 8'2" wall. Yes, that is tight spacing for a queen bed, but the added flexibility in placing furniture would be a nice option....See Moreneed feedback for master bathroom layout.
Comments (28)I like the last layout Suzanne did. I would rather have a bigger walkway behind the two sinks (maybe 42 inches instead of 36 inches), even if that means making the closet less deep. If you make bedroom 2 bigger, I would still make the master bath aisle 42 inches and make the closet 5 feet by 6'9". That would give you 10 feet of hanging space and I would do double hung for most of it. If you don't need another closet on the bottom bedroom wall, that would be a nice space for a dresser and would make the bedroom feel more spacious. If you do the dresser, I would add 6 inches to the office space from the bedroom....See MoreLH CO/FL

2 years agoIt is often easier for us to critique or tweak an existing proposed plan than to draw up something new, so feel free to post what your architect has come up with, and tell us what you like and don't like about it.
Here's a possible layout. The challenge with a square bathroom is that you can have a lot of wasted space.
So to not waste the whole center of the room, you could do one of those center-stage tub-in-front-of-shower setups, like this:
