Lighting in master bathroom and walk=in closet
Comments (1)You should have at least one ceiling light in the bathroom. (possibly two especially if you read in there) In the closet I'd recommend one 3 bulb fixture in the center. For the bedroom a ceiling fans in the center. Here's a few ideas....See MoreSmall master bathroom and closet design challenge, please help!
Comments (4)I just finished an addition to my twenties home. I tried everything to get a bath and closet with in a 13 x8 ft space but everything felt cramped and instead of having a tight closet and a tight bath with small shower and vanity we decided to add wardrobes to or large bath. I wanted custom but due to an unexpected health issue we scaled back budget and went with IKEA pax wardrobes they hold all of my most worn seasonal clothes and all of my husbands work clothes plus most worn casual wear. I like the reach in better for organization too. We still have the orginal reach in closet and a pine older armoire for extra items in the bedroom but never open it. Could you add wardrobes in the bedroom and have a nice sized bath with additional storage? I really love my large bath after years in this old house with tiny baths and closets. I was unconventional and like keeping my clothes in the bath which has two venting fans. it is my most private from the street area in my room so it is where I change anyway but the wardrobes take up so little space I could have placed them in the bedroom without losing much floor space too. in your second plan you can turn the vanity and make it longer and have the edge abut the shower with a half glass panel and than the door.......See MorePut entry to master closet in master bathroom?
Comments (9)You are describing my master suite. My shower head is fairly close to the door to the closet, and I must walk through the master bathroom to get to the master closet. Many of the houses in my neighborhood are like this. I don't think its a problem as long as you have a fully enclosed shower. (By "fully" I mean it has a door, and walls on all 4 sides of the shower -- I'm not talking about the shower being completely enclosed on the top. In other words water can theoretically splash out the top of my shower, and onto the carpet in the closet, but in practice it doesn't since the shower walls are quite tall (over 6 feet, I believe). The shower walls are pretty good at keeping water in. This photo is fairly like my master shower. The shower head would be on the left wall inside the shower in the pic above. The door to the master closet would be just outside the shower on the left side of the pic, at a 90 degree angle to the shower door (the master bedroom closet door is on the same plane as the wall that the shower head is on.) In addition, the wall on the other side of the shower head is inside the master closet....See Moremaster closet in master bathroom yes or no and why?
Comments (86)I much prefer the closet off the bath and easy access from the closet to the laundry. Ours is a walk though closet approx 15' x 7' 6". Doors opposite each other giving DH a space of a bit more than 5' x 7'6" and I have about 7' x 7' 6" on my end, so basically two decent sized, but not overly large walk in closets sharing a 3' walk through between the bath and my office (but steps from laundry). DH slept in this morning. I showered and got ready for the day, put up laundry, and dried a load of towels and put them up all without disturbing DH. During the day, I most frequently access the closet and master bath from my office. Very convenient....See Moreworthy
