Free standing tubs look and function best in large bathrooms with space all around the tub for cleaning and visually looking right.

Mrs Pete! You little devil! I've been called worse, but not since school ended two weeks ago. Seriously, I was glad to be helpful. After looking at the full-house layout, I have two pieces of advice: - Beware over-improving the bathroom. This is a small house with small bedrooms. It feels like a house in which a simple 3-piece bath would be appropriate in the master. Not what you want to hear, but I think it's solid financial advice. - Second, bummer, but I don't see any better options for the laundry, and everything I drew was predicated on moving the laundry elsewhere /having that bit more space. This pix below is a nice idea ... but do you have the space for it? Someone help me here ... a curb-less shower must slope 1/2" per foot /requires 4' of space. At least it's sloping away from the tub. This type of shower is expensive for a new build ... extremely expensive as an addition to an existing house ... and essentially impossible if you have a slab foundation (do you know what type of foundation you have?). The bathroom, as it exists now, is 6'4" across ... so 4' for the slope leaves 28" for the tub and the entrance to the shower. You could use a shorter piece of shower glass, but that would leave you with trip hazzard in the spot where the floor transitions. You could do this WITH A CURB. It would eliminate the slope problems, and without the clawfoot tub, you're eliminating the problems of cleaning around the tub.

Here’s a pic of the space - originally a bedroom that will be converted to an en-suite main bath. The window is awesome, but are removing it and extending that wall out to absorb a small “patio” area (it’s great for letting light into this room and hallway, but that’s about it). Would plan to add a skylight in that window area instead. The overall footprint available for the bathroom is 16’ L x 11’ W. The door will go on the side the “photographer” was standing, and we’re hoping to create a little closet that side as well (ie, between the bathroom wall and bedroom area the “photographer” is standing in).

Having the measurements is extremely important to someone else understanding the limitations of the space. It would also be good to know the size of fixtures. A standard tub is usually 30x60 inches. A whirlpool type is possibly 36x60 inches. A standard shower ranges from 36x36 inches to 36x48 inches. However, there are many variations in size depending on brand.
