Any ideas to improve this master bath layout?
Comments (10)You bathroom has so many possibilities. If you never take a bath then ditch it, otherwise your going to get stuck cleaning that big piece of real estate. I didn't quite understand if this was a totally new construction or not cause there was talk about moving toilet v. not moving. Here is my suggestion If you leave the toilet where it sits make it into a room with a door even with frosted glass. Next put in a swinging door rather then a pocket into the bath saves money works better. Put the shower where the tub is, its nice and big and where you show the shower and walk in linen closet put your long counter for sinks It will make nice focal point when you walk into the room. Get rid of the 2ft wide by 3ft deep linen it is way too deep and will be uncomfortable to use. I know a couple of people with deep closets like that and they are very unpractical. Next and this is a win win, where you show your sinks that whole area could then become a 2nd walk in closet! Now you have a his and hers WIC. My suggestion over on the existing closet move the entrance towards the exterior wall. when you put in your sink counter where i suggested it would only need 2ft of depth from exterior wall, which then gives you the ability to move the opening to the closet over. This way you can run your closet rod to the wall. The way you have it now your walking into the end of it, This also gives you a few more feet of storage. One thing i did in my closet that I love is use your corners of the closets for shelves. I made shelving towers in each corner and each shelf holds about 5 - 6 pairs of shoes or purses. Some I use for sweaters. It keeps everything off the floor and then the clothes rods hang from the towers. It makes great use of the corners. The bottom of the shelves I made so a pair of boots could be stored upright. It as been a great decision. Well I hope I helped you and you could follow my train of thought....See MoreMaster Room / Bath Remodel Ideas

Comments (3)Hire a Kitchen and Bath Designer immediately rather than making so many expensive mistakes. That you’re already making. Budget. Design. Specify. Select Contractor. Build. You don’t start at the end and work backwards....See Moremaster bedroom, master closet, master bath, 1/2 bath and laundry
Comments (9)Do you have another bathtub in the house...for bathing kids? Unless you or your spouse enjoy baths...maybe eliminate the tub in the MBA? I am glad I have a linen closet in my MBA. I agree with eliminating the reach-in closets and adding windows. Also think about how you dress; a walk-in closet can hold all the things people used to store in dressers. (You really don't *need* a window in a closet, although Mark gave it one.) I agree with him about losing the (dated) double doors -- and creating an entry, rather than plopping right into the living room. If you'll eat at the kitchen island a lot, consider seating that's not all-in-a-row. It makes conversation difficult....See MoreG E
