I agree with what you said, but can you recommend some good quality and appearance of the bathtub?

are you keeping the gold around the shower doors? If so, I'd pick something different. (is that a porcelain or a real travertine?) The tile itself is nice, but paired w/your square tile, it's really not the right look. Your white tile w/the beige grout, and your gold shower doors, just doesn't work w/the tile. both of those are warm, the tile is cool. something like this warmer terrazzo looking tile would look much better w/the gold and your tiles Tilebar has a similar tile to the gray one you like called Sandstone. And it's on sale. it's 24x24 this color (and you can order a sample) looks much better w/your bathroom elements. It's shown on the wall in this pic. they have a 12x24 size too. they have one in this color too. https://www.tilebar.com/basic-sandstone-beige-24x24-matte-porcelain-tile.html this basic Limestone look porcelain is also on clearance. https://www.tilebar.com/basic-limestone-silver-12x24-matte-porcelain-tile.html all on Tilebar.com what about something darker like this 10x10 hex? 4x16 black slate (they have similar in porcelain) done in a herringbone. do you have an oak or wood vanity? this terra cotta color in the hex would look nice w/the gold and any wood Floor and Decor has this White wood look tile. All you're doing is replacing the carpeting? nothing else is getting done in here? is this a second floor? To put down tile, the substrate needs to be changed to support the tile, and keep it from flexing. So that will be extra cost, depending on what you have. If you're on a cement slab, it's fine

Thanks! Yes, that's the lower cost version of Option 3--move the tub but leave the toilet where it is. (Could also do this phased and move the toilet at some future point, though that probably makes less sense if we're already doing the floor now.) The downside is that the toilet is still in line with the door; the plus to this option (in addition to being lower cost) is that we can keep more storage, since there's room on that side to do a 36"w x 15"d cabinet. If we flip the toilet to be on that wall, there's only room for a 24"x 15"d cabinet because there are sconces on either side of the sink. (We could of course switch to an overhead light instead, but we really like the sconces!) ETA: One challenge to this plan is that I just measured in the design program, and the distance between the edge of the toilet and edge of the tub is only 20", which is pretty tight. If we can find a rounded tub that didn't need the wall at the end, we could pick up 4.5", but I haven't found any in 30" widths.

I think you're showing the old and the new on the same drawing? As others have said, this is confusing. But the new master suite is a simple layout with a closet-bath-bedroom? Okay, if I'm reading this correctly, here are my specific thoughts: - Simple layouts are always best. Thumbs-up. - The hallway to the bedroom will make things private. But the hallway is something like 10' long and dull ... on the positive side, you'll be walking towards a door with natural light /makes for a good focal point. I'd like to see low-wattage motion-sensored lights in this hallway to make it pleasant at night ... if you place two lights midway in this hallway, the light won't spill onto the bed and disturb a sleeper. How wide is this hallway? I hope no less than 42" ... personally, I'd steal a foot from the ample bath and closet and add a set of built-in bookshelves into this hallway. I'd love to see it maybe 48" high with space above for artwork or display items. A 42" hallway with a half-high bookshelf on the left wall would feel luxuriously wide. This would give you a ton of storage and would create a more pleasant walk than an empty hallway. Imagine 10' of this: - I would definitely flip-flop the closet and the bathroom. Why? Because "as shown", you have the toilet sharing a wall with the bedroom, which can be noisy. In contrast, the closet is a quiet space. It also means when you want to use your own bathroom during the day, you're a step closer. - After making this flip-flop, keep the water items on the wall shared with the closet. This will mean more quiet for the secondary bedroom on the other side ... and if (when) you someday need service of some sort to the bathroom, a worker would be able to break through your closet wall, which means preserving your expensive tile. You could even ask for access doors to be left in the closet, which would allow you to reach the water works simply by moving the clothing out. - I'd definitely want a window in the bathroom, even if it's a small one up high over the tub. - Is that an open shower next to the tub? Eh, okay but not great. Personally, given that you have a very large closet right next door, I think I'd keep the tub at the end of the bathroom and create a shower that kinda "dips into" /steals space from the closet. I'd be willing to steal a bit from the large bedroom to make this happen. - In designing the bathroom, don't forget to plan where your towels will hang. - I don't know where you stand on closets-opening-from-bathrooms, but I think I might be tempted to close off the closet-door-from-the-hallway and open the closet from the middle of the bathroom ... meaning you'd enter the middle of the closet instead of the end. Maybe. - I note that you don't have a linen closet IN the bathroom, and that's something I really like. If you open the clothing closet into the bathroom, you'd be able to use that space for bathroom storage too. - I like the door in the master bedroom (fire safety), but I'd like to see a few more windows. The best rooms have windows on two sides to allow natural light from two different directions. - This is a fairly large bedroom, and you're showing only a bed in it. What do you plan to do with the rest of this space? My old bedroom was roughly this size (13' wide) and a king bed with two nice-sized night stands fit nicely on the short wall, but I was always a little irritated by the wasted space at the foot of the bed. - Where is your laundry? Ideally it'd be near the master bedroom as a step-saver. Your closet is large ... could you have a small stack-up unit in the closet?
