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".

My original bathroom layout was almost identical in layout, except the doors were reversed (closet to bedroom). And the window was not a bump out, just a garden window. Mine was probably smaller. i used to have a large platform type 60" tub and replaced it with a freestanding that is "66. I love my new tub - hated the old one. The tiled platform made it difficult (and dangerous) tot get in/out. With the new tub, I can grip the edge and feels very secure. Eliminating the tile made it less costly too. I left room to use a OCedar mop to clean around it. My tub has a ledge on the drain end that I can set my soap on. It could have been a tub mount filler. This assumes you actually use the tub. If you don't, IDK. Not sue that space could be used for anything else without making structural changes. Maybe a smaller tub would allow you to extend the shower length? I did a pocket door to the bedroom (soft close/open with a pull style handle (no lock). I eliminated the close door opening and opened to the bedroom instead. I also bumped back my toilet into the adjoining closet and used a wall mounted toilet to allow space for a wider shower. I put a wall between the vanity and toilet to create an alcove for a bit of privacy. ETA:. I had carpet in part of the old bathroom too!

I wholeheartedly agree with adding a bathroom. My own goal is to convert four bedrooms and two baths to three bedrooms and three private baths. I am interested in your post to learn things. I like your proposed layout with the vanity as focal point. This positioning allows you to have a full base cabinet if you want, without shrinking the space visually. And in a master bath, you likely need the afforded storage. Of course a floating vanity will make it look like you have more space, even if you stick the bathroom scale under it. Maybe make it the same tone as the wall to help it blend in though and not jump out at you. It would help the entire space visually to color coordinate the bathroom with the bedroom. To add more storage, I will suggest a couple ideas that worked for me in my existing small bathrooms. Keeping the vanity counter clear will help make it look spacious, especially since it is the focal point of the room. Have 2-3 storage shelves over the toilet for baskets with your makeup, extra tp, lotion, extra roll of paper towels, whatever. I also put a basket on the tank to store even more stuff, so choose a tank with a flat top. Another is to have a trio of shelves in the shower on the wall opposite the showerhead. They hold so much in-shower stuff. I used stick on wire ones I got on Amazon and love the way everything dries and doesn't get moldy or soapy. I imagine you already planned for a medicine-cabinet mirror for more storage. You may be stuck with overhead lighting, but maybe you are young and beautiful and don't have my wrinkles. :-) Wrinkle are why we made side-lighting. I haven't seen side-lit medicine cabinets, but they would be worth looking for. The great thing about small bathrooms is everything is within reach or close enough. So, though it might not appear to make sense to have stacking towel racks for drying used towels across from your toilet, they are close enough and really the only wall space available, especially with a pocket door. I imagine before a shower I would fold them and place them on the vanity to grab when I was done, then hang them back to dry. I'd also close the toilet lid before flushing though.  Some people feel like a small space feels cheap and therefore depressing. I don't, but I like the idea of compensating with high-end components. A top-end toilet with a heated bidet seat and skirted base, for example, will make your space feel luxurious. Or a wall-hung toilet? Luxurious towels are nice too. You can make your towel racks heated. Have a great lighted vent. Get radiant-heated flooring. Get a heated anti-fog mirror. Color the room with dark jewel tones and have lots of artificial lighting. Try canned ceiling lights in the shower ceiling, vanity lights, an overhead vent with light, and even some lighting in the toilet area. Pack that room with luxury and it won't feel small. Whatever dark color you use for the shower, continue it out beyond the glass on your back wall to prevent choppiness. Not everything in the room has to be dark. You can still have a white toilet, white towels, a white counter if you want. Just tie it in with the bedroom to mentally make a bigger space.  Speaking of the bedroom… The bathroom light will shine on the bed. Can I suggest turning the bed with the headboard at the window so the light doesn't shine on sleepers? This may make you cringe, but it affords you advantages. Currently it creates wasted space by the windows. If the head of the bed is at the window you now have additional useful space. For example, you have room on both sides for floor to ceiling shelving functioning as uber-nightstands. You have room at the foot of your bed for a bench to sit on while you don socks and underwear, AND if it is a storage bench, that's where you can store clean replacement towels near the entry of a bathroom too small for storing extra towels. It also creates space for a pair of dressers on the walls near the closet. I agree that you probably could use more clothing storage, but don't see space for it, so maybe room for two dressers is the next best thing and now you have room by your closet for two dressers instead of one. If you agree there are reasons to move the head of the bed to the window, the next concern is how to deal with the blocked light. The answer is more lighting. You can have light-blocking draperies for night and open them during day. You can get a slatted see-through headboard. You can use mirrored-shelf etageres for your nightstands to bounce light up or mirror the wall around your bed to create visual space you can see through the shelves or etageres. You can install mirrored french-door-look gridded closet doors to approximate a walk-out balcony. You will want to make the closet wall a beautiful thing to look at, since it is now opposite your headboard. Maybe a tall fake potted plant with an up-light by the dresser would help. Or if it's all too fake, an up-lit meaningful tall sculpture and reeded or textured closet doors instead of mirrors. Maybe a lot of dimmable canned lights in the ceiling, like stars in a night sky. A small room can be very luxurious so you don't feel cheated. I hope some of these ideas have helped.

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?
