Please help!!! Awkward layout for our master bath/bedroom reno

14 years ago

My husband and I are attempting to re-work out master bath and master bedroom, however the layout is very awkward due to the location of the shower (kind-of tucked back in a corner). We are attempting to keep the plumbing of the shower in the same place to save costs.

I have attached pictures of the current layout and 3 design plans I have been working on. Let me know which on you like best, or feel free to let me know your own ideas! I am still very much in the brainstorming process and I would love any input I can get!

Option 1 - large closet

Option 2 - large bathroom

Option 3 - split closet and bath

Hi, Option 1 or 2 work best, but I am more concerned about your minimum distances for various elements such as hallway and door openings.

i like option 2 the best but with a walk through closet- so eliminate the hallway to the bathroom & have the closet span the whole width of the room. Also, your toilet room looks a little small, but I'm not sure if you're really worrying about that right now. Just remember, code in most areas is at least 15" on each side from the centerline of the toilet and at least 21" (but 30" is recommended) in front of the toilet. Here's a really good site that outlines all of the National Kitchen and Bath Association's guidelines: http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/bath.design.rules.htm

Questions to think about: Do you like the bed centered at a window or on a windowless section of wall? Do you need a TV opposite the bed? How important is an enclosed toilet? Answers to some extent dictate possible options. For instance, if you want enclosed toilet, current bathroom area could become toilet room plus a linen closet where current shower is. It's probably more expensive to move the toilet than the shower.

I think #2 is the best design. Everything fits together well.

option # 1 because it has the biggest shower.
