Master Bathroom Floorplan

17 years ago

So I just bought a home and I am working on re-designing the master bathroom and one of the master closets. I would love any input on floor plan ideas.

Here are the specifics:

The space(bath plus one master closet) is 13' by 11'7"

(we have another master closet that is 8' by 6')

here is the current layout:

ideally we would have:

-dual vanity 6' or longer (at very minimum 5.5')

-toilet in a compartment (or alcoved)

-tub -5.5' by 3' jet (we are both about 6' so we prefer a bigger tub - but this is the first place we would cut costs)

-shower 4 by 5 with bench (minimum 3' by 4')

-a good sized second master closet (walk in)

I have come up with a bunch of designs...but I keep getting stuck. Please give me your advice!

here is one of the layouts I like the best (so far):

(you can zoom in on the picture to see the details)

do you think this one would work? do you have a better idea?

I keep getting torn on how small/large to make the closet!

So I forgot to mention some info that could be helpful:

on the new plan - the wall behind the tub and shower is an
exterior wall

there are no windows in the bathroom except for one skylight above the toilet (in the old plan) or tub/shower (in the new plan)

and it is a 105 year old victorian so we wont add any windows on that exterior wall & the rest of the walls are interior

the new plan is rotated 90 degrees clockwise - so the hallway in the original plan is actually located at the bottom of the jpg of the new plan now (sorry about that..)

finally, here is a better upload of the new plan:

Old plan - 1 square = 0.5 feet
new plan - has measuements on it, but 2 squares = 0.5 feet

I think overall you have a nice plan, but there are a few concerns. Will you have a drop-in tub with a nice surround? If so, you'll have to allow 4 to 6 inches all the way around for the surround which means you'll have to shrink the shower some.

That long closet may be tempting, but it's quite unattractive and closes in the room. If nothing else, make that outside corner a 45 degree corner. I personally would sacrifice more closet to gain a nice open feeling with a nice view as you enter.

Here are a few renderings with the space opened up much more. The curved tub surround is to allow for a regular door plus casing into the toilet area.

Hope this helps.

Here is another idea.

I was concerned with whether I would be making things a litle too tight with the closet so large.

I really like the corner sink idea (I feel like you can always have more counterspace & I think the shower still has plenty of room with a surround on the tub.
What program did you use to make those? Those 3-d images give a much better feel for the room. I have more re-doing to do and I would the name of a good program.
Thank you again!

I use Punch Pro, but I think most people really like Better Homes and Gardens program. I would have posted a floorplan, but I have to print it, rescan it back into the computer, then upload it to Photobucket. With the 3D, I can save it as a JPEG right away. If you give me the color scheme you are going for, I can change that for you.

I forgot to mention that you will be very happy with a 5.5 foot tub even though you are tall. You want to be able to have your feet touch the end of the tub so you won't slide down.
