Need help redesigning my AWKWARD master bathroom and closets

11 years ago
My master bathroom is in need of some serious help! It's roughly a 9' x 6' bathroom (shower is not included in this measurement) with two doorways - one from the master bedroom and another from the hallway. This is our only bathroom downstairs so it's the one guests often use (and see our clutter!). There are 4 closets spaces available - two in the master bedroom (shown in picture 2), a linen closet (space to the left of the toilet in picture 3) and entryway coat closet (space to the right of the shower shown in picture 1). Here are my goals:

1. Update and enclose the master bathroom so there's just one entry from the bedroom. I'm also hoping for a larger shower/tub - at 30" x 30", it's nearly impossible not to feel cramped.

2. Redo the closets - Is it even possible to do a walk-in closet with this space? I rather have one big closet than several small ones. I can get rid of the linen closet since I have another one upstairs. What's your opinion on closet openings from bathrooms? Will items in my closet suffer from all the steam in bathrooms?

3. Add a small powder room for guests. I am open to converting the shower space and entryway closet to make room for the powder room, but am stumped as to how to layout the master bathroom, especially with a small window in the corner next to the vanity.

I know it sounds like a lot, but I'm hoping it'll improve the function, look, and value of our house. Any suggestions or opinions?
