Master Bathroom Layout Help
We are working to modify this house plan. I am not very good with closet layouts. We have made some changes to the master bathroom. The garden tub in now a very large shower. How should we arrange the shelving/rods in the his/her clots to best utilize space in the closets? In which direction should the doors open to maximize space. Also, the vanity is now just a one bowl vanity with the other end as a makeup vanity (yes I prefer this layout). The original area is now a closet. Please help me to determine how to arrange shelving and the door opening in this areas as well. A pocket door will not work well in this space due to the dimensions of the space. We will have a pocked door leading to the bathroom.

11 years agolast modified: 11 years agoSeveral thoughts:
I love the window (even more if you tell me it's a window seat) in the master bedroom, but where will you place the bed? If you place it with the head against the bathroom, someone has a loooong walk around the bed to reach the bathroom .... whereas, if you place it on the other wall, you walk into the room and can't see the headboard, which is odd.
As for the bathroom, I say TOO COMPLICATED! Too many doors, just too much going on.
A plan: swap the bedroom and bathroom. This will give you bedroom windows on THREE walls, which means better lighting and cross-ventilation, AND it'll allow you to fix both of the above problems. AND it'll allow you to bump the two bathrooms up against one another, which means you'll consolidate plumbing and save money.
After moving the bath to the center-house position, I'd do a super simple two-sided master bath: Tub and shower on one side, toilet and sink on the other side ... and a window straight ahead of the door. Something similar to this, but -- obviously -- tilted 90 degrees:
Of course, this means you'd need a hallway to the master bedroom. You could do a long narrow walk-in closet in this hallway.
Finally, I'd re-think the pocket door leading to the bathroom. Pocket doors are perfect for doors that stay open most of the time, but they are not as easy to use as hinge doors, and you'll get tired of them as a main bathroom door.
