Master bath remodel

I would love to have a slipper tub and shower of and of course a make up table. How can I make that happen with these room dimensions without it looking crowded?

The second option looks perfect! I have seen so many tight spaces with that layout that feel huge. Go for number 2! (The one with the angled slipper tub)

I would strongly encourage you to go with the first option, with the straight tub. Although I love tubs on diagonal, design 2 does not allow enough room between the toilet front and the tub for code. You should have at the very least 36" between the front of the toilet and the end of the tub and by your drawing it does not look that way.

Interesting I thought it was more than 21". Even so I would not recommend going that close. You get a guy in there standing at the toilet with only 21" and he is going to feel crowded by a tub that close behind him. If this was a tiny bath where space was at a premium I could see it, but its not. Why go there just to angle the tub ?

Interestingly enough, even Washington, which goes by the Uniform Plumbing Code, has amended the UPC from it's traditional 24" down to 21".

A tub, being no more than 24" tall doesn't really get in the way that much compared to a wall. Wall to wall, I prefer to go no less than 4'-4" and keep to the 24" clear space in front of the toilet.

Washington State (Uniform Plumbing Code amended)

402.5 Setting. Fixtures shall be set level and in proper alignment with reference to adjacent walls. No water closet or bidet shall be set closer than fifteen (15) inches (381 mm) from its center to any side wall or obstruction nor closer than thirty (30) inches (762 mm) center to center to any similar fixture. The clear space in front of any water closet or bidet shall be not less than twenty-one (21) inches (533 mm). No urinal shall be set closer than twelve (12) inches (305 mm) from its center to any side wall or partition nor closer than twenty-four (24) inches (610 mm) center to center.

Exception: The installation of paper dispensers or accessibility grab bars shall not be considered obstructions.
