Master Bath Renovation - Layout
This is the first time I am undertaking a bath (or kitchen) renovation and I would love to take advantage of all the good ideas and experience of this site's users. This is not my forever house but will live here with my husband for at least another 5 to 10 years. The kids are all in college or are out. We will be gutting the existing bathroom -- layout below (but not exactly to scale) and we will not be replacing the seldom used tub (and we have two other tubs in the house). I did have a space planner come out and her design is below. It's a nice design and a good option but definitely open to others. In fact, I probably will go without the separate toilet room as has designed in order to save a little on cost. Also, until the room is gutted, we won't know whether the toilet can be easily moved or not. So I need to consider a Plan B of keeping the toilet where it is (and most certainly this will save a bit of money, as well). The other thing that might need a bit of explanation is the existing closet. it's an odd shape closet that goes back around the existing shower. We discovered that odd shape wall in the closet includes an AC duct. Will probably need to keep that where it is. The space planner's design has the shower going into the front half of the closet with the back half being closed off, but with access to a new door in the adjoining bedroom, In fact, I have the original blue prints and there was a door originally there leading into the bathroom - so originally it was a Jack-and-Jill!
Although I like the space planner's ideas, I may need to see if I can come up with a floor plan that would save some labor costs, etc, to bring down the overall costs by 10% to 12%
Other ideas would be to leave the toilet where is, put the shower where the current tub is, move the vanity down, keep the closet but maybe add a small washer and dryer there or remove part of the closet for more floor space and/or storage. Would love to hear your ideas!
Here's the original layout:
