There has to be a way... 8'x13' master bath w/5 pieces + WC & WIC?

10 years ago

We have 8' x 13' available to push out our master bath (from 5' x 8' currently). The long wall has a large window from 1.5' to 8.5', and opposite long wall needs a door from master somewhere along it. Nothing on either short wall, and anything is game as far as layout. I feel like there's got to be a way to fit a 5+' two sink vanity, a toilet room, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub (preferably stand alone), and still find somewhere in the room to make a small dressing area/3-4' closet... I love the look of making the shower bigger and sticking the tub inside it, but don't feel like that has to happen. I even cut out the pieces and keep sliding them around. There's enough space, but there's not a good feel yet. Anyone got spatial reasoning gifts to help?

I am in the mist of adding a 8by13 master and you will not be able to fit all that into the space comfortably. Prioritize your wants. We omitted the soaker tub for a larger jetted shower and opted for one vanity in favor of storage space.

Is the overall space 8x13' or are you adding that amount?

What are the dimensions of the room? Are there windows you must work around?

post a dimensional drawing with accurate interior measurements and existing features.

I am trying to upload the image, but nothing is showing up even though there is no error message. It is 8' by 13' rectangle. Window on the long wall from the corner to the middle.

Roarah, can you share what you did on the jetted shower?

Right now, we have a bath/shower combo, a double vanity and a toilet all in 5x8. Yes, it is way too cramped (sitting on the toilet to brush your teeth comes to mind), but if we're almost tripling the space, shouldn't there be a way to essentially add just two additional features (separating the bath and shower and adding the small closet)?

It's a little tight, but I bet you can squeeze it in (assuming the interior dimensions of the room are a full 13' wide by 8' deep).

Here's one idea for layout with the tub centered in front of the window, a 5' double sink vanity with open shelving for towels/baskets on the side nearest the tub, an (almost) 4' x 3' shower, separate toilet room, and 4' closet.

Good luck!

redfoxco, good try, but there is not enough space between tub and closet. 30" is not enough room.

You don't say what your ages are but if you're getting up there in age, you also want to think ADA compliant.

smaller closet in the above layout? Just a 2' closet for linens? and/or a pocket door would be great because opening the door will smack someone at the sink, or maybe have it open out if there is wall space on the other side.
