I vote for yes, move the closet. The shower sharing a wall with that bedroom may mean lots of shower noise in that room, potentially disturbing sleep. A closet could help buffer that. I think that bump out would be fun to space to create a built in desk with a window above it, or a window seat, or even to nestle a bed into.

While I agree it would help bring light in and stifle noise from the bathroom, it would also make the room 2 feet narrower to 9'5" which is very narrow.

I would leave the closet where it is based on the fact that the room will be really narrow. Consider sound proofing the wall with the bathroom to minimize noise transfer. Simple solutions like Roxul soundproofing and double drywall with gree guard on that wall will buffer most sounds significantly. The wall may have to be a little thicker by about an inch or so for the thicker drywall.

Good luck!

The small hall outside the kids' bathroom seems like quite a waste of square footage. If you don't mind putting a smaller closet in that right side bedroom, what about shifting things around something like this..

Benje that would only give a 3 1/2' wide closet which would not be useful for clothing or for pantry storage.

You're right, cp. I did that quickly. If closet size is a lesser priority than the windows, perhaps this will work. Personally, I like having closets and bedroom doors on the same or adjacent walls more than across the room from each other. My family keeps minimal wardrobes, so a smaller closet wouldn't be a problem for us but I understand many others want larger closets.

Thanks for the feedback!

I forgot to mention I was actually thinking about flipping the bathroom so I could get a tiny linen cupboard (we are really short on storage space). Like this:

benjesbride - I think I will need more than a 3 foot closet but let me think on it.

You are all creative - keep the suggested improvements coming!

I think flipping the bathroom is a great idea. As for the closet, and light, and views, etc.... I'm a minimalist when it comes to bedrooms. I don't want or need much in the way of space. Almost all of the time I spend in my bedroom is while it is dark out anyway. In fact, as we are designing a new home, we are planning the master bedroom to have the least desirable views and leaving the amazing views to the living spaces.

So, with the above in mind, I'd leave the closet as is as it will make for a weird room otherwise.

Ok - keeping the kid closet where it is. Any changes/improvements needed in the master bed/bath? I'm nervous about only having room for bed and one long dresser. We are losing our current tall dresser spot in order to have all the closet sliders. Bathroom expanding a little to get double sinks but couldn't get a private toilet. Any thing I'm missing?

What's the climate? If you're in a cold area, there will be more insulation from the north facing wall with the closet there, however your clothes could end up a little chilly, because of the lack of airflow.

What colours do you like to decorate with? The light from a north facing window will give a different cast to the room that the east facing windows will (I think this still applies even if the east facing windows are shaded, but maybe cpartist can chime in).

And California so no extreme cold.
