Please critique my bathroom?

10 years ago

Left is the way it's now, right is the plan. (That's a king size bed, for reference.)

I would like to have:

- bathroom and closet closed off from bedroom

- a separate water closet, but I don't want to move the sewer too far

- a clawfoot tub (love the look & 5 piece bath is good for resale)

- a shower that preferably does not spray against the shower doors

- double vanities kinda goes without saying, but what I would also like is a deeper drawer with an outlet in for all my hair implements, and more drawers for all my other "stuff" that I won't have to bend down for too much (which is why I have 3 drawers stacks)

- love extra bathroom storage (cabinet in loo)

I could have designed this bathroom many ways if I didn't have these restrictions, of course. What I'd like to know is if there is something seriously wrong with this particular design.

(The reason I put the hip walls in is to make the wet room look less like a fishbowl. Or like a cell, I guess, since I really like the steel "grid" look. This is sort of what I'm going for, but with more transparent glass.)

Thanks so much!!

PS: Yes, there are windows in the closet! Haha. The house is built on separate levels and those windows peek over the roof of the master bedroom.

I would not buy a home with a claw foot tub. EVER. Bad selling point unless your home was built in the 1800's. A shower, yes. Extra storage is good. It looks like it has no flow.

The claw foot tub is a personal preference for sure!

I'm not sure what you mean with "flow"? The spaces are big enough for two people to go about their business..

Do you do your own cleaning? A claw foot as drawn will be difficult to clean around.

My folks have a wet room setup like yours and built in their tub for cleaning reasons. We have a freestanding tub, but more room to maneuver around it.

Would you like a window over the tub?

I can't have a window there, unfortunately (townhouse).

I thought this double slipper tub, being sloped on the sides, would give me more room to maneuver for cleaning. I also plan on getting the faucets wall-mounted, which leaves only the drain pipe and legs in the way. And of course there will be a drain at the shower and I plan on getting hand shower/tub faucet combo which should also help.
