Master Bathroom layout struggles - please help

9 years ago
We are redoing our master bathroom but cannot figure out the optimal layout, going some of y'all can help. ideally we'd like a large shower and a large double vanity, everything else is fair game. We cannot move the location of the door, but we can have it open the other way if that helps. THANK YOU!!

    The bathroom is good sized! You can put two (his/her) 6' vanities on opposite ends. The tub or shower can be in the middle.

    I think with a space this large enclosing the toilet with its own water closet would be nice.

    Are there any windows?

    Yea, it's a good width, but it's really shallow, which is what's causing problems. And yes, there is a window on the right wall. 60" x 18" up high.

    Hi Jan. The toilet is in the top right, but it can be moved anywhere. We have confirmed that. So we are literally starting with a blank slate. Thank you!

    Think this about the best you're going to do...... six feet IS a challenge, so may as well have a roomy shower, basically 36 x 72.. You can pocket door at loo "closet" with a double 18" to close at center. Leave it open for daylight the rest of the time. May need to reduce vanity to 66". to do that . The shallow shelf linen tower in toilet area is no more depth than 15 inches inside....not sure how high your window elevation. I would not crowd vanity with double sinks. It's the best view into the room, the roomiest shower and most toilet privacy you will get.. Keeping the vanity to 66"/ 72" allows a bit of storage, and still allows knee room in toilet closet. . Not POSSIBLE to go to the window wall with vanity and be able to even turn around, and it matters not which corner you try the toilet, it's the same issue all four.

    A little messy......several erase "events" %%$$#@ . Tape/chalk it all on the floor of the gutted space and adjust as comfy is my advice.

    If you want to skip pocket doors and not see loo looking into bath? ........change the door swing!! If this is not a shared type of ......ahem!! ..... you'll have more light and open feeling with less toilet privacy. Actually, I'd really consider centering the door entry on vanity, depending location in master..........oh, just remembered your no on that. Oh well.

    i agree with Jan to maximize shower, even at the expense of doing a single basin vanity. you'll thank her every time you shower.

    you can have the sink basin to one side, also, to allow a larger counter to do hair and make up, not over the sink.

    IF the shower can allow a window side location, LAST option below. Basically reversed, but would allow as high lighted in pink, linen, or 30 x 21 vanity, or make up spot with bench tucked under. And of course that allows full daylight from the 14 x 60 window IN the shower.. That really is the end of the possible, without a huge compromise to efficiency and comfort. Toilet can go either end, so if you'd rather see lovely baskets of soaps and rolled towels when the door is in the pocket?.....put the loo at the vanity end end of toilet closet.

    For the average man, 30 inches of vanity is plenty for a shave and blow dry, so if you like to hog the large vanity......feel no guilt) as five feet inside floor space for toilet can allow shallow linen tower inside the loo. Actually it's a better plan than my first, but I am a morning person...........and I'm O. U. T. Good luck!!

    ( you can not have a generous shower AND a truly generous double vanity, which really means seven/eight feet of vanity.. Not possible on six foot width.)
