Bathroom Layout ideas

8 years ago

This is a rough drawing of our master bathroom layout. We're planning on eventually completely remodeling it. The current layout breaks the space up into a lot of small rooms, so I'd like to open the space up. I would prefer not to move windows/

walls around if possible. Any suggestions for improving this layout?

    I think you need to have a really good designer rearrange this space. It is a good size but I see your problem , it is a poorly designed space with lots of potential. Are you planning on to the studs redesign ? Do you have the ability to change the plumbing runs?

    What’s your budget? 59K? 100K? 150K?

    Ditto Patricia. Find a qualified designer to find the best use of the space before you go any further. Mistakes cost far more over the long term compared to getting it right the first time. Best of luck.

    Yes, I figured it’ll probably be down to the studs, & plumbing will have to be rearranged too. I was just hoping to avoid moving windows if possible to save some of the cost.

    Hire one. Now. If you have a realistic budget to begin with.

    This one is a bit tricky, I agree with everyone who is saying to hire a professional. Would make your life much easier.

    Great space...horrible layout. I realize that you would prefer not to move walls or windows, but, if you aren’t willing to consider that, you’re condemning yourself to another badly configured set of spaces. That tight bathroom with the shower accessed by squeezing past the toilet -- after you close the door whose swing is obstructed by the toilet -- has to go. Frankly, you need to start from scratch. With that much room, a designer could give you a truly wonderful and functional space.

    I don’t mind moving walls. Especially that one in between the two sinks. I think that has to go for sure. I’d like to try to avoid moving the windows if possible, just because that means figuring out how to replace and match the cedar siding outside, which seems like it could add a lot to the cost.

    We will hire a professional to do the work, I was just looking for some rough ideas to take with me ahead of time.

    I guess I should’ve been more specific. The interior walls of that space I am fine with moving. The ones surrounding the perimeter would be a little harder to move because they are either exterior walls or would go into other rooms in the house.

    How high off the floor are the two windows?

    I don't think anyone was thinking you should do anything with moving perimeter walls...that's unnecessary. The windows may or may not be a limiting concern. However, if a great design would involve a window modification, the costs would be a small part of an overall re-work of that space.

    Windows are about 34.5” from the floor.

    If we have to move the windows, we will do that too. I was just ideally trying to keep things simple if there is a good layout that keeps the windows where they are.

    Since you are willing to move interior walls, I'm sure a designer can give you good options with and without changing the windows.
