Master Bath layout - Need Help

8 years ago

My husband and I are struggling to figure out what to do with our mastet bath. We pushed out a wall to add 3’ and we’re relocating the water closet and vanities, then putting in a soaking tub. The problem is in order for the tub to be centered on the window, there will only be about 18” between the tub and vanity. We need as much vanity space as we can get but I really want the tub centered. Here are the options we’re considering:

-Leave the design as is and live with a tub that is not centered

-Move the tub over so it is centered on the window and have it super close to the vanity

-Move the tub so it is centered and install an L shaped vanity to leave more room near the tub

-Move the tub so it is centered and remove 12” of vanity space

Any feedback would be appreciated on the tub issue or the bathroom design overall!

This plan seems like it needs to be redone... sorry! There is a lot of waste space in the middle of the room and cleaning around that tub will be impossible. Is the enclosed toilet a must have?

Where do the two doors lead to?

I appreciate open space in a master bath! I think the plan is fine with one tweak. Eliminate the counter space to the right of the sink closest to the wall and scoot the whole vanity down to create the added space you need to center the tub on the window. You could make the space in between the two sinks a couple inches bigger as well.

The double doors lead to the master bedroom. I am okay with empty space but want to use the space wisely. Our current plan is below and it feels cramped and doors/drawers are always colliding. I really want as much vanity space as possible. We had separate 5’ vanities before and neither of us are thrilled about sharing.

I would opt for the L-shape of the two sinks to allow more standing room near the tub.

Chris m you hit the nail on the head—space is great when you have it to spare but not at the expense of a good layout! Let me stare at it a bit ... I think that long empty wall could be used better, to start!

Could you l-shape the vanity and angle the tub in the corner?
