Option 1 seems reasonable - prefer it to the zig-zag of option 2.

@suezbell I think the top wall has windows in it

I like number one. My daughter has a setup similar to that in that the tub and vanity are across from each other in an 88 inch wide space. So you have 3 more inches. She has the door opening into the bathroom against the tub. I would not have it open out into the hallway. Make sure the door entry is located so that the vanity counter does not interfere with the door trim.

Thanks for the thoughts!

@suezbell there is a high window on the top wall.I like your idea, unfortunately our plumber thinks switching the toilet and tub will be out of our budget.

@Karenseb that is good to hear! do you know how deep her vanity is? I would like to keep a 22" depth, but it does seem like that will run into the door trim. I wonder if there is a way to minimize the trim. We have a modern style house, so if we can make a minimal flush trim work I would love to do it.

Oh and we are considering a barn door, since the space is tight. I'd love to hear if anyone has successfully used a barn door for a bathroom. I don't usually love the way they look, but function is my priority.

You could do a 48" long vanity to give you breathing space around the door trim.

Generally barn doors aren't considered great for bathrooms since (1) they don't block noise as well and (2) locking can be tricky. Could you have the door hinged on the tub side but swing out instead of into the bathroom?

Hm, those are good points @damiarain

I'm attaching a rendering with a 48" vanity and a hinged door. It is important the door hinges into the bathroom, unfortunately, because the basement hallway has a lot of doorways that get in each others' way. The door trim does look less crowded now, but I am not sure how I feel about the blank space between the vanity and the wall. Any suggestions for what to put there to make use of that space? There's about 10" of space.

Thank you!

Her 22 inch deep vanity does intrude on the trim, but her room is 3 inches narrower. So you should be okay. 32 (tub) +2 inch(tub tile to door trim) + 35 ( door plus trim) + 22 inch counter = 91 inches.

I like the idea of a stand alone 48 inch vanity. You could just move it closer to the doorway (about 5 inches from the door and add the space to the toilet area where you could put the trash can between the vanity and toilet.

If you are going modern, you could do a narrower wall hung vanity and put storage across from the toilet (also wall hung). Ikea has some nice looking storage and vanities.

If you are doing custom, you can have a vanity made to fit the space. My daughter had a vanity made 20 inches deep with a 21 inch deep counter counter

Don’t move the doorway. The door should open INTO the bathroom so nobody will get bashed by accident. I would have the door hinged on the right to open against the sink side so nobody can possibly hit the shower enclosure with the knob.

l like #1 best..it's cleaner. If you want to go with a shorter vanity, you could add some floating shelves to the right of the vanity

Moving a door will cost $ too. I wonder if it’s worth waiting until you can save up to move the plumbing. It seems a shame to invest all this money on a remodel if you‘re constrained by a layout that you don’t love. Do you need a tub in the basement? Converting to a corner shower (upper right hand corrner?) might open up a lot of options.

I like the door opening against the tub because the sink is more often used. You can use a hing restrictor to keep the door from hitting the glass enclosure on the tub. You could also use a shower curtain.
