Feedback on bathroom layout

6 years ago

Here is what was given to us by the architect for adding a bathroom. This is a smaller house and therefore small master and now new master bath. I’m not in love with either, prefer the double vanity. Window doesn’t currently exist, so it is moveable. Also we asked for a pocket door, it’s been drawn as a normal door on these plans. Is there a better layout? I prefer the window direction in the drawing with the double vanity, but better layout is more important. Also don’t like the linen closet on the counter (do not like this design at all, seems to be in a lot of builds in our area). The room measures out to 6’.6” by 11’

For the 2nd picture, what if you swap the toilet and vanity to have a double Vanity and put up a wall to give the toilet some privacy with it being right off the entrance?

I don't care for those split up vanities and I also dont' care for the towers on top of the cabinets.

Here is what you are proposing - I think

I would have them fir out a wall so the showerhead can go on the vanity wall and not have concern about being an outside wall - you then can also have a niche there if you would like. A 6ft shower is very large - I think you could do 5 ft and add cubbies for additional storage ( area in blue ).A pocket door is very nice - I am not a fan of a small wall by the toilet. You are trying to open the room, not create more obstructions.

You should wind up with about 42 for the shower and 7 1/2 ft for the vanity!

Good luck!

I love this window in the shower! And yes my husband isnt a fan of plumbing on outside walls. I want a half wall tiled in the shower, drywall on the outside with half the glass going up,less glass to clean. I’ll try to find a picture

If you're just trying to make the toilet discreet, lay the bathroom out so a wall hides it and skip the door. No one will ever close the door while sitting in a tiny closet because it will be too small and dark.

Here's a mock-up of what I'd do. The window bottom is at shoulder height so that you get lots of light but also privacy.
