I would have redone the octogon to be a proper shaped extension or put a huge tub in there and then free up the rest for closet , sinks and toilet which BTW I hate toilet rooms they are IMO theweirdest thing. No one should use the toilet while someone else in in the bathroom and its a bathroom and contains a toilet so what if it shows.I have no idea where the office is , is this a second storey? Post a plan to scale where I can see the meaurements and name the spaces. Show all meaurements clearly .

I DO NOT recommend a closet which is accessed through the bathroom. Steam travels, and moisture can get into the closet if the door is opened while the bathroom is still steamy from a shower or bath. Moisture can also travel under the door if there is any gap. Moisture is not good
for clothing unless you are steaming an item on purpose.

This is single story and if you look at original plan it shows study and then master. The new print has the dimensions with the wall removed and the laundry in its new location off of study. You’re saying keep the toilet in the open space and not to worry about any type of wall separating it? Thank you!

I don’t like the toilet to show either when you walk in to the ensuite. I put a short wall on left of entry with an upper cabinet on floor with toe kick and lighted makeup mirror above. The toilet sits behind that short wall (no door, just not in immediate view). Our walk in shower is straight ahead on entry, so this is what you see. Our vanity with sink is to the right of entry.

I would place the tub in the octogonal space and build a platform around the tub so you don't need to try to clean under and around the tub. Up down shades will give you privacy while bathing.

Here are two ideas

or my favorite - incorporating your vanity into the same space as the tub, hubbys vanity by the shower - both have access to the closets in the entry to the bathroom area - a big full length mirror on the wall facing the doorway Still have room to add some linen storage.

inset the tub something like this

Jennifer, thank you so much for the ideas and the time you’ve taken with my bath. I like the bathtub in the octagonal space and what’s your thoughts on having a double vanity across from shower and built ins across from closet?

I would probably want the doors to the closets in the entry way to the bathroom rather than in the bathroom itself, although my sister's husband loves having his closet door directly across from the shower entry - he walks out of the shower and into his closet and gets dressed in the walk in closet.

I owned horses for many years, so I would go to work, get changed at work into jeans and a t-shirt, go to the ranch, take care of the horses, go home, eat, get a shower/bath and go to bed.

When I got dressed in the morning I got dressed in the bedroom - didn't need another shower since I had one right before going to bed.

I also didn't share a bathroom with my husband - I let him have the master bath and I used the guest bath. We were polar opposites on organization. I like everything in it's place and he liked everything hidden from sight, but it didn't matter if the spoons ended up in the drawer with dish clothes.

I put your vanity across from the tub because, even though it takes some space from your closet because you have the light from the windows that will reflect off the mirror and give you natural light for doing your hair and makeup and it is separated from the shower and toilet. Men generally brush their teeth, run a comb through their hair and shave. 10 minutes and they are out the door. We need a bit more space and time to do hair and makeup.

In my current home, where I live by myself, I added a seated vanity outside of my bathroom where I have great lighting and that is where I sit to do my hair and makeup. I grew up in a household with 6 kids and one kids bathroom, but each of our bedrooms had a seated vanity with a sink. I was spoiled and think every woman deserves her own space for this activity.

Think about how you and your husband prepare for the day. What will work best for each of you? How well do you share space? This is a great time for honest discussions. Does he wish you wouldn't be standing at the vanity when he really wants to be sitting on toilet to read his morning newspaper but never says anything because he doesn't want to rush you. Do you secretly hate that he leaves toothpaste in the sink or hangs his shirts and pants on the same rod in the closet.

Knowing how to design you space requires a level of intimate knowledge of your relationship and life that I don't have.

Here is another idea that puts the tub on display, but requires moving the bedroom door entry. Also the closet is through the bathroom, but good sized.

The shower is behind the entry door. You could put the toilet in that area behind the door and put in a large double shower where the toilet is drawn.

Closet would be 7 feet wide by almost 11 feet long.
