To start I never like a trek thorugh the bathroom to get to the closet . I aslo want you to try a free standing tub to get in and out of before planning one. I hate toilet rooms inside a bathroom IMO no one should be using the toilet when someone else is in the bathroom I also don’t like huge bathrooms they are a waste of space and to clean them a waste of energy. Could you post the whole house floor plan to show where this space is in realtion to the rest of the house. Also do you have kids ? More info gets more help usually

Your first problem is the angled walls. I'm guessing there are lots of other problems with the house layout.

Here's a good checklist as to best practices:

The best houses orient the public rooms towards the south for the best passive solar heating and cooling

The best houses are L, U, T, H, or I shaped.

The best houses are only one to two rooms deep. And covered lanai, porches, garages, etc count as rooms in this case. (As an example in your above plan, if you have another room to the right of your great room, that's already one room too many.)

The best houses make sure kitchens have natural light, meaning windows so one doesn't have to have lighting 24/7 to use the kitchen. (And no, dining areas with windows 10' or more from the kitchen will not allow for natural light.)

The best houses make sure all public rooms and bedrooms have windows on at least two walls.

The best houses do not if possible put mechanical rooms, pantries or closets on outside walls and especially NOT on outside corners.

The best houses keep public and private spaces separate.

The best houses do not have you walk through the work zone of the kitchen to bring laundry to the laundry room.

The best houses do not have the mudroom go through any of the work zones of the kitchen.

The best houses do not use the kitchen as a hallway to any other rooms.

The best houses do not put toilets or toilet rooms up against bedroom walls or dining areas.

The best houses do not have walk in closets too small to stand inside.

Angled walls usually lead to wasted and unusable space.

The best houses have an organizing “spine” so it’s easy to determine how to get from room to room in the house and what makes sense.

So how many of these best practices does your house have?

cpartist, why no closets in outside corners? Just curious.

Thanks for the input!

We are empty nesters with 3 grown children. I, personally, do not mind going through a bathroom to get to my closet, and as my husband and I frequently are getting ready at the same time I prefer a separate toilet room. I do think I should re-explore the free standing tub....I had wondered about the "getting in and out" already - especially as we age.

I will post full layout of the house, but here are a few items to note. The back faces south, and it is not on a normal "city" lot. This is on 5 acres and is about 500' off the road. That is how the kitchen on the front came to be....so we could see from front through to the back from kitchen area.

As someone who also has a private toilet room, I highly recommend adding a small window I that room. You won’t regret it.
