I prefer the tub under the window (2nd version). But I really hate having the entrance to the WIC inside the bathroom. Re-configure to have the door to the closet inside the bedroom, not the bath.

Yes unfortunately we cannot change that due to fireplace hearth and a large double bureau that must go there. Thanks for the feedback though on the tub!

I like the option with the largest shower.

I like the second option too - 3x4.5 shower should feel plenty big (I have 3.5x5 with a freestanding teak bench and it feels huge). And a 4.5' tub is tiny- smaller than the normal shower/tub combo.

Of course, baths are controversial on this site. Some people think they should be nixed altogether, others might suggest bigger shower over tub placement. But I think in any case (except nixing the tub), option 2 is better.

If you happen to be like us and enjoy using your tub, then you'll want the 5.5' size. We have a soaking tub that's 5.5' long and it's a great size for one person (still a little tight for dual soaking). Your second bath placement looks like a good size, and also a pleasant place to soak, with view lines and light from the window.

To the extent your bath would just be for show, it shows better in a niche with a window visible from the door than it would tucked behind the vanity.

Also, who wants to feel on display in the shower? I think the more tucked away private location would be nice for everyday showering.

Thanks much for the opinions. Any thoughts on the toilet room question or the shower heads?

How about the shower under one window, tub under the other window, and the toilet on the sink wall.
