How much do you really need storage? looks like nice bathroom with good sized shower and separate toilet. no one wants a small shower. put bath storage in the closet or elsewhere if needed. i’d be happier with single sink and more storage as well but obviously some love their double sinks!

Definitely do NOT reduce the shower size or shape like that. Neo angles are awful to use. If you want to reduce the shower by a foot, and put that into the closet as storage, that's one thing, But, you'd be spending tens of thousands to do that, with zero bottom line return on usability or home value.

3x3 showers are *terrible* -- they were common in older homes, and nobody wants that!

I don't understand how a large shower overpowers a bathroom, unless it has very dark or dramatic tilework, which is a different issue than the footprint.

If you need more storage, I'd consider a shallow cabinet on the wall outside the toilet room. Or if that's not an entrance to the closet in that funny corner, I'd stand a cabinet there. (Not clear where the closet walls and entrance are.)

Thanks for your feedback. :) The closet is an open doorway on that angled random wall that is shown as 3' 1". I didnt get a chance to draw in the closet itself but basically its all the area in red. it shares the wall with the little toilet room and it shares a wall with the shower.

To convince yourself that a 36” shower instead of the nice space you have now would be a mistake-have someone hold up a sheet at 36” from the shower head wall and step inside. Does that feel spacious enough to wash long hair, shave one’s legs, pick up soap from the floor. I wouldn’t spend thousands$$$$$$ to make my shower feel like summer camp in the Poconos. I like the idea of changing out the double vanity for a single with more drawers

The issue is not the size of the shower. It is the cramped double vanity with little storage. Convert it to a single, with storage, and use more glass for the shower. There is zero chance that making a small shower helps anything here.

I was going to say the same thing. With this space, what you have is what you're going to have ... it's laid out nicely. Reducing the shower would give you a summer-camp sized shower and would add nothing. And, yes, it would be expensive.

Thought 1: Downsize the vanity to a single sink; this will allow you more storage.

Thought 2: Could you place a storage cabinet just outside the bathroom?

Very true, I guess I'm attached to the double vanity. lol But I can definitely part ways with it and getting a single sink with more drawers. Any downsides home value wise if the "master bath" only has 1 sink?

One vanity would not bother me even a little. There will be some buyers that may not like it because of that. I dont like sharing a bathroom with anyone anyway, so one sink, would suit me just fine.

In general, a double is more popular. But a well-designed bathroom is the main thing.

I honestly think you could put this on the wall by the toilet and not feel like it was a crisis.

(that is, the wall *outside* the toilet enclosure, but between the two doorways.)

My in-laws had a 36x36 shower. I always had to do gymnastics in it to shave my legs. I went to great effort to install a 42x42 shower in one of my rentals. That is a pretty nice size.

If it were me, I'd probably knock out the oddly angled closet and give myself the entire roughly 9x12 rectangle to rework and provide a better layout (is access to the closet possible in the room adjacent to the bath vs. having an angled walk-in entered via the bath?). Under no circumstances would I ever encourage you to downsize to a 3x3 shower. For what it's worth, we decided against a double vanity even with adequate space because we observed that we never brush our teeth at the same time and would prefer the storage space (we have four bathrooms and are a family of three though, so if someone needed a sink, they could just use a different one elsewhere in a pinch). These days, if I'm looking at potential homes as a buyer, the presence of a single vanity is fine if the rest of the room's layout makes sense. It wouldn't make me pass on a purchase.

If you can relocate the closet, you'll have plenty of space though - just Google 9x12 bath layout - tons of options.

Thanks for the great details! Yes our bathroom just has too much walls! Will definitely look into a 9x12 layout.

To me, it's all about proportion. A smaller Master will not be expected to have a huge shower OR double sinks. A compromise to a 3x4 shower would not be bad. It comes down to choices for the current homeowner. Ask yourself which would suit you more--two sinks or a bigger shower? When it comes to real estate value, think about whether you are in a town/neighborhood where everyone has the same-sized Master or even a Master at all.

What is your budget for changes? An average master bath is double the cost of an average hall bath, and a hall bath averages 30K to remodel. The lowest cost change is to just change the vanity out. But, if the rest of it is 1980's blue geese tile, you may already be planning on gutting it to the studs and starting over. But, if it was just done in 2010, you may not want to take on that level of ripping it apart.
