Well. Are you all framed and plumbed? You either MOVE the bath entry, or you pocket door.

The flaw was in the plan at the start.

Pocket door--how does how often it's used enter in? #2DD lives in a tiny home with many pocket doors. It's from the '40s. They all work fine. If you are still planning I would rethink the closet and bathroom combo. That's a disaterous NEW idea I'll never get.

Whatever above, assuming you need all the doors, especially to a closet, where the view on entry could be a mirror or art?

What's your concern with putting in a pocket door? They were invented exactly for spaces like this.

Just if it would be a pain with how often it would open and close, since they are a little more difficult to pull open and shut than a standard door!

I mean, I guess they're a little harder to open and close than a regular door since they're different, at least at first, and take some getting used to. Make sure the builder uses high-quality track that is soft open/close and test out the "handle" hardware yourself in-person. There's a huge variety in style and ease-of-use (or not easy to use ).

Anna's idea with a vestibule is your best option.

I understand not wanting a pocket door here if you want privacy in the bathroom. You do have a separate toilet closet though. We have a regular door to our bathroom that we really only close at night to block light (huge window with no light blocking treatment in the bathroom). So a pocket door wouldn't really be a big deal for us. Depends on how much privacy you want from your spouse when you shower.

I really like your vestibule idea. I was going to suggest it, because I wish we had it. If you and your spouse have different sleep schedules, you could even put a pocket door on the vestibule as shown in the original plan and also have the separate swing doors. Only use the pocket door when one spouse is sleeping and the other is getting ready and needs access to both closet and bathroom.

I do find pocket doors loud and a bit more difficult to operate, so I would not want them where they're used super regularly, but if only on occasion, they can be useful.

Hinged in to the bathroom, swinging towards the closet. Then it is out of the way most of the time but still easy to close. I agree, I would not want a loud pocket door there.

Just looked at the vestibule drawing, hinged on the bedroom door frame and swing up against the bathroom wall.

Like this? This isn’t a bad option and keeps it one door vs adding another — and out of the bedroom.

This: but note, that is a pocket door not a barn door at the entrance to the closet. Here’s why I like this::The bathroom needs a door. The vestibule should be both graceful meaning you have room to move in it, and useful. This allows it to have art on the pocket door wall, and mirror at the end. So you can see yourselves after the final coif or accessory as you leave. And the closet should have a door, but you probably won’t use it very often.

Anna, yes like that. The door will probably only be closed in the morning when getting dressed so this wy the door is out of the way. Also I wouldn't do a door on the closet unless you can see into it from the bedroom. Just something else to open and walk around.

Like this? Glad the suggestions people have are all options we have/are considering!

I agree RNmomof2! It would live open unless my husband was getting ready early and I was still sleeping for example.

Yes, you drew it better than I could. I like the way that looks and feels.

What kind of window is that in your closet? Is it high, for privacy comfort but also to limit light that can fade clothing, but provide just enough light to see how you look in natural light? EDIT: I see now it is obscure glass, but how obscure? We stayed in a hotel once with white opaque glass to the bathroom, but you sure could see silhouettes through it.

Question about the kneehole: will you have enough drawer storage at each sink for the two of you, plus cleaning supplies, extra tp, health and beauty aids, bath linens? Do you think you might like a high window in the toilet room?

I’m thinking about the bathroom lightswitch. If you do the door as in the latest image, is there room on the wall immediately to the left of the door for a switch? Same with the closet, I suppose, although there I might do a motion sensor, There still has to be a switch somewhere, though.

Will you actually use a kneehole re: your vanity? I had one in my previous vanity - but it was never used once. My new vanity takes advantage of that wasted space for more storage.

P.S. I want a packing island!! Unfortunately, while my closet is over 18’ long, it isn’t 11’ wide = no 6’ packing island for me (I’m changing my current closet to include more built-ins vs. a ton of long hanging areas) - would love a packing space like you have!

OMG, I want a packing island too!!!!

I can pack anywhere if I am going to the island.

No door needed.

I use a pocket door to my master bath/closet. It stays open all the time. You have a pocket door already to the toilet. I’d put a pocket door in and be done with it.

TIL the marketing term "Packing Island." Proof above it excites people more than "Island" or "Recycled Clothes Pile and Lint Rolling Island." Though I'll stick with "makeup counter" which rather than "kneehole" designates height as well and doesn't sound weird.

As far as the door the layout is perfectly suited to the first revised iteration of a vestibule and 2 swing doors, no need to introduce a pocket door or anything else.

I had never heard Packing Island either. Doesn't really seem like the right one.

Anyway, yes. The original versatile with two swing doors. Done. If you really need the bathroom and closet to have a door too (for schedule differences), put the pocket door into the bedroom that can stay open most of the time.

If I had a closet island with drawers, I could sure pack a lot of stuff into it!

Whatever, I still think a lot easier. No banging and the closet needs nothing. We aren't seeing the bedroom in total- I'll just hope it's bigger than the closet?

Gee, Jan, I don’t know. The bedroom doesn’t have to be any bigger than a bed and two nightstands, which could fit in a space the size of the closet. (We had an 11’x14’ bedroom with queen bed, one nightstand, dresser, chest of drawers. And a tiny little bookcase about 12”x9” that just fit on the other side of the bed as a nightstand.)

I'd still want a separate - maybe with a single light door that is frosted, but I want to close the closet to moisture.

Add a door to Jan's drawing that opens into the closet.

I'd not want to be able to see clothes at all when I walked into the bath.

If a bath is properly ventilated, there is no need for a door to a closet, that ( trust me ) will not ever be closed. It's a brand new bath. there should be no long lingering humidity or moisture.

Food for thought.

If you have a cat, or a dog, that door will be closed. Trust me...
