Help! I cant seem to get my bathroom design right.

10 months ago
last modified: 10 months ago

I have a 10' 3" wide by 12' 1" long bathroom that I am struggling to redesign. A catastrophic pipe leak has led me to having to tear out the ceiling below this bathroom and push a renovation forward that was truly years down the road. Everything can be moved (shower, toilet, etc.).

I am struggling to reposition things due to the windows. The large window in the back of the bathroom is 47"x47", 33" from the right wall, and 32" off the floor. The small window in the current shower is 24" wide, 47" tall, and 34" off the back wall. I've attached pictures so you can can an idea of what I'm working with.

I am trying to place a free standing tub, large walk in shower, 80" vanity, and toilet in this bathroom. There should be ample space, but with the windows placement is difficult. I even thought of making the back half of the room a wet-room, I am open to any design!

I'd love a little privacy for the toilet (such as a half-wall). The current closet to the right of the entrance can go, and I was thinking of changing the door to a pocket door for a larger footprint. No need to keep the bidet.

Please excuse the mess and calamity in the pictures; this all happened very suddenly. Thank you all for any advice!

    I don't think jamming a free standing tub in a minimal space is worth the aggravation of maintenance. I'd create the deck, drop the tub in and use the deck as the seat inside the shower.
