Master closet and bathroom remodel ideas

29 days ago

The area is 13'7 by 11' 4. Willing to remove the walls and start over. The closet currently has two sides open to bedroom and will close one side. Would like a walk in shower with half wall. Window in bathroom.

    Sounds like you're off to a good start. Closing off one of the entrances of the closet will give you more hanging space.


    A shower with a pony wall will be nice.

    the photos are helpful, but a to scale measurement floor plan will get you what you want.

    Measure the space, include windows and doors, and plumbing location(s).

    Existing layout, and what you hope to achieve.

    You plan to close off one side of the closet and enlarge the bathroom to include a larger shower?

    a double vanity? Why not just refurbish what you have with a sleeker look?

    Tile shower, glass door, new vanity, new tile flooring, new fixtures? What about storage space for clothes?

    You need to make the scaled drawing of the available space with all dimensions listed. If you do that, people will provide you with ideas/suggestions re: the best way to divide the space + layout the bathroom.

    Do the drawing on graph paper to scale as it is now . Every window, doorways where those lead clearly marked. Every measurement clearly marked then posted here in Jpeg format in a comment. Pics are great but a must is a to scale plan

    "Having trouble making this idea work! Don't know how to lay it out."

    If you're having trouble coming up with a layout, and you're living IN the space, you realize that we're at more of a disadvantage without a scaled drawing. Please post an existing plan.

    Do this..........EVERY wall ,every window, every opening......has feet and inches

    A version of this, with accurate dimensions to the INCH

    Hopefully this works. I have attached the builder floor plan.

    This creates a dressing area, with shelves with baskets or shallow drawers on the left, mirror. Pocket door to closet for when you don’t want to see all the stuff.

    Bathroom: remove the cabinet, lengthen the vanity with one sink in the middle and banks of drawers on each side.

    Wall at end, separating the toilet a bit (the green line). Shower also has a full-height wall (green), for the shower controls, the rest is glass door.

    Ordinarily I would have a cabinet stretching from one green wall to another, but you have a window that you want to keep. The ”green wall” between toilet and vanity can have a medicine cabinet on the vanity side, the other side of the vanity can have a medicine cabinet, too.

    Thank you, planning on taking the wall down in the middle of the closet and closing the wall like you have. Making a nice, larger tiled shower.

    What are your goals? What do you want to gain by closing off one closet door? Personally, unless the closets are Spouse 1 and Spouse 2, and you do laundry separately, I would prefer one closet (it's what we have, and it makes it very convenient to put away clean clothes).

    After closing off the right door and opening up the wall between the two closets, I would do something like this:



    At 6' wide you don't have space for hanging clothes on both sides, but there is definitely room for shelves. Our closet is 6' wide, and this is essentially the layout we have, and it works great, even if Hubby and I happen to be in the closet at the same time. When we bought this house 4 years ago, we put clothes in a dresser in the bedroom, but it was a pain to put away hanging and folding clothes in the closet, then carry the basket into the bedroom to put away drawer stuff. After I added drawers to the closet for socks and undies, we now use the dresser for winter clothes: wool socks, ski pants, long underwear, sweaters - things that don't get used every day.

    In our case, I ran a double rod along the back wall. I keep long dresses in the guest room closet. I built it using Dakota Closets from Menards (very easy to assemble).

    You need every last inch...............defined by decent shower or not. - adequate closet or not. How

    Much sharing of closet or separate

    Toilet space code is 30" too tight and 36 inches is better. Want a bigger shower? Shrink the vanity, but note I took the linen closet.

    Builder floor plans note FRAMING centers, These are your inches interior space,

    Where I noted* vanity extra length is storage, and would be under your window not even apparent on the builder plan.

    Toilet is jiggled into former shower locale.
