Needing a floor plan for a master bathroom. 17’ by 10’.

16 days ago

I am needing a floor plan for a 17’ by 10’ master bathroom. Entrance is on the 17’ wall and a window is on one 10’ wall.

Hoping to include a makeup vanity area, one sink, towel storage, small soaking tub and large double shower.

Help, help, help!

    17'x10' is a very large bathroom. Do it right--get professional design help.

    You need to draw out the floor plan. It need not be anything fancy. Draw it out and mark the measurements and mark the doorways and windows and include the measuremetns on those too including where they dit on the wall example the window is on the 10' wall ....how many inches/feet are on the left of it? On the right of it? Same goes for the doorway. Is it an exiisting bathroom? If so are you willing to move plumbling including the toilet? You are going to get a ton of help if you take the time to provide this one simple thing.

    I will draw it out. The openings are all flexible. The 17’ wall opens to the bedroom. Can be in middle or towards a then the 10’ wall is new and I can out the window wherever. I’ll
    Try the joeg

    This is what I’ve come up with so far. Shower/tub area is a wet room. It will have a glass enclosure. Toilet room is fairly large, but we do want that private space. Let me know what you think! 🤍

    the sink area seems undersized for such a large space - for a bath that size i’d expect his/her sinks and vanities


    are there windows that need to be taken into account?

    Just one four foot wide window between the tub and shower. The other three walls are interior

    I would shrink the door from the bedroom to a standard 32" door and lengthen the vanity on that end. That's where I would put the sink. Then shrink the toilet room to 48", which is more than sufficient ,and move the makeup vanity to that area. I'm sure you'll get more ideas that are better than mine!

    Perhaps the toilet room is that size to meet current or future ADA requirements. When my sister built a home, they did this. If not needed now, but in the future, other fixtures such as sink can be changed. Much harder to change the size of a toliet room.

    ADA-compliant stalls must provide enough space for easy entry, exit, and maneuvering.

    Door width: At least 32 inches (80 cm) clear when open at 90 degrees

    Stall size: A minimum of 60 inches (1.5 m) deep and 60 inches (1.5 m) wide

    Yes, this is a forever home and we are thinking potential knee surgeries and future aging accessibility. We have had soul sinks before and always used the same one

    So that is why we didn’t prioritize two sink vanities. We will continue the same counter top to that corner and vanity to allow for more countertop.

    Our main priority is accessible/private toilet room. And a large dual shower. We will be able to roll a wheel chair in there and there will be a glass door to keep the steam in there for warmth. Along with heated floors.

    17x10 is a bedroom plus bathroom. Not a bathroom.

    What are you thinking for storage needs? often more vanity/sink space offers more storage

  • 9 days ago

    Your toilet area needs a 60” turning diameter for it to accommodate a wheelchair.

    I have a china hutch that will be in the 4’ area by the tub. I also have a linen tower that sits on top of the counter to the right of my makeup vanity.

    ADA for an enclosed toilet?!! LOSE the enclosure and you are golden. Why create problems??? I will never understand why anyone would attempt hair and makeup in a moist environment. "Soul" sinks is an curious term. With the sq footage you are putting into this room you can't really mess it up. Still a professional consult would be best practice.

    I am not a pro but seems like 90% of the activity will take place in this tight end of the bath - the chair also needs clearance in this small area… hard to imagine there’s not a much better layout for you given all the space available to you


    i know double sinks aren’t always favored on here - that makes sense to me when there are space constraints - but this has so much space -

    i keep thinking about brushing my teeth at the sink, DH needs to wash his hands…and we are both crammed into an area about a yardstick wide

    I would think that a toilet enclosure of that size would need the toilet moved over to one side. With the toilet centered, it leaves it far from either wall. Grab bars would be almost out of reach. Closer to a wall also would leave more room for a wheelchair or helper.

    As some one who has had a few lower limb issues, Being able to reach a counter/grab bar for assistance is a huge help.

    In fact, I think that's required by ADA.


    Grab bars: At least one grab bar must be installed beside the toilet. It should be 33 to 36 inches (84 to 91 cm) above the floor and extend at least 54 inches (137 cm) along the side wall.

    A large master bathroom should have a shower that is at least 4 ft wide. The 3 ft width is tight for a large/tall person if you have glass walls/doors.

    The 6 ft length is fine.

    Maybe this plan will work for you. The circles are the radius needed for wheelchair if needed in future. The shower is 5’width. The toilet closet is 6’2” and the vanity is 5’2”. The small counter and bench to the left of the entry door is a makeup area.

    I should have made the door into toilet area a 3’ door too. Plus consider a therapeutic tub with a door. They’re ugly but if considering ease of use later on it might be worth it. Easy in and out if you get one with a power drain.
