Master Bathroom Remodel Opinions?

Stacy Davis
by Stacy Davis
We are remodeling our master bathroom and I have three layout options that I am considering. I would love to know what you think is the best layout. My contractor comes on Monday to finalize the layout. My drawings are very loose interpretations of the room. Even though in my drawing the door looks like it hits the tub either in actuality it wouldn’t or I would use a pocket door so don’t let that influemcee your decision. Thanks! First, remodel we have ever done and the decisions to be made are numerous.
On the left is the current layout. We are removing the wall of the hall closet and using that space to make the bathroom larger. In the first option the toilet stays just about in the same location, just oriented differently. In this one, I think the toilet plumbing would not need to be relocated, so possibly a cost savings.
Option 2 and 3 the toilet is moved to a new location.
This will be the tub.

    I like Option 1. BUT with the tub and basins in their original locations. Why crowd the new space or line everything up like soldiers?

      I think if the tub is in the original place, you walk through the door into the tub. It really probably is hard to use the layout designer for opinions since it isn’t exact. Thanks for your opinion!

    Actually I like the current layout. Love the idea of having a separate shower that you would lose. And the counter space! I also don't like the idea of the toilet enclosed. That seems old fashioned today. Great looking tub!

    I like where your sinks are currently. Personally, I would shift them over to the left a little bit and use that whole closet space as my new shower. Leave the tub where it is and maybe put a linen closet or the toilet where your current shower is. If the toilet is in the bottom right corner next to your tub, that other wall could have the linen closet and even an area to sit and do makeup. Otherwise, leave the toilet in it's current location and have a linen closet in the bottom right. Good luck to you!

      I was just thinking how great the Hometalk community is because I don’t know anyone around me that raises chicks so now I know someone to ask questions. Bless you!
