Review my bathroom floorplans (master bath, and also guest/powder)
Comments (51)I think a large family room is a good idea. I like that you are doing a larger shower instead of a shower and tub. We recently moved from the snow belt where we lived over 30 years. The newer houses had 3 car garages, but in almost every garage, there were only two cars and sometimes one. People tend to store "stuff" in the garage. (We are guilty too). In our house we built 15 years ago, we did a 2 1/2 car garage with extra space in the rear. I would choose more room in the house and do a oversized two car garage, but make the garage extra wide and deep. Some of the 3 car garages have no storage on the sides or in the back. Therefore the 3rd stall is all storage. I think you would be wise to have a mudroom/ laundry room between the garage and house. It would also be nice to try and change the living room to where the kitchen/dining area is and move the kitchen/dining area to where the LR is now....See MoreFloor Plan Help for A Bigger Bathroom!
Comments (1)Changing plumbing in a house is more than just wanting to move the bathroom. I would like to see some of the ideas you already have been shown. IMO there is no way that bathroom can have a tub so get over that.I think without a complete redo of the space you will not really reap any rewards by making the master too small in order to get a bigger bathroom I think the easiest would be to make the small bedroom 1 ft. narrower to allow the bathroom to become 5 x 12 then a tub could go across the back wall with a tub/ shower combo a nice vanity and the toilet along the the long wall. I have no idea how this house looks from the outside , is there not a way to access the exterior from the kitchen to get to the backyard I would need some more info to deal with that. I would get a Pax closet system for the master along the wall on the right or left . The smaller bedroom could then be a nice office with a sofa bed for guests or a childs room .I would not do a barn door on the bathroom since it will be used by guests and those doors are not good for sound control...See MoreHelp! Bathroom Floorplan Layout Ideas
Comments (36)Overwhelmed by all the responses here -- thank you SO much everyone! This community is incredible. Trying to get back to every single message: Mark Bischak, Architect - A mockup is a brilliant idea. I'll put down some painters tape and get a better feel for the space. I really think AR/VR would be so powerful for floorplan visualization. I did think about accessing via closet, nice to have that separation from the bedroom for when only one of us is getting ready. But the boss nixed that one. Gas chamber I am still 50/50 on. Karenseb - I just measured, and a 36" width shower is plenty large. I like the idea of a two-person shower, but just big enough to where we are comfortable but don't sacrifice the ability to get nice steam build-up. Your second message with the floorplan is very interesting. Two closets and a more usefully dimensioned bathroom would be fantastic. I will run this by my architect. Thank you!!! Susan Davis - Lots of fun to be had!! Good point about the door that pushes in, I think that is ideal as well. North Texan - Thanks for the description, I will try to re-create based on your vision and post an update. Love, love the skylight. Of course moisture and energy efficiency loss, but natural light is a must. Virgil Carter Fine Art - That is a huge concern. What is a comfortable amount of aisle space for two to be in the bathroom? I think mocking up with tape will be very helpful here. Mrs Pete - I am searching for the floorplan that makes a 'WOW!' when you walk in. Yes, I agree, single hinge opening towards the wall would be ideal. We want to do shelves and a pull-out hamper in the 18"-24" ceiling height cabinet. Without the toilet room and making any major modifications to the master suite, this is my favorite floorplan as well. Karenseb's design is very interesting to me as well. shead - Thanks for the input on the shower. I agree; it's too large and will be both a pain to clean and will not be as steamy as we'd like. Not to mention, if it spans the entire wall, we only have one side of glass. A second side of glass will make it feel more open....See MoreNew Bathroom Overall Floor Plan Ideas- Need Advice :)
Comments (24)Hi all, thanks for the inputs and perspectives, definitely appreciate Y’all taking the time to help me think through this! I’ll post a picture of the downstairs layout when I’m at home And try to get a better picture with dimensions added. But for now I’ll speak a little more to the background: This home was built in 1977- it shares a wall (the right side) with ahome that’s the mirror image of it. In fact every home in this neighborhood is the exact same layout so character isn’t much of a concern here @cpartist. This is one of the cheapest areas to live in the city and anyone Purchasing isn’t expecting custom cabinets, high end bathrooms etc. that said 2 showers seems to be a huge perk just from talking to people in the neighborhood with family’s and their issues with the home. When I labeled master bedroom and bathroom, I use that term as the owners bathroom and en-suite, please don’t think of it as what a luxury master bedroom/bathroom might be. This is a modest home and will have modest renovations. It’s just the largest bedroom of the three. There is a closet in the bottom right above the stairs and it will still be a closet in the large bedroom- no plans to change that except to maybe add built in shelving in the future. @misecretary The furniture in the third bedroom represents an office/music room because that’s what it will be used for initially. It already is pretty small so I don’t want to make it any smaller Even if the hallway includes wasted space (Plus the added expense of moving the entire wall, that’s just how it’s set up now). @zannej thanks! Lots of good input and dimensions to consider. I’ll post more info tonight, the plumbing goes directly beneath the toilet. the kitchen is in the top right corner under the third bedroom. I have run this by my realtor as well, moving forward we’re going with a 2 bathroom plan. While I realize a big con means smaller living spaces and smaller bathroom, here is our reasoning for sticking to the 2 bathroom idea: 1- Useful now, trying to coordinate the shower use with people who get ready around the same time is Not convenient (that second bedroom will also be occupied) 2- Useful in resale -I’ve spoken with my realtor who has provided input based on this neighborhood and the type of buyer it would best market to - it seems most people who have kids in the home will greatly appreciate a second bathroom, from a utilization perspective not luxury space -This is a modest neighborhood and a modest starter home, anyone looking for luxury space and finishes would likely not be moving into this neighborhood Our scope is focused on adding a second functioning bathroom and keeping most of the footprint as close to what it is because a) added cost to make big footprint changes and b) we aren’t making changes for a forever home perfect layout, just trying to improve within reason and get experience (very likely we’ll be renting or selling within 5 to 10 years). There’s a lot of wishlist items that will have to wait (bigger closets new kitchen cabinets etc)...See Morerishabh agarwal
