We were so grateful for drywall since our last home had plaster walls and was not as easy to remove! Demolition was pretty easy and these three spaces were torn out in just 24 hours. Once we finalized the floor plan, we wanted to get to work right away. The original master bedroom closet became a small guest bathroom. Essentially we combined both bathrooms to become the master bathroom and closet. The floor plan below is very close to the plan we went with (and includes everything on my wish list), but we flipped the guest bathroom layout so the door is on the other side of the room.
#Master bathroom layout full
This project would take our two full bathrooms out of commission so our first major project was adding a full bathroom to our basement. Since the bathrooms and closet were butted up to each other, we wanted to completely reconfigure the space to make each room more functional. Our poor son had to take lukewarm baths for the first few months of living in our home. The guest bathroom had so much wasted space and there was something wrong with the hot water in the bathtub. The master bathroom had a single sink and a small shower with a very low showerhead. The closet in our third home was large enough to hold most of my clothes, but Chris had to use the closet in the nursery. I am so mad at myself for not taking before photos of the bathrooms before demolition! To give you a better idea of the layout, I did a quick drawing to show the two bathrooms (not drawn to actual square footage): To illustrate the point, see how two designers, an architect, and an ardent DIYer made the most of a master bath in-a bit more or less than-a 100-square-foot space.I am so excited to take you through my favorite project of our third house, the master bathroom renovation! Our previous house had an amazing master closet and master bathroom, so when we moved into our new house, the outdated and small master bathroom and closet were NOT ideal. Of course, not everyone wants the classic four-piece configuration, even when there’s room, opting instead to ditch a seldom-used tub in favor of a bigger shower, extra storage, a toilet enclosure, or even a laundry closet. “Whatever the shape, clever design can mitigate layout restrictions.” Consider, too, that this size space can also enable higher-end finishes that could break the bank in a larger bath. “A narrow space can be quite efficient, since most fixtures go along a wall, while a square lends more flexibility,” Maggio says. Not all square footage is considered equal, since design decisions are also dependent on room shape and window and door locations. Is going bigger that much better? It depends. That means allowing for a 3-foot-square shower, 30 inches of clearance alongside a tub and in front of a commode, and a 60-inch-long vanity. It allows for the classic four pieces-a double-sink vanity, a tub, a separate shower, and a toilet-while meeting the minimum standards for comfort and usability. “A hundred square feet can be a nice sweet spot,” says San Diego designer Corine Maggio.
