![]() ![]() I love them both! At first I was thinking option A was the clear choice, as I find the symmetry simply beautiful. Whatever you decide, I’m sure it will be the right fit for you guy.! I’m just excited to watch the process! :) Something to consider is the morning light and whether having a window across from the vanities, instead of beside, would cause lighting issues (glares, back light, etc.) when using the vanity mirrors ? However, if it was a hidden door, like a paneled wall, it’d be a lot prettier and less of an interruption! I also like having the vanities side by side, but that’s just a personal preference. ![]() As I’ve never been in your space it might be just fine, but from the drawings it’s feels like an annoyance to me. What does seem a little odd is having the door right next to, and swinging towards, the tub. I also like the addition of the window in the W/C. With Option B, I, like many others, love having the W/C tucked in a corner far away from the bathroom entrance. To me it seems like the shower/tub space would be less broken up and less interrupted. You could also add a window on that new tub wall. So when you walk through the arch the tub would be on the left and the shower on the right. With your Option A, I’d consider swapping the shower heads and plumbing to the inside wall and pivoting the tub 90 degrees and placing it on the outside wall. I do like a wet bath as long as it’s plenty spacious and the tub has it’s own space. With either option, I’d consider a few tweaks or different options that you didn’t mention in this post. I truly like both options, but there are certain things I like about Option B the best. We’re leaning one way but would love to hear any arguments or experience or opinions either way! We feel like we’re really really close to nailing down a plan and once that happens, I can start mood boarding!! Which do you prefer? So those are the two we’re deciding between. This option maximizes the natural light in every area. ![]() The shower area still gets a prominent place in this option with an open arched doorway framing the existing window and the shower heads and body sprays tucked in the side allowing us to skip the glass door enclosure. And let’s be honest, a chandelier over the tub, too. A large window and tub moment across from it. A linen closet on the left of the doorway for storage and two identical 60″ his and her vanities along one wall. Option B moves the water closet to the back wall which frees up the walkway when you first walk in and allows us to add a window to the small space (always a bonus for a water closet). Here are a few inspiration photos for this option: This option opens up the feeling of the bathroom and gets away from the galley feel it currently has. We envision my vanity being the larger one with some upright tall cabinets and Chris’s would be smaller with larger windows flanking either side to bring in more natural light. His and her vanities would sit across from each other. ![]() The water closet would stay where it currently is with linen storage on the opposite wall. I envision a big arched opening framing the area as a sort of focal point to the bathroom. Option A keeps the tub and shower in the same area (very european) to make a wet room. It’s double long as it is narrow (about 21′ long by 11′ wide).Īnd here are the two options we’re deciding between: Option A: No talking, just a fly through video so you can get a sense of the space. (eek).īefore we share the final two different options we’re considering, we shot a quick video of what our bathroom looks like now. We’ve narrowed it down to two worthy contenders to share with you. Needless to say, this extra time has been invaluable and we truly believe we’re going to end up with a layout that is best for us. Sometimes we would say, “that’s it!” and then a couple nights later revisit, rework and think– well maybe let’s try this. We spent many nights just sketching away at different ideas. After all, in our last bathroom, we did away with the tub completely in favor of a big shower. We originally shared a layout idea that we worked with a Kohler bathroom designer on here (this is a free service in the design shop in Wisconsin!) and we really liked it at the time, but the more we thought about it, the more we felt like we wanted our shower in a more prominent location. Idaho is entering phase 2 of re-opening this Saturday and we’re hoping by June we’ll be ready to start on our bathroom renovation! In the meantime, we’ve been taking the opportunity to tackle our closet, which we definitely want to finish before we start the bathroom since our old closet will be PART of the bathroom but also, we revisited our bathroom plans. We were originally going to start our master bathroom renovation April 1st, but that was postponed due to Covid-19. ![]()
