With our next option, we wondered if maybe the problem was the vanity placement. Having the doorway closed off in the photo below would make our whole room feel cramped. So despite or initial excitement, this one wasn’t the answer, either. Close it off and it would feel really intrusive. We would also be creating a large, protruding wall that would visually invade the master bedroom – it doesn’t feel that way now, because that’s where the doorway to the bathroom is. There are a few more inches we could borrow on the left to move the door over, but then we eat into the closet and don’t have room for the things we want to do in there. Off-centered doors aren’t a new thing and we all have them, but this would feel really scrunched to the right side because of how it sits back in the little alcove. The first issue is the placement of the door. BUT, the problems with this one are more on the bedroom side. It seemed to make so much sense and used the space up a lot more efficiently, while allowing a more open entrance and main floor area. When we drew the above layout, which would place the bathroom opening in the nook where our TV sits in the older photo from above, we were actually super excited about it. ![]() That was a bit of a tangent, but we had a lot of people ask us about it on Instagram so, there ya go. It’s a pretty basic CAD drafting program – it’s not amazing, but pretty good, and allows us to make changes faster and more accurately. I had been using Illustrator and it was obnoxious, so I downloaded FloorDesign from the Apple App Store (not sponsored). NOTE: You can see I also swapped my layout software. While it didn’t make sense to remove the double doors to our room, we did some measuring and found a spot where we could fit a new bathroom door without it being interfered with by the bedroom entrance. There were a lot of suggestions to alter the doors into our bedroom, and move the bathroom entrance to the wall where our TV has been (where the linen closet is in the layout above). But having a more open entrance does wonders for making a space feel bigger, so we needed to figure something else out. We felt that originally, but convinced ourselves we were willing to deal with that in exchange for the larger shower. ![]() Which is a great thing, because what we were thinking just wasn’t there yet. We’ve gone around and around so many times, finally landed on something we felt good about, posted about it, then had over 100 comments that made us completely rethink and revisit. ![]() The master bathroom has been tricky, to say the least.
