Do you have a large master bathroom?

[DawnM]

We have a rather large house, at least by my standards, but it isn't new. It was built in the late 80's and doesn't have the high ceilings, the more open floor plan, or a large master bath.

It didn't bother me when we moved in, heck, we moved from a very HCOL area where we didn't even have a bathroom in our bedroom, there was one down the hall.

Now I wish I had a large master bathroom. The kind where one person can use the toilet area or the sink area, while the other takes a shower.

It isn't worth dreaming about since we are actually moving BACK to that HCOL area, but I wish we had it anyway.

Yes. We have a large master with a separate thrown room, the room is connected to a large walk in closet which is connected to our laundry room.

What is HCOL?

High Cost Of Living (area).

We have a small master bath. Just toilet, sink, and large shower. 6X8 or so, I'd guess? I wouldn't want a huge restroom, but a double sink, a closet for linens and products, and just a bit more floor space to move around each other would be nice. The only storage I have is two shelves in the toilet nook, and the under-sink cabinet. We do have a large walk in closet in the master. If I had to pick between the two, I'd choose the larger closet every time.

My dream is to make one of our tiny bedrooms into a master bath and closet. My house is small and oddly designed (like no design at all, think The Weasley's Burrow in Harry Potter.) There's a 7X21 bedroom at one end upstairs, but it has low eaves so not much space is useful in there. Then there's a 9X9 bedroom that would make a great bathroom. Our room is L shaped, and barely fits a queen sized bed. The closet is also under an eave, and pretty useless.

I want to add an addition to the house - basement level gym/hot tub space, first floor brand new kitchen (as my kitchen is on the shade side of the house, and is the main entrance) and second floor new master suite with dual closets and master bath with a tub. We do not have a full size tub in our house, only a little square one in the bath off the kitchen. Only have a shower in the upstairs bathroom. It worked great when the kids were little. They could bathe while I did stuff in the kitchen - they were in sight the whole time. But an adult does not fit into that tub at all! Right now it is full of paper towels, cleaning supplies, and the overflow of things we get from warehouse stores. It's turned into a closet

By the definition in the original post yeah we do have a large master bathroom. It's two sinks with wood storage (open on top and drawers on the bottom) between the sinks; we upgraded from cultured marble and put in granite for the countertops. We have a toilet with a door next to the jetted tub. The shower (which is on the other side of the jetted tub) is a good size (two people can be in it at the same time) and has two showerheads. The rest of the space is taken up by just the floor. To get to our master closet you go through our master bathroom. Sorta related but our laundry room is upstairs and is connected to our master bathroom with access to the hallway so the other bedrooms have access to it too.

We have a large master bathroom and I love it. It has a separate toilet room, two large separate vanities with sinks, a large jetted garden tub, a huge shower, and a closet for towels, etc.

Mine is soooo cramped and tiny.

DH's bathroom is so much larger and more luxurious.

Actually, I have a much more modest bath, but it's a good size. Separate soaking tub and walk-in shower, double sink vanity, small closet. The toilet isn't in its own little room.

We have a large MB, but it's poorly laid out and a big waste of space. Tiny shower, jetted tub, 2 sinks - but no storage other than under the cabinet, and no place to put storage because of 6-foot window on the only large wall. I've wanted to redo the bathroom - turn the shower into a linen closet, make the tub a luxury shower, redo the sinks. But it would cost more than it's worth, considering we'll be out of here in 2-3 years.

Mine is very small. I live in a house built in the 60s when that wasn't a thing.

 

[wenrob]

Mine is ridiculously large. The Great Dust Collector. Such a waste of space. Because of the way DH's shifts work it's very rare that we need to be in there at the same time and I am just not one to hang out in the bathroom. Someday we'll pull the waste that is the giant tub, put in a double shower and make the double sinks a vanity rather than taking up the entire wall. The rest will become a nice walk in closet. Giant master baths are not all they're cracked up to be IMO.

Our master bath is 9 x 5. When we remodeled all the contractors bidding on it referred to it as a "standard" sized bathroom.
Plenty of room for two, even though it has just one sink.
Kids bathroom backs up to it, it is also 9 x 5.
Guest bathroom is in the section we added onto to the house, it is 5 x 5, but it is just a half bath, no shower or tub.

I grew up (as an only child) with a much bigger bathroom, about 6 by 15. It had 2 sinks. When I sold the house, I discovered the valves on the right sink were frozen in the off position. In the 53 years my parents owned the house, and the 22 years I lived in it, I was the only one who used that bathroom, and I never used the right sink.

No master bath, but I wish we had one.

I wish- my house has ONE bathroom----6 bedrooms and ONE bathroom- crazy

My kind of bathroom, I hate certain things so close together....

Ours is like this too. The master closet is connected to the bathroom and it's pretty big. Extra storage is needed since we don't have basements here.

We redid a few things, like replacing the shower, tile, and bathtub area, but we didn't enlarge as that wasn't worth the cost. We are moving in about a year, so yeah, not worth it.

I agree. Mine isn't super large, but if I could only tell you how many times I've looked at that big tub and wished that space could be used for something elsewhere in the house. More space in my living room, a place to put the treadmill, a pantry, etc. For the last 18 years it has pretty much just held my clothes drying rack!
