Tudors sometimes have a 1/2 bath added (that front hall closet!) on the first floor because the main bathroom opens into the kitchen. Georgians typically have all sorts of odd 1/2 bathroom placements on the first floor - because they were built with only one bathroom and it's upstairs with the bedrooms (and perhaps a bathroom was added downstairs in the basement at a later date). (I live in the land of older homes - 1/2 baths are added in all sorts of places - under the stairs to the second floor.or repurpose the coat closet at the front of the house, or convert a back porch into a room and use part of it for a bathroom. If the new bathroom opens on a hall way - then the other bedrooms can use it. OK, what that really means - is will someone have to walk into or thru the bedroom to get to the new bathroom? That kind of makes the bathroom dedicated to that bedroom.

Will you have a bedroom without closet space if you convert the closet to a bath? Is the bedroom big enough to have some sort of free standing closet space added? (something from Ikea or an old fashion wardrobe) I'm guessing most people would rather have a bedroom with a closet rather than a bedroom with no closet and a bathroom.ĭoes the position of the bedroom (which may no long have a closet) in the house - lend itself to being an "office" or perhaps a "craft room" or "guest room"? none of those uses require a closet (although they do require storage areas) and the addition of a bath can be helpful - especially if other bedrooms can make use of the bath (when the bedroom isn't being used for something else). I'd spend the time, effort and money to make sure that the walls and floor and drain for the shower are more than sufficient to handle the water/moisture and the weight of someone using it without it springing a leak. With such a small space that probably has no window - I'd spend time, effort, and money to make sure the room has enough ventilation to remove the steam from the shower.

Please resist the urge to do a Barn Door.

If you have the wall space - perhaps a pocket door would work if the main bedroom can't take a regular door. I'm guessing it's all going to depend on where the door is (or where you can move it) for your bathroom remodel. My "tub" space is 4 feet 10 inches from front of the tub (with the faucet) to the rear of the tub). I don't see why you can t do a "custom" 4 foot wide walk in shower stall. imagine the edge of the tub being a wall (if you are trying to picture your space). The vanity backs on the same wall as the toilet. The toilet backs to that wall and there is 18 inches from the edge of the oval toilet seat to the tub. I measured my 1947 bathroom - and there's exactly 4 feet from the outer edge of the tub to the wall.
