Combining bathroom and bedroom in one space is a true challenge. This room is exemplary not only for its arrangement but also for its choices around sanitation and furnishings. Let’s explore...

CRITERIA TO CONSIDER

• The room must be sufficiently spacious and have access to water, either through the floor or the ceiling.
• The ventilation system must be powerful enough. If it is not you will have to consider modifying it or installing a new one.
• The architectural structure must accommodate a bathtub or it must be pierced in order to install a drainage outlet, plumbing, etc.
• The couple must have a high tolerance to noise, odors and light.
• Occupants must like large open spaces.

THE MASTER SUITE

• It offers intimacy for the couple.
• Gives the impression of lodging in a luxury hotel.
• Allows easy access to the bathroom at night.
• Eliminates the sensation of being in a confined space.

Think of adding a full length panel behind the headboard to avoid bursts of light during the night. You can also separate the two zones using a closet or give access to the bathroom from one side only. Remember to install the nightlights and dimmers.
