5 L-Shaped Bathroom Floor Plans That Blend Function & Style

Using a L-shaped design in your bathroom is a smart way to optimize the available space and offer an efficient layout. This setup naturally creates separate zones for the vanity, shower, toilet or tub, while creating a spacious and open feel. This streamlined approach offers more room for storage and luxury features such as walk-in showers, freestanding tubs and private water closets. Below I’ve shared five L-shaped bathroom floor plan ideas that cover a variety of different room sizes so you can benefit from this efficient space-saving design.

This L-shaped bathroom floor plan flows around the freestanding tub to create a central space and an impressive focal point.

Layout Details: This couples bathroom design places a dual sink vanity along the top right wall, next to a water closet for privacy. On the left wall below the toilet area is a spacious walk-in shower enclosure. This L-shaped orientation flows around two walls and leaves the middle of the space open with a freestanding tub positioned in the bottom right corner. This master bath setup allows the tub to become the focal point and its placement allows for ample clearance on two sides for ease of movement and to create a spa-like atmosphere.

Important Dimensions:

• Room Dimensions: 14 x 10 ft.

• A 3-5 ft freestanding bathtub is placed in the corner for a luxurious spa-like feel.

Design Tips:

• Install storage cabinets or linen shelves (12”-18” deep) along the walls where possible for essentials.
• Add a large frameless mirror over the vanity to visually increase the feel of the space and reflect the tub.
• Use dimmable recessed light fixtures to heighten the relaxing vibe.
• Replace the freestanding tub with a drop-in model if you want more ledge space to place candles, decor or other accessories.
• Consider adding shower niches to the enclosure for bath items.
• Add a bench to the walk-in enclosure for extra comfort.
