The bigger, the better of course! That is, if you have the space to spare. You also have to consider if it is to be designed for one OR two users? Do you want to provide for a seating area or central island feature? Is it a pass-through closet to the master bath? These are all things to consider. Minimum for a nice walk-in would be 10'x10'. Closer to 12' x 15' or 20' would be ideal depending on the context and needs of the space & end-user.

Are tubular skylights an option? They work really well in our dark hallway in our previous house and in the bathroom and closet in current home.

Well, you can't do much about a window! Dressing table is good, as well as hooks, and/or shelves on the wll to the right of it. About all you can do for regular closet storage will be all along that (newly) straight wall to the left of the window, because everything else is constrained by the needs of the pass-through. You might be able to run a shelf along above the two doorways, for a little extra, but it could end up feeling a lot like a tunnel for the entrance to a master bedroom. I'd suggest making at least half of ht ehanging space be double-rod (half-height) for more capacity, and make sure that part of the dressing table has some drawers. That's about all there is! :)

Melissa, when I said footboard, I meant this. It has a portion of the bed that extends beyond the mattress edge. You posted a bed that had something at the foot section of the bed. By platform, I mean a bed that has a hard area and only a mattress on it. Like this. It does not extend beyond the edge of the mattress, but does not have a box spring. It is also lower to the ground. The picture you posted was a high profile bed and box spring. It was not on a typical bed frame. A standard bed frame, used with box spring and mattress looks like this. Virtually invisible and does not extend out beyond the mattress/box spring set. That being said, I'd recommend you get a headboard that is not too big for your space. Neither in height or depth (distance from the wall). I would also not get a mattress frame that extends beyond the size of the mattress. Sorry to have not been clear before.

Oh wise houzzers.... our new master has good space, but a weird layout - can you help us find a solution for a walk-in closet? Here is a rough sketch of the current floor plan + our best shot (based on our desire to have the closet near the ensuite which we can extend easily)... Thank you :)
