Backup ideas for master bedroom layout
Ok, so a little argument over the weekend about the master bedroom layout, even though hubby's been looking at the drawings for as long as I have, so to say not sure it's going to work when they're just about ready to paint the walls is frankly a little too late... the room is long (5300) and narrow (3800), granted not ideal and should have been more square... hind sight is a great thing :/ but this is what we've got to work with and it's too late (or very costly) to change anything (doorway, electricals, etc) now... the king size (say 2200 long x 2000 wide) bed is to go along the narrower 3800 wall under a 2400 wide highlight window leaving approx 900 on each side, and yes the end of the bed will be slightly in front of the doorway (1200 CSD) to the ensuite, but judging by the photos below it shouldn't be that bad... do I get any backup on this?
P.S. also keen to get some ideas on how to furnish the rest of the room (some kind of second zone maybe?) thinking some sort of seating, bench, chaise, etc?... there's provision for a tv in the 'bottom-left' corner, possibly over a chest of drawers, tallboy, etc or wall hung... and the bulkhead at the 'bottom' is the opening to the WIR
Thanks ;)

Master bedroom + Ensuite - Brain storming ideas HELP
Comments (24)We intend to stay in our master upstairs for sometime and move down when we feel comfortable OR move them both into the guest bedroom which is opposite the new master. We originally had our master suite upstairs with the boys room down stairs, however we think it's safer this way when they are younger. The 1st floor will be their domain, with their own kitchenette, bathroom, study, living and deck... so they will never have to leave home 😉 I think I have drawn up 300 different options 🤦♀️ Does your huaband and his Identicial twin have an amazing bond? My Boys are identical and its incredible to watch how intuitive they are....See MoreHelp on converting 2 bedrooms into 1 master bedroom with nice ensuite
Comments (5)my suggestion has an ens and wiw and uses the old bedroom door for a linen cupboard, although the toilet could be placed at either end to be closer to the original sewerage, this arrangement allows for more privacy for the toilet, more standing room near the shower, wall space for a towel rail and room in teh wiw for a chest of drawers..the vanity is over 2m long with cabinet under the (one or twin) sinks and open shelves next to the toilet for towels .. and, while you're adding the new ens, it would be worthwhile to plan the new access to the kitchen and new laundry...See MoreNeed your thought on the master bedroom layout options
Comments (13)Is N to the top? My wish list would inc window view from bed, bigger bedroom if possible (would sacrifice some WIR space) & as Dreamer noted, WIR between bed & bath to reduce noise & light. I do like the separate rooms for WC & shower in option 2 (very lux hotel) each with window - add louvres for steam & smells :) But window/light for rest of room? Also like bath opp sink nice clean spacious look. If this was against a wall, another window over bath? (Too many windows for you?) What are the views out W & E windows? Is there street/privacy issues anywhere?...See Morehelp with master bedroom layout
Comments (33)Thanks so much for your input. Re the downstairs floorplans: we prefer to keep the study away from the family area to keep it quiet, so will probably leave it as is. However, I have been thinking more about the downstairs bathroom and your comments to move the laundry. I really think the downstairs bathroom was too small for a family bathroom so I have expanded it by stealing the laundry space, and taking space out of the pantry ( which was very generous) to make space for the laundry. This also allows a separate toilet. I don’t need outside access for the laundry as we would hang the clothes on the other (west) side of the house. Would just need good ventilation. Once again I am very grateful for your input! Old followed by new posted for comparison....See More- 10 years ago

I don't think hubby minds much which wall it's on but he thinks the end of the bed in front of the ensuite opening will create an access issue, but I believe 800-900 is enough space to walk through, isn't it?
Haha... yes I did the same thing :) though the bed here looks probably a little narrower than it should be...
And yes, the entrance to the bedroom is at the 'bottom' righthand side (sort of between the room & the WIR) - 10 years ago
