I'd move the wall between WIR and bedroom over to the left and pop the door into what used to be the BIR to Bedroom 1.

Then you won't lose space to study and can have the door straight in

Hi Deanne, I can see one solution for the study - do a sliding door. The only way I can see for the bedroom is to rework the ensuite, walk-in robe and laundry which mightn't be what you want...but it's a thought.

Laundries hidden away in cupboards take up so much less space so if you swing the laundry fixtures to face the other way than on your plans, you could move it up to be accessed from the dining area (remembering that you'd rarely be doing laundry during a dinner party anyway and it'd look like built in floor to ceiling cabinetry). This means you could "pinch" about 1m from there, move the WIR and ensuite up to give you a doorway - you'd miss about 10-20cm of robe space. If you swing the orientation of the shower 90 degrees you'll be able to make up for the loss.

We have a laundry cupboard in our kitchen - its 150cm x 75cm has a front loader washer on the floor, a dryer hung above (which gives additional storage for laundry detergent, stain remover and the iron) and a sink beside it with more storage underneath and a clothes rail that sits over the sink for drip dry items). The ironing board neatly sits in front of the sink (the sink I hardly ever use - except when we have parties and then it's filled with ice and the ironing board then tucks behind a bedroom door). Looking at the existing length of the laundry (about 3.8m) you'd have heaps of room for under bench hampers, storage and a broom cupboard if that's how you go.

Good luck.

Move the wall between the bedroom and study until there is sufficient room to have the doors adjacent to each other and do away with the angled doorways which are a waste of space, and often found in minimal size project homes where space is at a premium. Looking at the plan, the study door might be opposite the stairs, or a little closer to the front door. In fact, if the study is likely to be used as a home office, and clients may come, it is better that the door to the study is closer to the front door, so clients don't have access to more of the house than necessary. At the moment both rooms are about the same size, a bit small for a bedroom and over generous for a study.

Hi Deanne, I live in an apartment and am renovating on a slim budget. I have the same problem with my office being on an angle. What I would suggest is, don't move any walls or doorways etc., that will cost too much, just change the doors from opening doors to bi-fold type doors. they can be custom made exactly how you like or you can buy pre-made from Bunnings etc. and look really modern in your home. That's what I have done in my place. Good luck.. Michele

Yes my first option would be bi-fold or sliding for Study. Honestly, you'll find most times the door to the study will always be open anyway. It will work!
