How can I make my ensuite bigger? Moving W/I robe?
Comments (24)Having lived for years with a front loader in the kitchen under counter and now with a good sized laundry I am resenting the laundry for the space it wastes! I would rather have a "european solution" and a good en-suit and walk in :) really it is a matter of how you want to live, in reality if you spend your life considering resale you won't enjoy your home, prospective purchasers will love or hate whatever you do, those that don't want a space solution will be the ones who want the big ensuite and robe anyway! Do it with love then others will love it too, good luck...See MoreHow small can my ensuite be and still work?
Comments (2)I consider our ensuite to be modest in size and it is 1200x3500ish. We have a 1200x900 shower at one end and the space you are suggesting is equivalent to this with the door open (our drying off/towel rail space). Our vanity and toilet are fairly compact so we do have space between them which could be condensed slightly and still work. However, you need to account for elbow space not just the width of the vanity or toilet. I don't think you would fit either vanity or toilet next to shower on the shorter wall. Maybe with a corner/triangle shaped shower? There was a compact bathroom post a while back that had this suggested. I can't recall the exact dimensions though....See MoreHow can a house look bigger after frame stage?
Comments (31)Hi Lah, firstly we are in an inner Sydney area, so your house is positively enormous by our standards!. My kitchen/dining is 4.6 x 6. This will be my main entertaining space. We have a separate loungeroom upstairs that will be just for us. It's 4 x 4 roughly. The plaster is light grey, whereas the framing was dark and made it look like a cave. If you really don't need the 4th bedroom, I'd be leaving the cavity slider and making it a media room perhaps?. My boys are on the edge of their teen years, I know they won't want to be anywhere near us soon....I think open plan works well when your kids are young, but as they age they really want to be away!! I think opening that whole area up would make for a giant open-plan but odd shape. Keeping it gives the option for future buyers or you to determine what you do with it....See Morehow can I make my kitchen lighting brighter?
Comments (2)Wait till you get the cabinets and benchtop in and reassess once you see how they bounce lights. You can always add more downlights. The pendants could be hung lower but won’t spread as much light then....See MoreMB Design & Drafting
