changing layout and adding a en-suite
Comments (4)it should be easy enough to use bed 2 as space for an ensuite but that means losing a bedroom...do you have any other long term plans to add extra bedrooms, new kitchen etc eg the old extension seems like a much better location for the kitchen, make a bigger dining area and maybe add a screened room across the back to take advantage of your good climate but neither idea solves the problem of the missing bedroom, could the living area be converted to extra bedrooms but how you would access the clothesline from a laundry in the garage...is there space to add an external door on either side of downstairs? maybe the cellar would be a better location for the new laundry with closer access to the stairs and an existing external (front) door and add laundry shute from the upstairs bathroom but making scaled plans is difficult as the real estate plans are inconsistent ...please confirm the dimensions of all the rooms (including bath, toilet, biws and hallways and i can make a better scaled plan to share...See MoreLaundry to Bathroom Conversion
Comments (8)I want the additional (to be main) bathroom in the laundry, though it wouldn’t bother me if the laundry was incorporated into the new bathroom. ideally would like bath and separate shower in there. as stated, the existing bathroom would then be the en-suite and I would just look to add a toilet in there. Looking to design new plans around most cost effective way to achieve this...See MoreBathroom renovation help - keep toilet separate or combine?
Comments (16)it' not the size of the toilet that matters, it's the size of the humans that need to use it ...allowing anything less than 80cm x 80cm for knee and elbow space, plus more for standing room plus extra for any swing doors and more space for a handbasins and with no other toilet on the ground floor the best option is a separate toilet and i would steal some space off the laundry to make a more comfortable powder room..and the different floor levels don't always prevent stealing some space off the laundry but what is the size of the laundry, including ceiling height at the wall closest to the back of the existing toilet and is the laundry ceiling flat or raked and how many steps are there between lowest floor and bathroom floor?...See MoreBathroom / Toilet / Laundry
Comments (11)Hi Daniel, I agree with oklouise, have what suits you. A certain amount of consistency, such as similar floor tiles throughout, gives a cohesiveness that does have general appeal. We humans like repetition according to the stylists. And it does give a base for diversity in other design elements. But I wonder, have you been in a room that is entirely tiled? Photos don’t necessarily convey the actual effect. Especially in a small room, it can be overwhelming, sometimes giving a swimming pool feel. Not that it can’t be done, just that you need to be aware. Or hey, that could be your aesthetic 😉...See Moresiriuskey
