Compact bedroom built-in robe layout
We are planning to change the windows of bedroom 2 and 3 to double glazed ones and add insulation to walls so we have the opportunity to reorganise the layout of built-in robes and perhaps add built-in bookcase/desks to these rooms. Bedroom 3 is particularly compact and has direct sight from the living room, so I feel it is important to get it just right and can't decide how to do it!
The current robe is a random combination of small compartments which suits toy storage but not clothing so much. There is also empty wall cavity space that could be utilised - the small cupboard shown next to the WIR for master bedroom could be removed and the space given to bedroom 2. Bedroom 4 is currently used as a study but feedback on where to position BIR for future bedroom use welcome. Thanks!

Comments (7)hello , I look at your layout, in fact, everything is quite pragmatic and functional, there is an awkward angle but it is not bad if you want you can consider the idea of reducing bath, create a symmetrical angle the fact is that for double doors a distance is desirable but in general, everything is good.

Comments (7)my suggestions also enlarges the bathroom to include bigger shower and a handbasin in the toilet, loses WIL in favour of built in storage and uses the saved space for a study nook to allow more space in the activity room and adds a cavity sliding door to create some occasional privacy for kids' area ...and the best way to decide windows and biw location is to first plan windows to suit the outlook (looking out to a view, hot afternoon sun, warm winter light etc?)and then consider furniture placement but the windows should be high enough off the floor to allow for placement of desk and/or bed (ie bottom of the window about 80cm off the floor) ..these few ideas showing a standard double or single bed but each bedroom has the 2m wide biw and entry doors on the same wall...See MoreWhat do I need to consider for built-in robes around a fireplace?
Comments (38)You could consider custom joinery that actually looks freestanding - purposefully creating a gap from the edge of the fireplace surround to the wardrobe & on the wall side also. This would also mean that it really does not matter if the front of the cupboards do not align with the front of the fireplace. Adding a nicely detailed leg, and a feature handle (you can get some really unique Australian made ones these days) to give some visual interest to the otherwise minimal finishes. Keep it simple & classic so it ages with your child's taste and preferences. As an example, The Design Files recent article has an image of a cupboard in a lounge area, that could be adapted to two double door units on either side of the fireplace https://thedesignfiles.net/2019/10/interiors-house-p-cjh-studio/. Seems perfect for a child of any age, or even if you want to convert the room to a more 'grown up purpose' once they leave home ;-)...See MoreBedroom layout feng shui disaster
Comments (16)Hi @siriuskey, thank you for your suggestions and I'm so sorry for the slow response! I've been juggling family issues and haven't had time to sit down at my desk. I've attached the actual measurements of the room below. The bed is currently a king single (approx 120cm W x 220cm D). I'd like the option to replace with a double in future (approx 144cm W x 190cm D). I agree with your suggestion about moving the Master door further down the hall. If for no other reason than to give it a little more space away from the kids' rooms. We may have to reconfigure the WIR though, as the existing passageway from the bedroom through the WIR to the ensuite leaves no perpendicular wall for the new door location to open onto. As for the hallway, I had considered not a door but an archway in the middle of the hallway to break it up. I've attached an example. What do you think? @C P We have placed the kids' beds along the wall previously, but they're really difficult to change sheets in that position so I'm trying to bring them off the wall. @User the home office does have a separate door off the entry porch. I just cut that bit off the bottom of the plan. I've attached image below showing the full plan of the front of the house. We designed it this way so we can close the office off from the rest of the house. Potential employees can then have access to the office with a WC and a kitchenette when we are away. The kitchenette has been plumbed with drainage so in future it can be converted into an ensuite, potentially for one of the kids when they get older. For the meantime we do need it as an office....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
Here is the rest of the floorplan oklouise. The built-in in Bed 2 is 600mm and in Bed 3 is 550mm, and this space is in addition to the measurements on the plan. Walls could be moved about, but we need to be able to live-in during renovations. Also the slightly wider section of hallway adjacent to Bed 3 acts as the main entrance so it really needs to remain at its current width to be practical. The 'study' is more of a study-nook in an extension of the hallway leading to a detached garage and workshop, so that is why there is a external door. Thanks for any ideas you can offer.
