Please help with master/ensuite/robe layout
Comments (28)Hi again CLP. I don't call myself a "Pro" but I do have my own company purchasing, renovating and selling or renting properties as well as designing for other clients. I have an architect and builder whom I have worked with for years and we pretty much have a lot of things down pat by now. I also don't like to be a naysayer on other peoples work, but with Two's Company's ideas just be aware, and picture in your head, that you will have to keep the door to the WIR permanently closed. That, or be looking into your wardrobe all the time. Also, there is no door to close from the WIR/bedroom. Again, you'll be looking into your wardrobe all the time and if someone is in there with the lights on while another is trying to sleep????? Nope. The other way also allows for someone to walk between the ensuite and WIR without disturbing the person in bed. It may be fine for you now, but what happens if one of you takes on night shift, or one of you has a baby to get up to in the night, or one on you is sick all night and the other has to work the next day?????? You also lose valuable wall space for shelves or drawers with that design (3 walls) Swinging doors need space to open out and with the placement of the door to the ensuite, the wall behind one of them becomes unusable unless you walk in, close the door, then go into the ensuite. Cavity sliders give you clean wall space for freestanding cabinets and you can suspend rods from roof rafters for your shelves with hanging rails on them instead of fixing to wall studs. The comment about not looking at the side of the bed is valid, however if the 'suite' door is moved down as I suggested, the bed, and bedroom, will only be seen by someone standing directly in that alcove/hall area and facing the room! We all have different ways of living and seeing a design on paper can look really good...........but you need to see it in your head. Picture yourself living in and using the space. If need be, set up boxes to something approximating the design and actually walk through it. Good luck!...See MoreNeed your ideas for small master bedroom
Comments (25)I really like these [bed side tables[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/north-seminary-contemporary-chicago-phvw-vp~13970763) which are bespoke although too large for my room. Anything similar, but not as wide, in Australia..ideally Melbourne?...See MoreHelp choosing between layouts for master bathroom and walk-in!
Comments (3)without accurate dimensions my suggestion offers twin bathrooms with a central dressing area and biw accessible from the bedroom ...alternatively option 2 could have the storage swopped to the bathroom side to create a small entry hall to separate the wiw from the bathroom and, instead of a wall of glass, panels of horizontal or vertical glass and glass doors could enhance lighting and, based on my guestimated measurements, the twin bathrooms design offers much more than the required 16' of full height storage wall as well as a more comfortably sized dressing area...See MoreMaster/WIR/Ensuite dilemma?
Comments (14)siriuskey/differentways passy1. I missed your comment, This new space is the new master and not a living space, the ensuite can have highlight windows to allow for northern light and extra ventilation, it's up to you. I have used double cavity sliders between it and the bedroom to allow you to open up the two spaces, light and ventilation Window in bedroom, going by the agents drawing there are already windows next to the sliding doors, not that it matters, sliding doors can be locked leaving a small opening for ventilation with the screen drawn across, even without that there is already plenty of ventilation and light coming via the ensuite I did think to open the ensuite to the pool even though you said that there's already another bath I thought you might just like a bath in the ensuite which could have sheers and or split timber shutters to give privacy from the pool. This second flooplan shows my second option with access between the pool and ensuite without the tub. My motto is "KISS" keep it simple st----...See Moreauntthelma
