Large Laundry or Large Guest Bathroom
Comments (13)just as well you challenged the sizes of the rooms as the spaces shown will make a very generous guest bathroom but not enough room to walk through the laundry as the floorplan doesn't seem to be drawn to scale so I've made two plans with actual sizes available for comparison... by reducing the width of the guest bathroom and increasing the laundry there'll still be enough space for a supersized shower and twin vanities but there'll be enough room in the laundry for standard storage cabinets, space to open the sliding door and also open the swinging door inwards, so as not to block access to the stairs, and just enough space to use a standard sized ironing board.. The small hallway is a bonus adding extra privacy and sound screening and solid core doors will improve this even more and then choice of fixtures and fittings will make a good choice even better...See MoreBathroom walk-in shower for minimal splash
Comments (35)the last option with shower and toilet either side of the window and hinged entry door opening towards the laundry cabinet... hinged door is cheaper and offers more privacy and solid core hinged doors will improve sound reduction and the back of a door can support extra towel rack and/or clothes hooks and the tall window needs only be same as top of door height (about 2.1m) and if necessary simple hinged doors on the laundry nook will use the least space and are only open occasionally...See MoreYour help with a bathroom and walk-in robe combo
Comments (6)a separate wiw and ens will give the best use of the space with maximum storage wall to disguise the volume of your clothes in chests of drawers under hanging space below high shelves and there's space in the ensuite for a generous double shower, vanity and wall cabinets but the bath will have to go elsewhere if you want to be able to stand and dress in the wiw or ens and keep the rooms feeling comfortable for two people to use together twin highlight windows will provide light and ventilation and hinged doors allow for clothes racks and/or hooks on the back of the doors...See MoreHelp Where to fit 2nd bathroom/ensuite
Comments (26)the narrowest walking space would be about 60cms (and there won't be a lot of traffic in the space and with 3800 (not 3400) the ens doorway can be pushed towards the front of the house, not centred and makes more standing room in front of the shower and easier access from the bedroom to the ens but also depends on the distance from the new wall to the side of the bay opening and that was probably centred when the house was built and before the wardrobe was installed so you need to carefully measure the room again... we now have three different widths for the room and the hall is shown as metres wide!!...is the master bedroom 3400 or 3800 or 4460 wide (ignoring the bay window) and what is the length of the whole room (ignoring the wardrobe) and what is the depth of the wardrobe from the outside and also measure from the outside of the architrave around the bedroom door to the front of the wardrobe ..could you gain some space by moving the bedroom door closer to the wardrobe and/or hinging the door to open towards the wardrobe to feel less cramped? ...we can make lots of suggestions but need to start with precise information about what you already have and based on new information and the size of an average king sized bed and the wider room my suggestion would be to place the bed in the centre of the room, lined up with the centre of the bay window and then measure how much space is available on either side for the ens and for wardrobe and bedroom door and you'll probably find that even if the bedroom door is moved there would probably be about 60-70cms between the bed and the new wall and minimal space between the bed and the door on the other side so try losing big bedside tables and use hanging lamps and mismatched side table or shelves ( a cut down stool makes a tiny side table) and keep in mind that, unless you remove the whole chimney (big job but will supply a huge number of bricks if you need some paving) the thickness of the brick walls will decide how much space is available in the chimney alcove for the vanity so measure inside the chimney not outside wall spaces but, despite limitations imo the ens is well worth the effort, cost for the improved resale value and quality of family life.. but, why not move the bed and add something to create a barrier to represent the proposed ens wall and see how it feels as something like this could work but depends on accurate measurements...See MoreAclaire Smith
