Advice on Master Bedroom Built In Closets
Hi there,
Sooo..I have a Feng Shui issue with my bed position! (Please refrain from laughing ;-)! )
If I adhere to the advice, Room 1 is supposed to have the bed head towards the west - where the stairs are.
My partner does not like the wall gap to sleep in as he doesn’t like to be boxed in.
Can anyone advise how to manage the space better? I was thinking to put closets in the west wall gap and then a wall to put the bedhead against... but it interferes with the window position.
Also i might be getting two King Single Beds as my partner and I have opposite needs in a mattress so dimension of bed width will be more like 212cm width (as opposed to 183 cm for a King).
Any ideas? I am not sure how to make this space work. Move the door? Nix the walk in? It looks awkward to me as is!

5 years agois this a plan or an existing home? given the choice i would swop bedrooms and change the wiw to a biw for more comfortable space for both bedrooms and there's too many windows which can also create problems with overheating as well as furniture arrangement..something like this could work but which direction is north? and, if this is a new plan perhaps you could post the whole house plan to review any other issues....

Which layout for the master bedroom would your prefer?
Comments (8)I can't see the images but separate bathrooms would be my preference. A simply larger ensuite is fine but you still have to fill the room with stuff. When my wife and I first lived together it was a two bedroom, 2.5 bath. The closets were small so I just took the 2nd bedroom and also made the ajoining bathroom, mine. It was the best. No staggering of waking up to take turns, and we all poop! But at least it's not in each others face. Over the years, function over style will win hands down. I don't know the size of your closet(s) but expanding that (even a his and hers) would also go along way. The alfresco could be nice but only if you have great weather year-round. If you have a porch / deck / etc, then there's no need. You still need to go to the kitchen to get your coffee / wine / drink. It's not practical....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 MoreLaundry vs Master Bedroom
Comments (15)@siriuskey - thanks for the images, can see it definitely works nicely with some of those, esp that first one! unfortunately being an original californian bungalow, the front windows aren't very big so im hesitant to cover them; they are similar in width but not quite as tall as the windows in that middle picture. our bedhead, when i am standing comes up to about chin level (im 165cm) - i don't think the picture i posted does it justice as you can't see the bed legs haha...so i think it would end up looking like the middle picture :( @girlguides - i like your suggestion for shuffling around the ensuite layout - it does make sense to have the door infront of the vanity. we will try to get a bit of extra length on the ensuite (all based on council town planning restrictions due to proximity to our neighbours) and that should allow for the entrance to sit comfortably in the corner of that wall with some nice space around the vanity...will still be tight to fit the bed, side tables and door tho!!! side tables are 65cm each, and bed is approx 190cm... and width of the room is 4m on each side....so will potentially be a skinny 750cm sliding door to the ensuite...which of course is better than a skinny entrance door to the bedroom tho!!...See MoreAdvice for master bedroom plan
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.

5 years agoI think the WIR would take up too much space which could be better used in the bedroom, A lovely long robe would be better, I was going to suggest some shaker style doors with a couple of doors having mirror panels, but I think that isn't for your Zen space? I'd like to see two tall windows with one being opposite the entry into the Master so that you have a view to outside when entering and also allow light back into the passage.

The base will be recycled brick red, limed white and blues. The second storey will be a pale grey (Haymes Pale Mushroom 6 -50%) with roof of Woodland Grey.
