Master bath and walk-in robe ideas needed
Comments (21)ok, here's the new floor plan, I've taken your advice and did some adjustments. with the bathroom I'm very happy now, thanks oklouise, I've just done a few changes to better suit the way we live. moving the guest bath over gave me more room for the pantry, although on paper the entrance/pantry area looks a bit awkward now so I'm hoping for some more of your great ideas (ps siriuskey, I know the pantry corner in the kitchen is a bit of a space waster, I just fell in love with a picture or two, so if I just search enough I should be able to get my head - or rather heart - around a more practical solution ). I'm not sure about moving the kitchen door to the left as it's the main access also for the living and dining room and would direct traffic through the work zone. and oklouise, you asked for an overall vision of our house, so here it is: we live in a beautiful valley with no close neighbors and most of our lives happen outdoors. it will be only my husband and me living there with occasional overnight guest. while we build we'll be living in a granny flat so one spare bedroom will be enough. the living, dining and master bed windows will face north towards the view and the sun. as we spend so much time outside we want our house to be a cosy home with the occasional big entertaining happening outside. our plan is to build a strawbale house with open post and beam, I love the combination of warm grey and timber. just not too rustic and heavy, think scandinavian lightness (I'm from the north of Germany and spend most holidays in Scandinavia) and add some cheerful south American accents (where my husband comes from) we like to cook together, that's why we need a good sized kitchen. and it's my dream to come inside after work into a beautiful bathroom, where I can enjoy getting fresh and clean instead of trying to get out of there as quickly as possible ok, that was a lot, hope I haven't lost you half way through but I'm really grateful for your input and support...See MoreEnter bedroom through walk in robe?
Comments (9)it's a personal choice. If re-sale is relevant, weird floorplans can impact on prospective buyer appeal. Also depends on whether you are a person that generally invites other people into the space, and if so, whether you care what visitors see. If not, then this seems to be driven by your desire for maximising your floor space rather than having what you consider large scale hallway. A good compromise would be to use this space for shallow wardrobe items such as shoes, folded clothes and drawers, all of which are easily concealed behind doors yet only require a depth externally of 400mm -this will keep the space more open than a 600mm deep wardrobe and take a lot of storage requirement out of you wardrobe leaving you generous space for hanging. The narrow cabinetry would also work for utility items such as brooms /linen etc...See MoreWalk-through Closet to Master Bath?
Comments (8)I think it depends on how neat you are in keeping your hanging clothes looking nice. Some walk-in-robes have the aesthetic of a tornado hitting a 2nd hand clothing store. You have three "dead" corners in your proposed walk-through robe which are always tricky to access clothes. For a walk-through robe I would always prefer two opposing rows of built-in cupboards with nice doors and door hardware to avoid any potential mess. At the end of the day it is your home, and it is your private sanctuary so it has to be right for you and I wouldn't care about "tradition". So many "traditions" in building design are about saving builders costs, and not about good design for the way that you live, which is the most important thing.
