Which design is best for this master ensuite?
Please help, I am just about to start renovating my bathrooms and need help with the design.
This is the floor plan and measurements of what is currently there, but the toilet is right infront of the vanity. Any suggestions would be amazing. Thank you

Comments (12)reluctant to lose the convenience of outside access to a toilet my suggestion sacrifices a little space off the lounge and bedroom to keep the extra toilet and use the original laundry space for a bigger ensuite with separate toilet and double vanities, the new extension makes a more spacious wiw with only standard doorway openings to the new rooms but the ideal outside door for the laundry will depend on the location of the drying area and you may decide that a western door or no outside door (and walk through the verandah?) could both add more counter space to the laundry and, much as i like the gable roof for the extension, it would be interesting to obtain a comparative quote for a simple skillion roof (and raked ceilings for the new laundry and wiw) that may save a lot of extra roof structure that doesn't add anything to the inside of the new rooms or streetscape and could be much cheaper.....See MoreEn-suite and walk in Wardrobe shared sliding door
Comments (17)We have the same layout as you in our 90s spec built home. We have Bunnings type cavity sliders so I imagine ours are about as cheap as you can get. They are awful - they are noisy when they slide so if one of us gets up in the night for the bathroom, we have to open the door in slow motion so as not to wake the other one up! We have them on our other wet rooms through the house and I find them not too bad acoustically but they don't screen anything in the ensuite. I would not recommend them at all. As for whether to have 1 or 2 doors, the only time I close the WIR door is when I am at my wits end haha! It's a great space for a private phone conversation but I really couldn't be bothered closing the door any other time...See Moremaster en-suite layout
Comments (21)Thanks Margot, north is to the right of the plan above, but the master and theatre (east) face natural bushland, and the master is not to the right of the design due to cars entering on each street coming towards that corner (street to front and right). Being a corner block we wanted to keep as much privacy for the master if possibly. We plan on a full fence to enclose the back bedrooms and following that a white picket fence or other permeable fence around to the front, with trees planned on the north and east sides. It can get quite hot in summer here so not hugely worried about heat and sunshine etc. Also wanted the master to face the natural bushland. The garage could go on the boundary, though adds more cost and there is a small power dome so the driveway would need to curve around that. We have taken on board feedback for the bedrooms and powder at the back. Will have a play around and see what we can shift to make the bedrooms bigger etc. Thanks so much for the help :)...See Moreamynewberry

4 years agoTo save on costs, because of the concrete slab, I suggest to leave plumbing in current position. Replace the corner bath with a standard rectangle bath, or freestanding back to wall bath, update fixtures on vanity and shower if required. The major expense is to move the toilet across, closer to new bath. This is possible, but a messy undertaking. Are your walls brick, or stud walls? If they are not brick walls, you could install a toilet with the cistern hidden in the wall for more room in bathroom.

4 years agoMoving the plumbing is the obvious thing to avoid from a cost perspective, but I reckon if you‘re budget could stretch to a little extra plumbing then your best bet is to move the door, at least layout-wise.
By moving the door into the centre of the wall you could free up space for the double vanity (negating the toilet/vanity combo). Then you could throw in a triangular shower (whatever the technical name is) - or have a walk-in shower with the open entry on the angle - which would free up floor space and make all areas easy to access. And you keep your massive bath :-)
