Positioning robes and windows to maximise bedroom space
What's the best layout in bedrooms to maximise space and allow for layout changes as kids get older? do I try and get robes and windows on 1 wall?

Ideas needed for hanging space & use of larger bedroom.
Comments (11)Not entirely sure what's going on here - it seems to be a big room with lots of space for more furniture - so, if you need more storage in the bedroom, get a bigger/wider dresser for the area in pic 1, move the TV out or hang it on the wall, put another dresser (no mirror) in the area where the chairs are in pic 2, and set up your robe in pic 3 so about half of it has two sets of rods, one about halfway down the wall, to hang shirts/blouses etc. Double the storage in that amount of space....See MoreWhere to put the robe in daughter's bedroom
Comments (3)ideally the sliding door could be replaced with a short window and the other window centred to better use floor space but accepting the current doors and windows i suggest quickest solution is a free standing wardrobe (check out IKEA or a refurbished 2nd hand old wardrobe painted her favourite colour?) on any free space otherwise a built in wardrobe should be on the short wall..an 1800mm wide up to 600mm deep built in or freestanding wardrobe 100mm out from the corner with window coverings inside the reveals and no longer than the window OR a shallow (less than 420mm deep) chest of drawers in the corner with a 1200mm wide 60mm deep wardrobe and the other furniture arranged to suit the sliding door opening...See MoreShould I put my builtin robe near the bedroom door?
Comments (12)I would build a new floor to ceiling robe where the existing robe is, extending it across to the door frame and building storage across the top of the doorway to the same depth 600 as the robe, this will give great hanging space and privacy from the living room. I would then add draws approx 450 deep facing the bed, this will give more floor space, I would have a full height wall on the entrance side of the drawers to give privacy to this space which could have a TV or shelves or artwork above these drawers. By using drawers and not full height robes it will make the bedroom feel bigger while adding extra storage. cheers...See Moresuggestion.. add a robe in the master bedroom??
Comments (7)You seem to have ample space in your dressing room particularly if you do not have a lot of clothes . If you add in the BIW in the bedroom you will lose that luxurious spacious master suite feel . If you eventually find the space inadequate then you could add a robe down the track . Don’t forget that in the dressing room your shelving storage allows you to store right up to the ceiling , even over your dresser area if you lose the window ....See More

4 years agoHi There,
Yep I agree with dreamer above. mostly!
Here is a suggestion.....KISS principal. Bigger robes, private for several people at once bathrooms, linen room because we can, bedrooms removed from other parts of the house so they are quieter, using robes as audio buffer too and the sitting room here could be able to open up to the other living areas if you like. This plan is about 600mm wider than yours but could be more if you wanted to make bedrooms bigger which I do not think is a bad idea....3.3 x 3 m is not generous even with 2.2 m of robe each.
I commend this plan to you and will look forward to seeing how the home comes together.
Good luck, Margot

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agomy suggestions also enlarges the bathroom to include bigger shower and a handbasin in the toilet, loses WIL in favour of built in storage and uses the saved space for a study nook to allow more space in the activity room and adds a cavity sliding door to create some occasional privacy for kids' area ...and the best way to decide windows and biw location is to first plan windows to suit the outlook (looking out to a view, hot afternoon sun, warm winter light etc?)and then consider furniture placement but the windows should be high enough off the floor to allow for placement of desk and/or bed (ie bottom of the window about 80cm off the floor) ..these few ideas showing a standard double or single bed but each bedroom has the 2m wide biw and entry doors on the same wall
