Help with floor plan please.
Comments (5)Lets start with logic -- if you want to add more stuff , within the same walls , it will be more cramped . The only way is to take space off something else . Without knowing load bearing walls , directions , window sizes , etc , etc , etc , I'll make a couple of POSSIBLE suggestions , but neither may be suitable for a whole variety of reasons . One would be to cut a door from the Master bedroom into the Living , wall across and create an ensuite . The Living isn't huge , so then you'd have to keep going , and maybe open the wall to the kitchen AND take out that back hallway , from the door in the existing hallway . You should then have space to swap the living and dining rooms , but without even getting into the engineering side , you will have a bedroom and bathroom opening off the living , the studio and laundry may be a bit funny , etc . But heres an off-the-wall suggestion -- that Bed 4 looks small . Split it , make it part WC , part laundry . What to do with the existing studio/laundry/WC ? You possibly have space to add a shower , and presto -- you have a new Master with en-suite ! Now , it does look like that may have been an addition abyway , it may not work materials wise , you may not want to be at that end of the house , BUT its an idea . Got you thinking ?...See MoreHelp please! Ideas to reconfigure downstairs floor plan
Comments (12)You've got some great suggestions there, so I won't really add anything different, but I'm wondering how you use the living area, do you need both a lounge and a living room or would you benefit from another room like a guest room or office, or a reading/library room? A studio? Do you like having a lounge area and separate tv area, or would that all be the same area? My family all likes being together but doing their own thing so for us a large family room that includes reading, tv, arts/crafts, toys, boardgames and spaces to do all those things is what we need. But I know other families like having separate rooms for different activities, just sort of depends how you live. As for the reluctant renovation partner, sometimes its just a case of not being able to see what you are thinking... or even seeing why a change would help. One thing I like to do is just just rearrange the rooms and set up the areas as they'll be used. For the time being ignore the wall positions. Go right ahead and swap the tv and dining furniture and see how it feels, you'll soon see if some areas are cramped and the walls need to be pushed out or where the door should be. sometimes its easier for people to solve problems than imagine design changes that avoid problems....See MoreFloor plan help and advice please

Comments (7)I'm assuming a Pooja room is a prayer room?? You have an extraordinary large home, unless the rooms are very small, for two people. So there should be room in another part of the house to place the Pooja room. Keep original plan as is. with living to the front. You have to try and get some northern sun into your home. But, do you really need three living areas, plus a study plus 4 or 5 bedrooms, for two people?...See MoreKate
