Ensuite Floor plan feedback please
Hi - I'd love some feedback on the floorpan for our master ensuite. We loooove having a good soak in the tub so the room is designed around fitting in a nice big one. The pocket door at the bottom will lead to a separate toilet. The door on the right leads to the master bed.

Comments (28)Hi again CLP. I don't call myself a "Pro" but I do have my own company purchasing, renovating and selling or renting properties as well as designing for other clients. I have an architect and builder whom I have worked with for years and we pretty much have a lot of things down pat by now. I also don't like to be a naysayer on other peoples work, but with Two's Company's ideas just be aware, and picture in your head, that you will have to keep the door to the WIR permanently closed. That, or be looking into your wardrobe all the time. Also, there is no door to close from the WIR/bedroom. Again, you'll be looking into your wardrobe all the time and if someone is in there with the lights on while another is trying to sleep????? Nope. The other way also allows for someone to walk between the ensuite and WIR without disturbing the person in bed. It may be fine for you now, but what happens if one of you takes on night shift, or one of you has a baby to get up to in the night, or one on you is sick all night and the other has to work the next day?????? You also lose valuable wall space for shelves or drawers with that design (3 walls) Swinging doors need space to open out and with the placement of the door to the ensuite, the wall behind one of them becomes unusable unless you walk in, close the door, then go into the ensuite. Cavity sliders give you clean wall space for freestanding cabinets and you can suspend rods from roof rafters for your shelves with hanging rails on them instead of fixing to wall studs. The comment about not looking at the side of the bed is valid, however if the 'suite' door is moved down as I suggested, the bed, and bedroom, will only be seen by someone standing directly in that alcove/hall area and facing the room! We all have different ways of living and seeing a design on paper can look really good...........but you need to see it in your head. Picture yourself living in and using the space. If need be, set up boxes to something approximating the design and actually walk through it. Good luck!...See MoreHelp with en-suite
Comments (34)Alright let's see if we can put this to bed. There's nothing at all wrong or amateurish with your home. Agree seeing photo it's arguably too much of a compromise nor cost effective to move/change the window considering outcomes. The solution here will come in the fit-out and how to balance that as best as possible within the constraints set. You can do it with a 1500 size bath option, 900x1200 shower. and it's essentially a tweak/fine-tune from the idea you had originally. (I shouldn't really do this but here you go/I'm feeling generous today ;) ) You run a ledge all the way around the back and end walls. Mirrored cabinets all along the end above the basin. This will feel massive and luxurious with the ledges/more dimension & interest. But you'd need a concealed in wall cistern. Any privacy concerns (in bathrooms) can be managed by combination blinds/furnishings - arguably much more flexible (and cheaper in this situation) than changing glazing to frosted glass. And then you still retain an outlook/light to your ensuite during the day etc... Good luck & Merry Christmas :) PD...See MoreHelp with master/ensuite plan
Comments (20)And the following, because space is critical I have thought that the small court on the western boundary off the kitchen could be included into the floorplan just using high windows? As OKL has previously mentioned possibly relocating the master suite which you responded that you were understandably wanting to keep costs down. It's still vital for you to get the best possible floorplan so that things flow. Without most dimensions my suggestion of a possible floorplan Changing the end bedroom and Rumpus rooms into a master suite, the kids bedrooms side by side and the rumpus off the bedrooms, The study opening off the kitchen family so you can over see them using computers and doing home work, plus its a lovely space to do anything that you would normally do on your computer. I also like the idea of seeing the fireplace when coming down into the house.so I would personally prefer keeping to to the left of the room which could help with better furniture layout...See MoreEn-suite floor plan, 1 or 2?
Comments (7)the first variation feels very cramped and number 2 is more comfortable but, given enough space, you could consider another option and adding furniture helps understand the spaces better but maybe the bed would be better along the back wall so that you could have a view to the deck from in bed..but that could mean rethinking that extra window ..perhaps a tall narrow window behind the chair? (nb dimensions are only guestimated and the plan suggests that a liitle extra could be taken off the bedroom to make the ens and wiw wider to allow for bigger bath and/or wider and/or twin handbasins)...See More

Here is how it fits into the master suite. Running along the bottom are living areas.

This is some very rough measurements that we are working with, trying to avoid some significant trees on our block / set backs etc. I feel like I can't have confidence in the dimensions being okay until I detail the layout of each room.
We are not locked in to the position of windows and doors.
I was hoping to use the toilet in the master suite as a powder room for the kitchen, dining, living.
This is the upper floor of two. The lower floor contains the laundry, more bedrooms, second living space.
Happy to hear any thoughts, including "get some more detail and come back". :-) - 6 years ago

never too early to think about what you'd like and with 10m x 3.5m there should be plenty of space for numerous variations but you should add in fixtures, furniture and circulation spaces eg think about where you would look out a window (or be overlooked by neighbours), or walk around the bed, walk through the wiw and stand to dress and/or dry yourself or sit to take off shoes..different options are OK for one person but for sharing it's good to be able pass without bumping into each other and is there easy reach for towels and toilet rolls..here's one option that has space for the separate powder room and extra storage with room for the biggest bath and double shower but the vanity is only 1500 wide, blocks the doorway and no easy location for handtowel..maybe lose the storage and have the vanity in an alcove or there's probably a better option but we need to know about adjoining rooms, outside walls and potential window locations

To close out this conversation... we decided in the end to have a separate powder room and this is where the layout is sitting currently. No feedback needed, just thought it would be good to close the look. Thanks for all the help.
