WIR configuration
I would love suggestions on how best to work with the space in our WIR. There is a window along one of the long walls (see pictured) which interferes with the space. ideally I would like the space to feel spacious enough to dress in. I am currently thinking we will put a full length mirror on the 1851 wall, drawers and short hanging on the window wall, and drawers and long hanging along the 2433 wall. This may work nicely to arrange my husband's clothes on one side and mine on the other, however I'm wondering if it will feel to boxed in?
Thanks!

Ensuite configuration
Comments (14)my biggest problem with your plan is the bed placement. Facing straight through ensuite is a lousy idea. I'd do one of those wir which creates a back wall for your bed (wide enough for bed and bed side tables) and then walk through to ensuite. This reduces the likelihood of waking up every time one person has to use ensuite. Forgive my appalling drawing!...See MoreMaster bedroom, WIR and en-suite design
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 MoreMaster bedroom/ensuite/WIR floor plan help!
Comments (14)One question i have with your design Oklouise is whether the sloped ceiling will look odd in bed 2? The house is an old queenslander and bed 2 was originally the lounge room, with two sets of french doors opening on to an enclosed veranda. We are opening up the front veranda but not the side one (because that would limit the floor space we have available to build in downstairs). The "reading/playroom" was kept separate to the bedroom because that space has a steep sloped ceiling and a set of french doors opening on to it so we thought it looked like a separate space. If we remove the french doors and knock down the wall, do you think the bedroom will feel strange? We would like to keep the set of french doors opening on to the verandah at the front of the room....See MoreIdeas for long skinny ENS
Comments (59)Ok So I may be repeating other here on here! I do not like the internal bathrooms and toilets. I would much rather see the ensuite on the outside wall and robe in center of house. WIR doesn't matter but fresh air and light in ensuite is a must to me. Enter main bedroom between the two. Also the kids bathroom and loo which needs to be a powder room so then you do not need the other one in center of house, find a way of them being on an external wall. maybe up with laundry? I really cannot see the use of such huge pantries....but then we are all different. I love our db shower: 1200 x 900 with two roses: he is 6 ft ++ and I am 5 ft nothing so roses stay where we each need them!! Cheers Margot...See More

3 years agoOk. Try
A- low hanging set back shelves over to fit to edge of window.
B- full ht hanging with shelf over.
C- narrow shelves under window.
Could put full ht mirror on wall backing onto bedroom instead of B there.
