the first works if you move the bed to the right hand wall, you will still have a good outlook, as it is you will feel to enclosed the with walls next to the bed being so close

Thanks yes I agree bed should be on other wall. Just not sure about walking through the robe to get to the bedroom.

I would use doors with that layout plus widen the distance between the robes, ie; entrance width,

wouldn’t that make the bedroom too small?

Have also thought about swapping en-suite and robe somehow. I could make the area where the en-suite currently is 2m by stealing room out of another room next to it. This is a new build (probably should have said that, oops) so can rejig anything within reason.

I think , unfortunately, you will still hear the noise from the en-suite with this new design but if all the plumbing was on the outer wall, it may not be as bad. And personally I would rather go through a wardrobe to the bathroom than go through a bathroom to the wardrobe ( Eg if someone was using the en-suite you wouldn't be able to access the wardrobe if it was at the other end.)

Looking at your post it looked like you would have room to enlarge the walk through robe, will have another look at it when you post more of your new build

What size is your bed

We have a Queen bed. Here is the full plan for the top floor. It’s a south facing semi so the skylight is a necessity and have 4 kids who are at an an age they all need their own space (otherwise 5 beds upstairs is crazy!) The red line near bed 4 is where our architect thinks we can build too which council will be happy with so we can move everything up a bit to allow more room where the en-suite currently is. Wouldnt mind a bigger main bathroom too though but can’t have it all. Bed 5 still a decent size and some of it is within the current roof space as we have very steep pitched roof so council should be ok with it. thanks all.

Love your architects plan making the best of your floor space I would stick with that just making the walk way between robes the same as the entrance. This layout is also good when coming in late, a laundry cabinet to take soiled clothes on the way in and getting ready for bed. I will still do a quick layout showing the bed against the other wall

Amazing thank you. Yes, we are overall really happy with our drawings but I can’t visual it.

Would you consider the following change to the master wall

Im not sure that would seperate the bedroom from the dressing area enough (and therefore we would wake each up coming / going) I do like it though.

I like oklouise suggestion too with the ensuite through the robe. Lots to think about.

With a door ( the pocket could be changed to a hinged ) between the bedroom and WIR it would be like two separate rooms. The WIR has it's own window which gives light and fresh air plus you don't have to walk through the WIR to get to the Bedroom or ensuite

This might help you visual the spaces

Thank you. Would you swap the bathroom and the wir? Since I can make current en-suite area 2.1 wide?

The current ensuite is 1500 wide, bedroom 3300, doing that would make the bedroom 2700 wide which is much too small

But it can be swapped, I will redraw for you cheers

Sorry I meant we could make that area bigger by pushing all the other rooms forward as we can build a bit further to the front of our house, if that makes sense. Master bedroom would stay same size.

This with ensuite and WIR swaped

I have 3 kids and two bathrooms, with one toilet outside the bathroom I it’s own room. no en-suite. I think you need to go with such a plan. Or at least be prepared to share your en-suite. Your family bath is too small for even two to brush teeth together.

Main bath is 2m by 4m I think which I thought was plenty until I tried to fit everything in. Definitely need a bigger vanity in there.

We do have a third bathroom downstairs though.

with 4 kids and two shift workers i suggest that you will appreciate more bathroom space but as i can't read the dimensions on the whole floor plan my suggestions are based on approximate sizes for the kids rooms and any extra space added to the family bathroom and ensuite

I'd say stick with architects plan. You get more noise via doors rather than through a wall unless the plumbing, etc. is right against the bedhead wall. I would still suggest that you insulate between walls.

Okl plan with wall noise insulation/plaster should work well.

I also like oklouise plan.

good insulation is the key. In your original posted plan, Maybe change where the beds are positioned in the room. I think there is some bad feng shui if your head is backing onto a toilet. Apart from the noise factor, every time the toilet is flushed.
