Master suite final layout
Comments (20)I've seen a few sliders painted with blackboard paint - they're so fun and mobile, if there's a hall door somewhere it might be an option as they muffle sound rather than seal it out. KRAKEN WHALE FIGHT! If it's childlike dreams you want to be added to the house, maybe do a kiddy-height connecting door between the kids' rooms or a little message chute they can send back and forth, pigeon holes to send letters to each other or some crazy options like your hidden door in a more public area like the front entertaining space. There are so many ways to add whimsy that can be fixed up and removed later on if yall need. If the kids are smol: Kids only door or Door in a door There's an amazing episode of Grand Designs with a couple of superfun ideas Scooby Doo House that made me realise hidden doors and revolving shelves are better for playrooms than bedrooms....See MoreRedesign Master Suite - Could we do better with existing room layout?
Comments (11)if you plan to remove the existing master ensuite you may find that when repairing the walls and floors you may have an option to put another door through near the existing toilet to rearrange the access to the ens and wiw to a more convenient place and size but, before making any specific, plans you should carefully measure all the spaces including the halls and bathrooms as the plans have some inconsistencies that make it difficult to make suggestions ...are all the internal walls brick and what is the floor made out of?...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 suite WIR floor plan help!
Comments (19)Hi Guys, lets see if I can help! It appears to me that bed two has no robe...if that is correct we can help here too. Redirect some of your existing robe from the far end ie 1200? to bed 2. Then put 900 of hanging or shelving across end external wall...when arranged with long, short hanging and shelving this will work with more robe space for you both. What length of robe you loose is made up for in shelving and hanging design to suit your needs. Build a wall, new bed head, not full height if you like or with some top glazing and put door right next to room/hall door. Actually on your left as you enter bedroom. This leaves bathroom untouched, faces bed to the windows therefore to the view, gives bed 2 a robe and all with no dead corners! I do hope this helps you. Cheers, Margot...See MoreTanya Couch
