Ensuite, WIR and pantry design help needed
Comments (8)Thanks, oklouise. This is our only bath, so it needs to stay. The kitchen does not have lots of storage, so I was hoping to increase the size of the pantry a bit. Or to make it rectangle so that there is more storage. If I need to then I will take some space out of the lounge beside the kitchen. So the ensuite has a reasonable vanity, toilet, shower and bath. The pantry has the fridge in it as I am not keen on how it would look in the kitchen. But I am open to ideas. Deanne....See MoreMaster/WIR/Ensuite dilemma?
Comments (14)siriuskey/differentways passy1. I missed your comment, This new space is the new master and not a living space, the ensuite can have highlight windows to allow for northern light and extra ventilation, it's up to you. I have used double cavity sliders between it and the bedroom to allow you to open up the two spaces, light and ventilation Window in bedroom, going by the agents drawing there are already windows next to the sliding doors, not that it matters, sliding doors can be locked leaving a small opening for ventilation with the screen drawn across, even without that there is already plenty of ventilation and light coming via the ensuite I did think to open the ensuite to the pool even though you said that there's already another bath I thought you might just like a bath in the ensuite which could have sheers and or split timber shutters to give privacy from the pool.

Comments (7)using the available space the storage walls in the wiw could be about 30cms wider than the existing biw but the ens is smaller without enough space for a vanity...moving the wall would create more wiw but the ens is still not long enough for more than a 1200 wide vanity so for all the trouble and expense of an extension (that will need council approval and fees) there isnt any real improvement on what you already have and the linen storage has also been lost......See MoreMaster Bedroom, WIR & Ensuite Design After Home Addition
Comments (12)Thank you for your feedback. I agree with your comment on the main bathroom. That layout is from the original 1984 house build, so it's something I'd like to address, but I don't quite have a vision of how to get around that yet. The second living area you mention was a discussion point during design, but we felt gaining the extra bedroom, robe and bathroom had higher importance. Our thought process was that bedroom 3 could always be opened up off the main entrance and converted to a small second t'v room if we needed it (3.4m x 3.1m). We also converted a 6m x 6m garage to a living area with tiled floor, insulated walls, air con, couch and t.v etc, so having that space swayed the decision to go with an extra bedroom and bathroom....See Morepottsy99
