Bathroom & Laundry Renovation Design Dilemma
Comments (15)correct measurements are the only answer...for your new floorplan you need a room (without any restrictions that would measure at least 2400mm x 2000...it's always possible to squeeze in some minor variations but only if it's worth the cost in convenience, improved value of the property and actual cash outlay.... the front door entry foyer would be lost, the new bathroom doorway wastes more space, the linen cupboards would be too narrow for anything except a few towels and sheets (that can easily be stored in a suitable vanity or bedroom cupboard) the bathtub is gone and you would have spent about $20,000 for a bathroom that is not better than what's already there?? ...the computer programs that we use are called 3D Home Architect and my version 4 is no longer available to buy but i believe siriuskey may have purchased her version recently? these programs do make the plans much easier to see but you must start with accurate measurements and an understanding of spaces needed ...start with a space about 800 x 800 mm for a toilet, 900 x 900mm for a basic shower, 500 x 900 for a single handbasin 1500 x 500 for a double handbasin then add in at least 900 x 900 for a doorway (including space for the frame and space to walk through...same for cavity sliders!) and then you'll need space to walk around in front of the toilet and shower and handbasins ......unfortunately with the plumbing and space restrictions i don't believe it's possible to do more than widen the existing shower space by rearranging the entry wall.(NB you'll still need to spend $5000 to $10,000 for demolition, carpentry, new waterproofing, tiles, shower, vanities wall cabinet, taps, plumbing etc..forget the linen cabinet and store linen in a new vanity and toiletries in a wall hung mirror doored cabinet and keep some width in the entry foyer (minimu 1200 wide) ...removing some of the non structural wall in the kitchen should be the cheapest improvement for the kitchen and add space for a small breakfast bar but removing the end counter would lose valuable counter space that could also be used for a pantry ...before making any decision you need to think about the reason for the changes...are the bathroom, laundry and kitchen in need of immediate repair, is the unit for your own use of needing improvements for rental or resale...?? always happy to draw up your plans but have to nag again about the accurate measurements...try measuring each separate room (ie shower, toilet and vanity, laundry and storage from wall to opposite wall in several places in both directions, ignoring all the fittings but include separate measurement of the diameter of the hot water heater....See MoreBefore & After: A Laundry Renovation
Comments (20)While it looks nice , I still can't understand why every before photo on every design website has a weeks worth of clutter and the power disconnected ; the after has 3 times the number of lights , every light turned on and every benchtop polished to within an inch of it's life . . . . . . . . . ....See MoreIdeas for new floor plan for bathroom/toilet/laundry renovation
Comments (3)what is the hallway marked .59 and your plan shows bed 2 opening off the master bedroom...it would help to be able to see the whole house plans before attempting an extra bathroom...See MoreLaundry renovations
Comments (15)With estimating the distance from walls to window, and assuming you do not want external access here are my thoughts. Turn toilet and install privacy wall. Install full height storage next to door. Then on the window wall, have a bench running along the full wall., except in the corner to allow for your top loading washing machine .With under bench storage, and also install overhead storage either side of window. I’ve assumed the window position because you have not given us those measurements....See MoreRachel Cauchi
