Design Help - Rumpus Room - Upstairs or Downstairs
Comments (6)Depends on where bedrooms/studys are, what sort of things will be done in the rumpus room. Do you need to supervise the kids in the rumpus, etc.. Its more about how you live in a house and will use a space rather than what works for others. Be really 'cut throat' with decisions and question yourself of why you need it. A rumpus room has dropped out of 'fad/fashion' and seems to be replaced with 'media' rooms. Just as 'formal dining room's' have gone almost completely....... Do we really need extra rooms when we could have rooms able to be used for more than one purpose....See MoreHelp needed fitting ensuite, powder room, etc into existing space
Comments (6)I would ask the builder about the best solution for the windows in the new ens and laundry as it will depend on the wall structure and waterproofing requirements but it should be more cost effective to install two windows side by side in the old laundry window opening as the windows would need to be ready to install as the old Window is removed and new dividing walls installed ..and, as i would be reluctant to remove the external laundry door, i suggest a tall storage cabinet against the bathroom wall with the ironing board on the external wall and if you decide to lose the door add extra storage in front of the door...See MorePlease help me position a guest toilet/powder room
Comments (12)I have a separate guest toilet without windows using a ceiling extractor fan - not a problem. I also have internal cavity sliding doors to bathrooms and toilets and love how they give extra space and options regarding placement of items. Another location alternative for you may be between the cinema room and the kitchen, depending on what you had planned for that extra space in the kitchen. Two metres is a wide hallway, if that is what it is? Ours is 1.3 which is considered wide (as we need to accommodate a wheelchair which has to turn into doorways). An advantage of a very wide hallway is it gives room for extra furniture placement such as bookshelves, linen or other cupboards if needed. I don't see a linen cupboard or pantry cupboard in your plans. Something else to think about is future proofing - try to cover future possibilities with regard to function, as making structural or fittings changes later can be more expensive, and may come at a time when you can least afford it (e.g. injured, disabled, children, aging or other such people visiting your home). Lives change, sometimes over time, sometimes in an instant, and suddenly the doors are not wide enough (especially the toilet door!), or the walls are not strong enough for a weight-bearing rail, and a host of other things. We put 900cm doors as a minimum and it makes life a lot easier, including moving furniture in and out. Universal Design principles are worth a look. Sadly these considerations are currently considered special or optional, although there are moves to change that, so that builders and architects will consider these things as standard....See MoreDesign Help please! Laundry and powder room
Comments (20)If the rumpus is going to be used as a family day care room, then I think the powder room should be accessible from there. This will make it so much easier for one person to supervise the kids in the room as well as the one who is heading off to the toilet. Perhaps you also need a wet area in there for cleaing up after messy activities. I know someone with a similar family day care set up, and they have toilet and laundry attached to the back of the garage/daycare space. And then the kitchen is adjacent, this makes life a lot easier for the sole person in charge of the kids....See MoreC P
