Activity rooms - valued or a waste of space? Opinions please !
Comments (12)There is no one size fits all for family houses, but here is what I have observed. The first things you need are a decent sized family bathroom, and a decent sized laundry. Never underestimate the laundry size! Small children always want to be near you, so a playroom will just be a toy storage room. By the time they get to primary school and start having homework they need to be near you to do it. They also still enjoy being where you are. By the time they start to be more independent their bedrooms will be their sanctuary, so a larger size with plenty of storage will be more useful. Two living areas is ideal, but not essential. The main one will be where the family gathers to do whatever takes their fancy, where you will find all the toys and activities. Set up some desks for activities/homework etc. The other would be useful for a grown up sanctuary (the good room!!!) - this is the one that is not essential. So looking at your plan in my opinion, I would ditch the activity area and pay more attention to a bigger bathroom and laundry, and bigger bedrooms if that is an option....See MoreDoor less shower waste position
Comments (8)Hi Julia, I have drawn up as per your description. The shower recess could be no bigger than 1000x1000, as you need an area to access toilet, cupboard and for drying off. With this size shower you could have a shower curtain, therefore not worrying about the swing area required for shower door. If you want a door, then I suggest the shower recess needs to be reduced to 1000x900mm. Then you would just have enough room to swing door, but not all the way. Either way, even with a 900x900 shower and a door, it is tight. Waste for shower to be centred in the shower recess, with correct fall installed by tiler....See MoreHow to configure WIP/laundry/study/WC2
Comments (15)when you say left do you mean on the Murray Downs Drive or Kidman Drive.. (it's better to say North, South, East or West as left and right depends on which way you're standing) but how close to the north and west fences can you build and if you want the laundry on the North that could be better for coming inside from the carport but where would you have a clothesline or pool or lawns or vege garden and why is the big shed stuck so close to the north east corner and using so much of your block for driveways..and do you realise that if you remove the laundry from the south side that it reduces the size of the kitchen, family and meals area and leaves no other room for the laundry so the whole plan will need to be changed again and there's lots of wasted space and the master suite is stuck in the least favourable corner but you need to decide what is most important and design plans from the inside out...See Morelaundry and kitchen aren't functional, hallway seems a waste of space?
Comments (37)my sister had to originally put her washer dryer at one end of the kitchen, european style. She actually found it way more convenient, and so when she got to upgrade and do over the kitchen, one end of the galley became the butlers pantry with washer and dryer in there as well. maybe it could work, but given all the advice above, I think avoiding moving walls is going to be important. Gosh, hopefully everyone's advice helps! Don't worry and take your time, I have been in my old house a year and I think i came up with 4 different floor plans before i realised what I needed to do. keep thinking it over and one day it will just hit you what needs to be done....See More
