Alternative layout for Master bed / WIR / ensuite
Comments (32)I think siriuskey's latest plan is better, as it extends length of double shower which resolves the issue of chute/cupboard combo door, and allows for a wider door into master bedroom. A wider door will be a more dramatic entrance to this large suite, so worth seriously considering. The plan does eliminate the linen cupboard; however. Personally, I would not want to store my bed linens in a bathroom simply because of moisture/steam. The generously sized walk-in robe has more than enough space for bed linens to be stored. That's where I stored mine in our last home. It was very convenient and only a few steps from shelf to bed. I stored all other linens in the wardrobe of upstairs spare bedroom, close to the kids' rooms. Re the double shower - I mentioned previously a 1.8m length is sufficient IF you have a glass sliding door that slides alongside track like a barn-style door. Hubby & I did regret not thinking about how awkward a hinged/pivot door would be. Current dbl shower is 2.2m and has the sliding door I described. We didn't request a longer shower, but the architect drew it up that way. Given my choice, I'd always go with bigger....See MoreEnsuite/WIR layout
Comments (64)The doors can be hinged to open outwards. Ours opened onto verandah and back garden. Had drapes shut for sleeptime. It was a narrower sitting area so we each had chair and ottoman on either side of doors. Wasn't wide enough to accomodate side tables, which we would have liked for setting down books and coffee cups. I used the window sills next to chair for this. The devil is in the detail, and can learn so much through trial and error....See Moremaster bedroom / WIR / ensuite layout
Comments (2)can you post a copy of the existing house showing location of extension, side boundaries, direction of north and any views, where do the external steps from the master bedroom lead to and what do you want to have in the ensuite and any special furniture in the bedroom?...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 MoreJess R
