Layout for Parent Retreat
This is a large room (almost 10m x 5m) that comes off our bedroom (which is through the double doors on the left). We would like to turn it into a parent room (once we have finished renovating!). We would like a coffee station (no plumbing - just a coffee machine, fridge and maybe a box of cereal and evening snacks!), TV area, sitting area and a desk. It’s got gorgeous views from both windows and is a nice room, but I find the dimensions are difficult. It will be mainly used for a bit of personal space in a multigenerational family home (for us and my children (and children-in-law!)
Thanks for any inspiration!

last yearMaybe something like this. The cupboards with under bench fridge and storage with coffee machine area at the end near the window, which is full height ceiling. A dining setting which can double as a desk, or a small dining setting and a desk in front of the window. The lounge and tv area at the end away from kitchenette and stairs.

Comments (5)Hi Judy, I'm a bit late but just in case you're still playing with your room... On the table: Try a table runner (a cotton brightly coloured or striped navy & white will go with a beachy nautical look). The latern you've got is a good style but needs to be bigger and centre it in the middle of the table (if you want to keep it and use it then see if you can get another one and then add a hurricane lamp that will group together on the table - odd numbers work best). On the corner coffee table: See if you can some how get a stand that will raise the model boat up so that the eye roams around the room rather than straight to the mid height of the room. On the wall with the window and photo: You could think about adding a timber oar over the window and the picture to create a more united look (grouping the wall) and additional boat/beach pictures - keeping the commonality of the frame and matting that will tie it all together. On the bench seating: add some fun cushions it'll make it more inviting to sit on. You've got great basics for a room to kick back with a few beers/wines with mates - just play with your décor pieces. Good luck!...See MoreHelp with layout for master/parents' retreat
Comments (14)This is the top level of a house that does not exist yet. While looking at the floor plan, we are assuming up is north and down is south, then the sunrises at south-east and sets at north-west. But my views are to the south, which is why I prefer a balcony to the south. Note: the balcony must be inside the footprint of this floor plan not outside of it.

Comments (30)This is the downstairs plans (colourful agent ones), I am onsite at work at the moment and don't have access to the formal plans. There is an area added onto the back room, opposite the kitchen heading out towards the backyard. Works have already begun. This area (6.2x3.8) (not shown in these plans) is designed be an indoor/outdoor entertainment room, by the pool. Please feel free to provide feedback relating to the master/office space. I do not require a full time office at home, only in the event of a level 4 lockdown plus some after hours work being done from home. We already have an office/warehouse- separate from home....See More- last year

If you install a bench top extending from the kitchenette I have drawn, across the front of the window, and have stools there, that would look good and you will enjoy your views.

my suggestion would be to use big furniture in scale with the size of the big room and i've included two comfy recliners facing the view and tv, a big lounge for family "visitors" and (as dreamer has already suggested) i would have a full sized dining suite for meals, board games and hobbies, a wall of storage for books, games and music, a kitchenette including a tall narrow fridge freezer, microwave, coffee machine, kettle and toaster with storage for waste bin, cutlery, crockery, glasses, breakfast needs, snacks and clean up supplies ..the office area has a deep extra wide bench top over chests of drawers with wall shelves and drawers for supplies and display and invest in electrical to provide power access close to seating for side lamps and task lighting and enough power points for kitchen and office equipment and there's a small table for set down and charging station
