Bathroom window covering.
Comments (45)I also have a window like that in our shower - it may, but doesn't normally get wet from the shower. I have put in a thin venetian blind in white (made from plastic) very cheap, under $5. I am in process of making an puffy austrian blind to hang above the window, for a bit of colour I am making it from a shower curtain). It will be there for looks, I may never pull it down. The venetian gives privacy and blocks the light a certain amount....See MoreHelp with bathroom plans... for 4 children (2m2f) 8yrs between them
Comments (25)Hi Emma, As you say, whilst it's lines on a page, you have a precious window of opportunity to get it right - before you make all these choices and decisions permanent ones you are forced to live with. So I hope you'll appreciate my honesty, and not be offended by it. I am incredibly passionate about helping people create homes that make their lives better, and I want you to achieve the best outcome possible for your home, your budget and your life, and that's why I don't mince words. I have such concerns about this floor plan generally Emma. I can understand the desire to maximise the view however I believe that the everyday use of your home, traversing all those stairs, and being disconnected from your garden (especially with small children) is consequently being compromised, and will be challenging and frustrating. I think the multi-purpose rooms appear to be space for space's sake ... they lack thought and intention for their use, and the way you need to circulate through or across them will compromise their functionality, furnishability and sense of space. It's interesting that there's no furniture shown in them on these floor plans, whereas the other areas are all furnished. With family homes, I would consider the following: supervision of gardens from indoor living areas has such a dramatic impact on the usability of the home overall, and your ability to get stuff done whilst kids play etc a study nook or somewhere near living areas where kids' use of computers can be supervised, and you have a home 'command station' of sorts is also good the ability to acoustically close off a lounge area - which is the kids' TV / play area is very helpful for long term use I wouldn't split the bathrooms - I understand what you're seeking to achieve, but replanning to group them in one area will consolidate plumbing and your wet area finishes and be more efficient overall consider creating a floor plan that works with access / circulation etc between living areas and garden, and then having an upper floor living area or retreat where you can enjoy the view One of the biggest challenges with homes in Brisbane is that they are completely divorced from their gardens because they have prioritised the view. As a mum to 3 young kids, and having helped truckloads of clients with family homes (and families of all ages), I know this for sure ... the connection to garden ... the ability to move in and out with ease, safety and enjoyment ... is one of the things that pays dividends long term. The view is the immediate and early 'wow' but the inconvenience of having to take a packed lunch each time your kids want to use the yard or pool is infuriating. With clever design you can have both convenience and enjoyment of the view. Your home design dictates the lifestyle you lead in it. Focus on functionality and durability and it will create a home that works now and always. There is no northpoint on these drawings, so I can't comment as to the success of the planning in terms of the orientation - which is something to be aware of also. I'd also be doing a budget check. There are A LOT of wet areas in this home because of how they're being distributed throughout the floor plan.

Comments (5)minor variation to dimensions allow for wider vanities, more space in the toilet and if you have the choice, the toilet reversed is more private (add sound insulation, ventilation for the toilet and a solar skylight for the vanity area will make the rooms more pleasant to be in and 60cm deep base cabinets have more counter space for the girls to spread out, storage under for towels and linen with matching mirror doored medicine cabinet for everything else...See MoreBathroom/laundry layout
Comments (16)Hi Siriuskey. Bifolds work with your layout, small laundry won’t work with sliding doors unless you can take it the whole length of room. It was touch and go fitting mine in with existing window and door. Can’t tell you how many times I measured depth of laundry. We had to pull of trim from side of window and trim window ledge back flush to side of new timber door frame. So glad I persisted and could get full height doors. Bifolds would not have worked at all for me with door and window and extra width. It wasn’t the only thing I shoehorned in. You may notice the toilet isn’t set back in line with shower, that was so I could squeeze in a dog legged entry into the old laundry of a slightly extended hall, laundry has become my study. Previously laundry had external access and access through the bathroom....See More- last month
