Please 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 MoreGuest room help
Comments (3)Hi , What a fabulous bed, I think some gorgeous new bedding to compliment the bed would look stunning in either white or cream even a pale grey, your bed could handle an ornate cover and look amazing, Bed Bath and Table have some great covers, this could blend in with the wall paper, you could change your shades to lighten the look if needed, you can paint over the wallpaper for a new look if you want a complete change, that would highlight the mirror, could look gorgeous....See MoreHow to create a office and guest bedroom in one room ?
Comments (2)You have posted on the Australian houzz site. But we can still help. Which would be used more, the desk or the guest bed. If the desk than I would have a sofa bed, which can be pulled out when needed, but a sofa when not needed. Gives you more room for a home office. The photo you have posted of the bed, that is a sofa bed. If the room would be used as a guest room more often, then make the wardrobe space into your study area. When guests are there, you can just close the doors....See MoreLooking for layout ideas for a Study / Second Living / Guest Room.
Comments (6)Hi there, straight away your predicament says to me WALL BED! The Europeans have are pros at living in tiny spaces that have to be multi use. There are some amazing wall beds that combine multi use functions like lounge/bed/office and take up very little space as they go against one wall leaving the remaining space free (just keep in mind you will need space to lower the bed when required). If you are in Australia try The Comfort Shop for some of the best multi-use wall beds that are italian made, they are pricey but worth it if you truly want a room that can be versatile (below are some of their better options, sorry some of the images are very small)...See MoreKK1000
