Master Bedroom Suite
Justin Eames
7 years ago
This is our current plan for the master bedroom. We would really like to have the feel of a walk in wardrobe, but just a bit tight on space.
Am I missing something glaringly obvious, or is this the best layout we could have?
All internal walls doors etc are moveable.
Appreciate your thoughts!

dressing room or larger 4th bedroom?
Comments (4)Hi Kathryn :) Estate agents would always go for 'more bedrooms' and we have recently worked on 2 projects where we converted rooms into smaller en-suites to make way for bedrooms. The thought of a dressing room is appealing but for me a larger bedroom more so. Sounds like you will have a lot of space downstairs which is where you will spend most of your time and having 4 large bedrooms, whilst still having an en-suite, can only add to this when and if the time comes to sell. How big would the en-suite be? It would also be a good idea to sketch it out and see how useable both new rooms will be and what you can comfortably fit in them.

Comments (36)I like Jonathon’s first drawing for a couple of reasons. You can have a walk in wardrobe for all the hanging clothes, which can end up looking a bit messy, and have the more traditional type of wardrobe for items that can be boxed up, such as handbags and shoes, and folded clothes / drawer items. I think a walk in wardrobe is better without a window as natural light can fade clothes, so much better to have a bright bathroom with 2 windows. Finally, as you’re building the internal walls from scratch you could look into having a pocket door system into the en suite thereby preventing a swinging door getting in the way of either the wardrobe or the shower....See MoreWIN products from our Houzz of 2018 Master Bedroom Suite!

Comments (5)Thanks Jonathan, appreciate the comments and suggestions. Indeed we had initially wanted to convert two of the bedrooms on the first floor into a larger master bedroom suite with dressing room and ensuite. But felt the loss of the middle bedroom would be too much, and the 3rd bedroom on the first floor is tiny. It probably wasn’t clear in my original post, but our plan is to add a new rear extension on the loft floor (directly above the tiny 3rd bedroom and bathroom on the first floor), so the overall floor space will increase. The intention for the new rear extension will be to become a flowing extension of the current loft bedroom, and be either a bathroom or dressing room, together with a roof terrace. I attach a partial floorplan of one of the neighbouring properties who have already done a similar extension...but without the terrace which I have crudely added in! Our dilemma is whether the new room should be either a dressing room or large bathroom? I am inching towards a dressing room as any future owner could convert it into a standard bedroom fairly easily (and would retain the en suite in the current loft bedroom) if and when we come to sell.

7 years agoThanks, that's great. The wall between the master and bedroom is partitioned and completely moveable. The wall between ensuite and bathroom is the original back wall and more fixed without more budget.
I like your thoughts about utilising some more of that space in the master and have been thinking about the possibility of a WIW behind the bed. The window in the bedroom is also moveable along the rear wall...
Maybe this kind of thing I found from another post?

7 years agothat's a good idea, but in your bedroom, the left wall is longer than the right. if the bed is along this wall, there'll be an impression of greater space I believe. a similar alternative is this

7 years agoThanks all! Actually I agree with Justin's comments. Wardrobes aren't the most tidy of spaces. I had a play following your comments and came up with this... what do you think?

7 years agoI had not shared this before, but just remembered we had previously tried the WIR suggested next to the ensuite.... it seemed to be a little limited on space, and we also had an issue where my wife wanted a window in there and it would have to be on the side.

7 years agoHi. I quite like the first option as it gives you more storage. I would however consider not having a full height wall behind the bed to give the feeling of space and also using mirrors to make it feel larger. I might also go for a larger window as it should make the bedroom feel bigger and use blinds/shutters rather than curtains. Personally I'd favour a larger shower over a double vanity, our sinks only get used together when I'm cleaning them :) could you flip the shower around and have the loo under the window?
