Master bedroom redesign

6 years ago

Hello

Sorry if this is brief, I just wrote a load of stuff and it didn't post!

So, bathroom needs redoing (shower leaking) and we really want to incorporate a dressing room. Looking for ideas for the floor plan (where to put door into dressing area and ensuite). All walls are non structural so can be removed, so pretty much a blank canvas apart from where the main door and windows are.

Currently thinking remove both wardrobes, move the wall on the left slightly into the bathroom, have a walk in shower with fixed glass where bath is, smaller bath under the window, move the door to where the small wardrobe is, double sink where the current door is and leave the toilet where it is (or slightly to the right).

Not sure about dressing area and how to access the bedroom from the main door, don't want to walk into a wall, maybe into the dressing area?

Length of room from window to window is 24' (7.4m).

Thanks for looking!

Something like this could work. Pinch some of the wardrobe from bed 3, move the entrance to the bedroom slightly, and have a 'hidden' door through the wardrobe into the en suite.

I think there's possibly an area of wall at the bottom which would prevent you from moving ALL of the wall to the left as per your main bathroom idea...........I also don't think it's necessary.

I do think a compromise is needed with regards the En-Suite if you want a great dressing area.

The compromise would be to have it as a shower room only En-Suite ( no bath )

Hi, i really like your new plan! Much better with the light and space, the only thing i'm not sure about is your half height wall. I don't agree that you need to break up the space, and it may look a little odd. Just a couple of things to consider:- 1. The measurements I presume are external and therefore, the measurement inside will be smaller, so check with the builder the internal measurements. 2. It is unlikely that you'll be able to have a double sink in the bathroom, your plan has the toilet against the wall and no gap to the left of it. You need roughly 1 metre for a gap either side of the toilet, and the toilet in the middle of that gap. That leaves you with 845mm for a basin, and that's not taking into consideraton the loss of length due to the measurements being external. 3. There is no indication of any structural support for the roof , which you need to check with a structural engineer, what you need and can have. You have taken down two parts of external wall and the roof needs to be supported, normally on a 'return' of wall. 4. Regards the 'Half Wall idea' and the placement of the right hand wardrobe as you look from the bed, you will see part of the wardrobe over the height of the dwarf wall, which will look odd, so I suggest that that portion of the wall ( wardrobe depth ) is actually full height to cover the view of the end of the wardrobe and break up the space as you said you would like. Also mirror this depth and height the other side to match, and, this will enable the support that you need across the ceiling to support the roof. 5. Same principal applies for the roof support on the bathroom area as point 4 Here are a few illustrations to help you visualise. You will see in the first one, that i put in your half wall, and you see the side of the wardrobe. This one is with a small return wall, same depth as wardrobe but full height. This is the whole layout with returns on brickwork where you may need to keep them. I don't think you will need an extra return bythe area at the end where the en-suite was, but is now wardrobes, but you had better check with a structural engineer! Good luck !!! and, keep us all posted

Hi there! It is difficult to believe this is the same room. Great job and fantastic transformation. Personally not a big fan of photo wallpapers but in this case they are very successfully used. I think you have a very happy client!

Hi. Yes, I would paint the wardrobes and it really depends on the colour of the other walls. If you paint them the same colour as the wall they are on then they will appear to be apart of the wall and will be far less imposing. The mix match of woods doesn't help so I would look at changing this to have one wood and the painted if possible. I would add height to the room to help with the look, mirror the length in the wardrobes opposite drawing your eye up the space, with taller more imposing bedside lamps.

Thank you both for replying.

Yes that wall at the bottom can't really be moved as it contains the soil pipe for the toilets.

The main bathroom doesn't need changing, the cupboard from the hall is the airing cupboard so that can't be moved either.

But I do think maybe we make it a wet room with a nice walk shower without the bath. Not sure about walking straight into dressing room - we'd have to keep it exceptionally tidy or it would annoy me...

Oh and just to clarify, I meant move the wall that is currently the back of the double wardrobe slightly into the bathroom to free up a bit of extra space for the walk in wardrobe, not moving the wall between the bathroom.s
