hi I am trying to find the best way to create a bedroom

5 years agoI can't see enough of the dimensions to do a proper plan. However, as your roof is the opposite way round to most of us, you will have constrictions on your usage upstairs.
I don't see the point of messing with two bathrooms when you don't need to, it's just added expense. Plus, if you don't touch them, you end up with the bedrooms all having an En-Suite, which is a real luxury.
It's a simple 3 metre extension, but the dormers on the sides don't come right to the end of the roof line, so when you add the 3 metres, you will add more on the inside ( if that makes sense ).
So a rough guide would be this:-

Is this the best way to design my relaxing themed bedroom???
Comments (2)Hello Pippa, One way of making more of your space is to perhaps consider a bench or seat at the end of your bed.. It could be a small sofa or ottoman style arrangement.. It could even situate a useful linen storage inside.. The other idea I thought you might benefit from would be in the desk area.. Have a look at a bureau style desk that can be closed when not in use, thus presenting a serene area that doesn't say "office".. Consider a chair that looks functional but not office like.. In this way you can section areas of your bedroom for work etc but it does not have to look out of place whilst doing so.. If you prefer something more like a desk, why not look at leaning furniture... http://www.grahamandgreen.co.uk/balthazar-ladder-desk You could actually paint this to suit the room... So it doesn't have to be plain wood and white, it could be anything you liked... Even blending into the wall if it was painted the same as...with the equivalent eggshell. Keeping things minimal and neat will aid to the aesthetic of the room and so you can "switch off" more easily when you want. Find something nice to hang above the bed... perhaps a decorative mirror or convex style sunburst.. For dressing the bed.. I came across these.. Rather lovely and you can compliment them with a lovely white bedspread and a large pair of linen cushions.. : )) (It's meant to be the baby blue or "Mint" version I clicked on and saved link.. but for some reason it reverts to the brown! :( ) http://www.wayfair.co.uk/PAD-UK-Tufted-Bed-Runner-BCT0026-PADK1022.html...See MoreMaster bedroom...can I fit in what I want?
Comments (17)Nothing odd about walking into a spacious bathroom and having the window in front of you. Is there a nice view? If so, and the window is unfrosted, you will enjoy waking up to it. If not and the window is obscured glass you could built a window seat under it. Toenail cutting is always better for a good comfy place to sit!...See MoreWhat do you think is best use this bedroom space?
Comments (29)So... managed to find time to discuss it late last night, and we definitely like the idea of being able to make bed 3 larger. I've taken it slightly further in some ways but less in others to try and minimise the cost hopefully as bf thinks that regardless of what we do, it'll end up being prohibitively expensive to re-organise upstairs. This plan would : Keep doorways off the landing to bed 2/3 the same as they are currently (I appreciate the benefits of moving them in terms of not having it right at the top of the stairs, however there's still room for a stair gate at the top of the stairs (should we ever need one), and has never been a problem for us since we've been here regardless of who's stayed (almost 6 years). Removing your study area - we have a separate office/mancave downstairs, and I always work at the dining table even when I had an office space if doing work at home, allowing us to have a bigger family bathroom (maybe a pocket door) with hopefully room for a bath and walk in shower? (as actually the 2 bathrooms we'd be joining are quite compact!) Still quite a small landing area, which I appreciate is useful for general circulation space, but we'd be reluctant to cut into bed 3 more than we have to, and there'd be just enough room I think to have a small window which would hopefully make it feel more airy at least. FYI the pink line I've added is where we get full height ceilings back, as the front half of bed 2/3 mostly have sloped ceilings, except for where the dormers are, but they drop to about waist height at the front. The back wall of the ensuite would be the current back wall of the ensuite again to help reduce costs... Ideally I'd have preferred to creep it forward an extra 10-20cm to give that room to bed 3, however I think for such a small distance it's probably not worth having to knock down, and build another wall. What do people think? ? Obviously would still need to ask builders re cost etc and bf thinks I'm getting hopes up and it'll cost too much... (Anyone got any rough thoughts how much it might be?) but I did point out we could fit most of the bathroom stuff at a later date....See MoreI want to add add another bedroom to my 2 bedroom basement flat.
Comments (8)Hi Chris! Do you have any scope to move the entrance door? How would you feel about entering directly into your kitchen? How open plan do you want your living room and kitchen to be?

5 years agoI'm really struggling with the room dimensions...............can't make them work properly on a large plan. They just seem to be a bit 'off'. Anyhow, i've done my best ( and i'm not an architect ). I was working on not extending firstly. So, just having a re-jig upstairs, which is obviously the least costly way of doing anything at all. Basically, you're just moving walls, and all the internal ones should just be stud walls, so relatively easy.
Firstly I went with the easiest thing to do, which is this one.
Also, for whatever best reason known only to itself, my software is not showing dimensions. However, I haven't changed much, so it's hopefully not too difficult to follow.
Secondly, I went for this layout. I know it means moving the boiler, but you get a better bathroom.
Here I put the bathroom in the middle, extended it in to the smaller bedroom and gave you a better sized main bathroom. However, the compromise for that is, that you have to move the boiler and it makes the 3rd bedroom quite small.
I think if I were in your shoes, i'd just go for keeping the Utility where it is, giving more room to the smaller bedroom and having a shower room as is...................the least amount of moving around .
If you were thinking of extending, then the Utility would really need to go downstairs. It helps create the access to the new rooms and it is undoubtedly better off on ground level, near the kitchen and garden.
I'll have a play with that one later. Jonathan

5 years agoYes, Jonathon, Estate agents error in their brochure !! I amended it below to show true measurement of bedroom 3.
I also marked the fitted wardrobes in bedroom 2 upstairs, (which makes it look bigger than other room). There are none in bedroom 1, only existing eaves, but these could be adapted to do the same for storage there too.
Thank you so much for these new ideas on the plans MATH!

5 years agoAs I say, I can't reconcile the dimensions. There appears to be a 2ft ( roughly ) discrepancy across the width of the house. ie, if the kitchen is 22ft long, then I can't make the lounge, Hallway and study fit in to that measurement. The lounge and study add up to 19ft, which would leave 3ft for the Hallway and staircase, so that wouldn't work, and something is amiss. Also, the study is down as 1.45m which isn't 7'10".......I had to make it a rough guide!
So, this is what i'd go for as a plan b, following the initial amendment upstairs.................If you did the extension.............it would look roughly like this:-
I managed to fix the dimensions, so later i'll put them back on Plan A x
