Master Suite dilemma
Hi folks!
I have a rather large bathroom and dressing area (the current layout is visible on Houzz - https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/a-mansard-conversion-master-bedroom-a-large-en-suite-and-a-roof-terrace-contemporary-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~23486796) which is a bad use of the space for me. Having lived with it for a few years now, I know I want to turn the entire space into a master suite so I can move the main bedroom to the rear of the property.
I just can't decide what to do, so I thought I'd ask the Houzz hive mind for advice. I would ideally like a dressing area, bedroom & bathroom in the space which is roughly 8.6m long by 4m wide. It is a mansard extension so one long side (on the top of the pics below) is at an angle.
I have three options. One creates a bit of a wardrobe corridor from which you access the bathroom. Another creates a walk-through wardrobe and leaves the bedroom with access to the juliet balcony, and a final option has a walk-through wardrobe into a bedroom, and puts the bathroom "around" the balcony but with double pocket doors to let light into the bedroom (there is still a large velux window in the bedroom space, to the left or just above the bed in each of the plans below).
I'd love some opinions and maybe some other options if you have them!
(ignore the slight dent in this last jpg - the space is a rectangle, this was from an old set of plans)

Help with Patterned On-suite Tiles Dilemma
Comments (1)Hi. You may be able to remove the tiles ( assuming they're of a standard size so you can replace!). Here's a link http://community.screwfix.com/threads/removing-tiles-without-damaging-adjacent-tiles.104683/ you can also get stick on tiles but they're 2mm deep http://www.stickandgo.com or you can paint them...See More5 bed or 4 bed - and what master/en-suite layout?
Comments (12)Do you plan to have a double bed in each room including your master? Having a 4 bedroom house, can give you the space to have a super king in your master bedroom which would balance the space out. Going with the 4 bedroom idea and having a larger master en-suite - it feels like there is a lot of empty unusable corridor space. I think this could be tweaked to make it a fabulous space... Just a brief look at your space, you have 3 wardrobes - could you make the middle one a door into the en-suite, allowing you to have a larger rectangle walk in shower opposite the bath. You could have also have drawers / dressing table on the wall as you come into the bedroom. Think about where the door to the master bedroom would be as it would ideally be balanced around the windows in the corridor. Presuming the windows are fixed. Could bedroom 2 have the door where the 5 bedroom layout is allowing more space for your bedroom door? The A/C cupboard - do you need it? Could you make it wider and smaller depth or a wardrobe for yourselves? It's a little difficult without measurements to work it all out... This is an example of the idea I suggested above. (We are towards the end of renovating our place and we changed it from 5 bed to a 4 but added an en-suite into each room. We don't miss the useless little box room!)...See MoreWalkin-wardrobe/en-suite dilemma

Comments (6)It'd be easier to have both bathrooms next to each other for plumbing requirements and it'd be a shame to lose storage space from the walk-in. Maybe the ensuite could be made slightly smaller, but keep the same footprint, so the main bathroom can be a little more spacious. Ensuite only needs to be 1.5m wide and can be laid out as Studio Mood drew earlier. I'd add a pocket door to the Walk-ins as I couldn't sleep with a permanently open door - but that might just be me! And I'd consider changing the opening to the Walk-in for the second bedroom so that the entrance is beside the door too, rather than having to walk all the way around the bed. I can see that would have an impact on the window to the side though, similar to the window in the ensuite bedroom. Would you want to change the windows in the second bedroom to two smaller windows, so the bed could be on the wall facing the door?? Then you don't have to walk around it to get to Walk-in. Appreciate then you wouldn't be facing the balcony doors straight on from the bed, and it might not work for the exterior of the house - but perhaps depends how often you will actually be outside looking up at that side of the house....See More
