Layout Dilemma Help needed !!!
Hello there lovely Houzzers, I hope you are all buys doing nothing and soaking up the last of the lazy days over the festive period.
We are finally moving upstairs in our reno quest of this property, and we are debating whether we should turn our five bed three baths, into a four bed four baths one. I would like pros and cons and a look over our plan please.
My initial thought was to split the smallest bedroom and allocate half to family bathroom and half to the fourth bedroom. Pinch the thin sliver of space for a wardrobe accessed from the master bedroom, and create another ensuite to the bedroom over the garage using half of the current bathroom. BUT that black box looks like the doom of death as I am sure it can't be moved. Hope it makes some sense. What are your thoughts? Many thanks :)

Layout dilemma !! Help me please !
Comments (15)If you hit the pro button under One Plans comment you can contact One Plan directly for professional advice. If you read One Plans reviews and various plugs from Houzzers it may well be worth it. Given this was 2 houses it may also help to have some professional help to see if anything could be done to improve the flow and general layout of the house rather than just furnish the rooms. Alternatively if you want an attempt at some amateur help (mrsmcee, am speaking about myself not you!) , I think you will need to draw a plan with exact measurements, ŵall alcoves?, windows, doors, fireplace, room openings, light fittings etc otherwise it's really quite difficult. I attempted to draw a plan for your living room last night but was just guessing at the rooms dimensions being 23ft x37ft but it didn't look that wide in the pic. I also noticed you've had a light installed over the dining table so I assume the table has to go here, and the same for your seating arrangement? The foyer should be quite easy but need pics of where the fireplace is (although could probably guess on that looking at the plan!). Photos of each room from different angles would also really help. What by the way is room E on the plan? I hope that helps!...See Morelounge layout dilemma - we can’t agree, need help.
Comments (6)If you've got a family room I might be tempted to put a tv in there, use the dining room as a snug and have a table and chairs with a small sofa in the living room. Alternatively use the family room as your main living room and the dining room as play room (depending on age of child/ren). The proposed layout doesn't allow for much seating and also blocks the path from the kitchen and seems quite close to the stools. I think just seeing half of the back of the sofa may also look slightly odd?...See MoreHelp please! Bedroom layout dilemma
Comments (3)How wide is the wall to the right as you come in? Would you have space for a chest either side of the bed there? And you might have room at end of the bed for a small chest. That would allow you to build in straight across the wall with the chimney breast. I have seen and done myself with a shallow press or drawers in front of the chimney. You could also hide a TV in there. Hard to imagine the window(s) but have you considered putting the bed on that wall?...See Morecan someone help me layout dilemma

6 years agoYour layout is far from scale, but I suggest living with the bathrooms for now. If it's a large closet you're after, this could be an idea:
(and three bedrooms sharing one bathroom isn't strange at all)

This is what your floorplan looks like when I use the measurements on your drawing. Please correct it where needed (as it's probably not what your house looks like).

The house is not straight at the front which is why those measurements look adrift.

Perhaps the 'least damage' to the original structure of the house (and convenient plumbing), would be to create a bathroom right next to the current one. Does your garage have a pitched roof with eaves? This would make bathroom placement a bit more challenging..
I've also enlarged the bottom left bedroom, the 'study' next to it is about 90cms narrower. This leaves you three equal bedrooms and a master.

Thank you so much Rinq, I totally agree, the easiest and cheapest solution would be to pinch a bit of room from the larger over the garage bedroom and fit an en suite there like Jonathan suggested. I think one the same width of ours in the master would be more than enough, noticed you made it quite a bit bigger :) .
I also think that I am going to add an extra window to the funny shaped bedroom at the back to make it brighter in there and fit a king size bed by the window creating one of those alcove beds either built in or find a nice four poster and paint it the same colour as the walls to visually disappear but give a bit of drama for visiting guests and a little giggle as they climb in and out :)
Thank you both, I am so glad I posted as I feel I have a clearer idea now.
