Layout alteration advice please
We currently have a large bathroom, which we are hoping to split into a smaller bathroom and a playroom. Below is plan of bathroom as is now and a draft plan of what we had in mind - but wondered if anyone had any other ideas and advice on if and how we could fit this in. The door off current bathroom is to hallway and double doors on draft plan go thro to kitchen living room, we would like access from both sides, but is it a waste of space having hallway bit? Also on bathoom - would really like a shower and bath in there, any whizz ideas how we could fit this in? Sorry for long post and lots of questions!!

Jack and Jill layout, advice please
Comments (16)I think that Emily has made lots of good points & I'd totally agree about changing the direction of the doors - that way is traditional so as to afford more privacy for the bedroom, but the other direction gives much easier access to the room and better flow. Personally, I'd change the direction of all the bedroom doors and also the existing bathroom door. Secondly, I don't think that the layout you uploaded is really a J&J bathroom, is it? Currently it's designed that there's access to that bathroom from the landing, and not from either bedrooms 3 & 4, which means no necessity for locks that activate 2 doors. This may actually be a good thing though as bedroom 2, for instance, could also access it if the main bathroom was occupied. So, I would think that you need to decide if you want/need a second ensuite bedroom and if so give that bathroom to just one of those bedrooms (or consider the alternative layout that Jonathan suggested). Or, as previously suggested, just switch the sink & door of that bathroom, which would give a better layout in that bathroom - if you leave the shower & toilet where they are - & also mean that you could take that end piece of landing for bedroom 4. Lastly, 785 seems a bit tight for the landing - would you consider stealing a bit of the master bedroom to make it wider? Best of luck with it!...See MoreBathroom layout advice please!
Comments (7)I think as long as the wc boxing is the same height as the hall height tiles it will all blend and look quite clean. found this pic on pinterest, I know it’s full height tiles and all same tiles but might help visualise how the boxing will look next to shower there’s a free 3d design app i used when doing my bathroom called visoft smart, you can put in all different boxings and different sections of tiles etc, would highly recommend if you’re handy with design programmes, if not let me know and if i get time this evening or over the weekend i’ll do a quick mock-up of your shower/toilet area for you...See MoreNeed some advice on utility / WC layout please
Comments (17)Can the loo go under the boiler, still against the outside wall? If so then build a long bench on the stud wall, pop washer and dryer under and place a decent size sink in the middle - for both handwashing after loo and for stuff like filling the mop bucket. I'd put a hanging rail above this for air drying. Change the door opening as suggested and add kalax type shelves (40 cm deep) just inside the door, a box for each person's clean laundry....See MoreBathroom layout advice please!
Comments (1)If this will be a well used bathroom then you should visit a bathroom showroom and look at the size of shower baths and vanity units- when you know what you want in there you may conclude that you want to reduce the back bedroom size and make the bathroom a little larger...See MoreAnon 121

4 years agoIf this is your family bathroom, downsizing it to what you've posted, would be a bad idea. Besides, a bath and a separate shower wouldn't fit in. So here's a suggestion:
About 200cm wide bathroom. Large shower (120x100 or so). Loo with a bit of wall next to it. Two bowl sinks (round or square), plenty of storage space underneath.
No fancy playroom for the kids, but a really large 'closet' with bifold doors, kept open while the kids are playing and hiding their toys when closed.

4 years agoThanks for all the ideas/advice and comments.
Floorplan of house, plus 1 bedroom upatairs. We feel the lounge and dining room (currently playroom for us) are rather cut off so plannng some internal alteration. study is currently dining room for us. Plan A would be to combine lounge playroom and dining room into a lounge/dining/games room (open plan) and remove wall to make it open onto hall. And have door we can shut off the two bedroom down by lounge as they are spare rooms. It is with this plan we are trying to achieve fitting bathoom and playroom into current bathroom space. But with so much space it seems crazy to be squashing it in, so would be v glad of any comments/ideas anyone may have.Plan B was to swap lounge with Master Bedroom, dining room would become bedroom 2 and knock current bathroom and bedroom two together and thro to kitchen to make open plan kitchen diner and then study on plan would become playroom and bathroom. but this is a lot more work and expense and may not achieve what we want exactly - no games room and still not much space for main bathroom.
if this makes anu sense at all!! 😉😒
Thanks in advance.

4 years agoWould something like this work? You could make a large U shaped living area which would accomdate your social space. Turn the whole existing bathroom into a playroom and 2nd seating comfy seating area. And then steal some space from the current study/dining room for a small bathroom and shower room. You could put double doors into the hall from the large u shaped area which would have a good flow from the kitchen to your social entertaining space. Just another idea

4 years agoOr use a bit of the hall and steal a bit from the lounge to make a bathroom. then those 2 bedrooms could still stay a really good size. And also this way you could take the plumbing from the little ensuite i have removed. This plumbing could also be used to serve a bar area if u wanted that in your social space. Just a few more ideas to throw in there.

4 years agoIt took a while, but here's my idea: Kitchen-dining, kids bathroom near their bedrooms, separate wc. Lounge closer to kitchen. Moved entry door and slimmed down hallway to create extra spare room (study). Family/games/play room near kids beds, perhaps add a lounge doorway?
Moving all the bedrooms to the left might be great too, but that would mean all new bathrooms..
