Help needed to redesign master bedroom, en- suite and dressing room

3 years ago

We would really appreciate any advice on changing the lay-out of our first floor rooms. Plan One is the current lay-out.

The corridor to the bedroom it dark and currently has mirrored wardrobes along it for the main bedroom.

The main bedroom had a stud wall across it with an arch ( we have already removed it) which made a small dressing area not big enough for wardrobes near the en-suite.

The best views are from the en-suite and the other window on that wall.

The small bedroom on the left is not part of the redesign.

Plan two is what we are thinking of doing with the bedroom and en-suite moved to different locations.

We thought we would create an en-suite at the front of the house as the window looks into the neightbours garage wall.

Remove the stud wall to get rid of the corridor and put a door off the landing into the old en-suite creating a bedroom.

Block up the door from the corridor that currently leads into the bedroom.

We have not given much thought as it where the suite would go in the bathroom but something along the lines of what is on the plan.

We would be grateful for any advice, thoughts or ideas as we haven't had any professional advice so far.

Moving a wc to the other side of the house is difficult as you have to have a waste pipe. Consider instead just moving the bath out of the ensuite to get a better ensuite. You could always put the bath in the dressing area or bedroom

Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for your advice we really like your design but because the corridor is dark and has a cupboard behind mirrored doors we were trying to incorporate the area into usable space. There is also a step back starting at the stairs and going into the corridor which as the second wall is not level with the first we thought would make it difficult to be able to fit a door.

I have tried to draw the corridor in greater detail below.

Thank you again for your help.

Hi All - taking on board your comments I have come up with three variations. Of course would love your comments! The distance from vanity to WC in plan 1 is approx 60cm - it could be made a bit more. This falls within the guideline you posted (23inches). More space could be created by making the shower a bit narrower (shown on all 3 plans as 1m wide (39 inches). I don't think there is quite enough space to divide the room and the problem with the idea of the bath right in the middle is that on a practical basis we would have to walk around it on a daily basis to get to the shower! Could quickly get very annoying!

Basic design packages don’t allow you to draw in sloped ceilings. So I think you need to enlist a designer or concept planner who can create the room in CAD and help you visualise the space including the ceilings. Try a search on Houzz for professionals. OnePlan is a regular contributor, you can look on her profile to see her past projects, and a quick message to her will start a conversation about different levels of service.

It really comes down to how many clothes you have and how much space you need to store them, along with where you prefer to get dressed and how you use your ensuite - obviously no point having double sink if you never share the bathroom, but if you're brushing your teeth while the other half is doing their thing in the next sink then this bigger ensuite might work better for you. It all depends on how you want to live, how much stuff you have and where you want to store it. I've created a checklist that helps with a lot of the foundational decision making that you need to make when you're planning a redesign project, so you might find this useful. You can get it plus a few guidance emails here: https://bit.ly/2P1quQ6 Hope this helps, Jane, i-architect.co.uk

Hello Kitty, Although you have a uniquely shaped room, I have a couple of layout ideas to answer your brief and enhance your space beyond a bed and dresser. I offer a very popular space planning service showing the ideal furniture arrangement in a space, in 3D, from the point of view of an interior designer. Everything is to scale; you'll get a clear idea of what sizes and positions of furniture you need to get as well as any new zones' dimensions, should you choose to alter the interior architecture. I'd like to invite you to look at an example shown on my services page: www.londonfatcat.com/services I wish you all the best with your refresh! Warm regards, Faten

Hi Emily, here are some pictures

This is the corridor, we have tried to show the step back between the two walls, there is 877mm behind the mirrored doors.

This is the end of the bedroom we proposed moving the bathroom to

This end is where we thought the dressing area could go, blocking the first door from the corridor. We have taken down the stud wall that used to divide the room.

En-suite which we proposed combining with corridor to make bedroom with door from landing at far end of en-suite.

Any ideas would be gratefully received as we are going round in circles with our ideas.

Thanks Amanda
