Help with bedroom, walk in wardrobe and ensuite
Hi, I would love some advice on the layout of our master bedroom please.
Originally this was two rooms and we've had the wall taken down and steels put in to make one room. You can see a nib on one of the walls, which causes problems trying put furniture etc there.
The main issue we have is the 3 windows in the room, as there's nowhere to put wardrobes so we are thinking about adding a dressing room and ensuite. This will mean putting internal walls back up and this is where we need advice.....
We have plumbing and water feeds in the corner of the room (the corner where there's no windows!). Ideally we'd like a separate ensuite and walk in wardrobe, but we think the only option (given the space and windows) would be to have a combined room???
I've incuded two photos - one shows the room as it currently is and the second is the ideas we've thought about (toilet is missing but would be next to double vanity). Again my preference would be to separate but just can't see how we can do this.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Adding en-suite and walk in wardrobe to bedroom
Comments (2)We did both and I agree with the other comment-keep the en suite above a bathroom if possible as it's a nightmare to reorder pipes etc otherwise. For fitted wardrobes, we (personally) found the usual companies absolutely useful and incredibly expensive. We had an idea of what we wanted and went for a private joiner-he undercut by half so it totalled £2700 for the wardrobes (built in under attic hanging space, full length wardrobe, 2 oddly shaped cupboards, 2 waist height cupboards, chest of drawers with seat & bedside tables.). Had been quoted 8K by one well known company! Good luck!x...See MoreLarge empty space in bed 2! Has walk-in robe, en-suite, dressing table
Comments (5)If there's a nice view it'd be perfect for a little sitting/lounge area. For the sloping ceiling, custom made roll-out cabinets if you have space to roll in that direction. Perfect for storing those extra bedsheets and blankets with a bookshelf on the side....See MoreEnsuite versus walk in wardrobe
Comments (7)Depends on how you occupy the space. It always amazes me that people use a tiny ensuite and the only time the big family bathroom gets used is twice a year when guests stay. Of course if you have a house full of people more bathrooms might be useful but if it is just two of you I say spread out into more of your house and have smaller facilities for the occasional guest visit. Enjoy your walk in wardrobe and use the better bathroom....See MoreBedroom space or en-suite?
Comments (1)Depends what they want the third bedroom for. If an office space 2 singles may be fine. If a guest room would a single work? Could they knock the 2 bedrooms together to make 2 decent doubles?...See More

Could put a skylight in the bathroom? If so, you could split the rooms like shown below. This gives you are 1.2m wide for the en-suite (which is small, but is completely 'acceptable' for an en-suite.) You can fit a good size vanity in there.
I've mocked a quick plan. Ensuites don't have to have windows/skylights but for most, natural light and air is a must-have.
The black boxes on the floor plans are wardrobes around 2m long with drawers opposite in the first plan.
You would have a few options with the doors, if you don't want a 'walk-through ensuite, you gain more storage in the dressing area.
You can also place the bed under the window which will make the room feel larger with nice curtains so the window doesn't seem as large.

I know you'd like a separate dressing room, but an alternative option could be to create a dressing area with the wardrobes hiding the nib. You could fit a bath in, or a good size shower with space for a cupboard?
Bringing the wardrobes off the wall will disguise the nib.
If you go for the wardobes in the bathroom, then I would probably put a bigger rectangular shower and build a stud wall that the wardobes would sit against so you still have space to get in the shower. Bigger is always better when it comes to showers.

3 years agoHiya,
You probably want to prioritise either a walk-in wardrobe or an en-suite in terms of space. Personally I'd prefer a nice sized en-suite as you'd likely end up getting ready in there anyway!I also wouldn't risk putting a wardrobe in with the en-suite due to condensation/moisture.
Here's my suggestion below. Build a stud wall and a built -in wardrobe maybe with mirrored/glass sliding doors and a fully glazed door leading to the en-suite. Whatever you decide to do, invest in a good quality extractor fan. :-)
