master bedroom renovation

3 years ago

Hi there
Hope you are all keeping safe. Lockdown usually leads me to start redecorating or renovating one room or another and I’ve finally gotten to our master bedroom. It’s very big which isnt a problem but I find one half of the room is a waste of space. My walk in closet is small and dark. I was hoping you all could give me some ideas or let me know if what I’m thinking would be a good use of space.
I’m attaching some pics of our room as it is now and also a rough sketch of the measurements of the room. Iv used green for what id like to do. The current walk in closet I would remove and add it to the bathroom and make a separate shower room and toilet. Please let me know what you think

That’s a great size space and lovely to have those doors to the garden area.

Despite you appear to reside in warmer climates, the room looks ‘cold’, but that’s probably because it’s just unfinished.

Other people here are much cleverer than myself with layouts, but I don’t think your drawing makes clear what you want to achieve.

Maybe you can provide one that shows your suggested ideas more clearly.

Thank you for your response. Sorry the green lines are where I would like to build walls to make the room more practical. The area near the windows will remain the bedroom part of the room and the new enclosed space will be a new bigger walk in closet. I thought dividing the room would be better than having a massive space with one side not being used. (The couches are only there to take up space)

I would say, it's do'able, but does it work? In my opinion no. The width of the room is 3.5m. A kingsize bed is roughly 1.75m wide. That will leave you with 87cm walk space either side of the bed if you put up a false wall. Not only does it conflict with the window position because you need the depth for the wardrobe plus around 1m crouch space at the rear of the wall, plus the depth of the wall, but it means that you can't have bedside tables either, because it's not wide enough. If you wanted to add bedside tables........and my own personal view is that it looks funny without them..........then you need 1.75 for the bed, plus 1m ( for two cabinets ), that's 2.75m, that only leaves you with 37cm to walk either side of the wall to get to either the bathroom or the wardrobes. The wall could only be the same width as the bed and I just think it looks weird. If you look at the length of the room and how it will be reduced, I also think it affects that too much also. The wardrobes depth will be on average 60mc, plus 10cm for the wall and 1 metre of crouch space.........total 1.75 plus the length of the bed the other side of the wall, 200-220cm - Total could be 3.95m leaving 55-75cm at the foot of the bed to walk. You could argue that the 75cm is plenty, that's true enough, but do you want to open the door and be met with the foor of the bed right in front of you? I guessed the size of the bathroom for the interim until you measure. I'd go for something like Karen at OnePlan has suggested and don't change the bedroom, or if you want to have the shower and the bath, something like this:-I put in a wall between the walk in shower and the vanity. Put in a double vanity with two sinks, a free standing bath and the toilet. I think any more and you're trying to pack too much in and making things look crowded.

Hi Jonathan Thanks for your idea, yes in fact that is what we were initially thinking of doing. But now we are thinking if we shouldn't do a walk in wardrobe at all, so that we open up the space more.

Fabulous room! I must say I’m finding the drawing difficult to see as it is so faded/pale. May I suggest you use a darker pen so it shows up better? I think then you will get quite a few answers.

I would probably have the bed facing the garden and put in a wall as shown. The room is long enough to have wardrobes both behind the bed wall and against the ensuite wall. i think if you do it this way you won’t reduce the bed space as much. Obviously the closet area will still be dark so would just need to be careful with artificial lighting.

personally I wouldn’t add an extra toilet, just make the ensuite bigger with a really big walk in shower
