En-suite - Walk in wardrobe design dilemma
We are building a 4metre extension on the back of our house. We have asked our architect to design a master suite which will essentially entail the whole first floor of the extension. He has come back with what I think is a very basic and boring design and I was hoping for some inspiration for something a little more innovative and exciting. The internal width of bedroom suite is 7.7m, there is a small balcony which brings the bedroom portion to a tight 2.65 in depth which will just fit the bed with a walk space so that is fine. The bed has to be in that position but the rest of the space is up for grabs to utilise for the walk in wardrobe and en-suite. We were hoping for a double vanity and two walls or one longer wall of closet space but that is really the only essentials.

Comments (13)Just a comment on the dressing room - looks like there is only 70cm between your two rows of wardrobes. That works if you have sliding doors with only hanging or shelves inside but it’s going to feel very cramped. It also doesn’t work very well if you want drawers, as there isn‘t space to pull out a 60cm drawer and stand behind it . Could I suggest you consider making one side shallow depth (35cm deep works for shoes, bags, accessories, underwear, t shirts, trousers) to give more of a feeling of space in there....See MoreLuxurious en-suite bathroom OR Walk in wardrobe and small en-suite.
Comments (7)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.

Comments (10)Definitely wardrobes first. Future value isn’t everything but I think some buyers would be put off by losing access to clothes when en suite is in use. The other option- could you create a small corridor at the end of the room so have a door into each? In theory you lose space in the dressing area but might gain by being able to use the longer wall runs for wardrobes rather than walking through the middle of them....See MoreK P

3 years agoCould you conceal the ensuite entrance with wardrobes (still losing the balcony)? Then as Andrew said just have the wardrobes inside the bathroom rather than split it. My brother has fitted wardrobes in one of his bathrooms, as long as you have a decent extractor and ventilation he’s had no bother with his clothes
