Layout Comments Please

2 years ago

We have an awkward space in which we need to fit a family bathroom and hallway (leading to master and 4th bedroom). In the bathroom we do need to fit the original cast iron slipper bath and also a large shower/wet room area. We are looking at how best to divide the space to maximize bathroom and hallway areas, as the "entrance/opening" to this area is relatively narrow. The stud walls are not yet put up so we have some flexibility on positions and doorway etc to make sure we get it right.

Would appreciate comments if you feel we've got it right or any smarter ideas?

That is a large landing (hallway), so you could make the bathroom about 1 metre wider by looks of it. And, any reason the door to bedroom 1 opens outwards? I think it would be better to open inwards.

Thanks Sarah - The bathroom could go over a fair amount but it to keep access to the main bedroom through the arch we'd need a second "step out" in the wall, which we wondered if it would look a bit odd? Yes the bedroom 1 door opens inwards - no idea why it shows that way!

yes the door will open inwards.

We will have upper wall cabinets, just cant add them with the software I am using. Looking at the last photo you posted Celerygirl, we might actually have our seating under the Velux windows (another thing i cant add with software) of the extension as it would be nice to sit under some light. Like this but with a different table, perhaps banquet seat against the wall

Thanks everyone. I think we are going to extend the hallway into the utility as this is the cheapest option and the utility needs doing anyway. We are going to remove some of the cupboards, so that the pushchair can go in the space created and move the sofa to block the playroom door... then we can test it out for a few weeks. I've reorganised the kitchen cupboards, moved the microwave and the plates etc and its made a big difference already to how the kitchen feels. Feeling positive :)

I think plan2 looks/works best but i'd suggest a few changes. For the tower run, having only a 20mm filler is to tight and doors open more than 90 degrees so they'll be rubbing at the freezer end, i'd suggest changing the 600 and 800 larders to a 1200 breakfast style larder, having drawers and worktop inside, shelved above and power for toaster etc, the doors can be pocket style so they open then slide down the sides out of the way when in use, make the wall nib a bit wider by about 100mm so you have 50-70mm fillers at each end, probably bring the towers forward (or make them extra deep) and this would allow for the pocket doors to slide away more. Depending on ceiling height you could have extra tall towers or top boxes on top and then infill about 50-100mm up to the ceiling. Also check the height of the appliances as in the pics it looks to high, i'd have a 450 frontal with pan drawer and internal drawer instead. On the opposite wall as long as all the 800 drawer units end past the window is good, window sill same as worktop possibly, (either end the run before or after the window) lose the 400 open unit in front of the wall nib and have a door (door could be made to look like 2 drawer fronts to match) on this as it will be just a dust trap, in the 1000 drawer units i'd suggest having internal drawers for utensils etc, the corner unit is good especially with the fly moon pull out as they're great (in my opinion) and as the corner post is made on site its gives the fitter more flexibility in positioning the units as its not a fixed corner. The sink run is fine but i wouldn't suggest opening a d/washer door to let the steam out as it can damage the surrounding doors, cabinets, decor panels and even worktops (thread on mumsnet where steam has damaged granite worktops). For the island if a 500 bin is big enough then fine but you might find a 600 pull out is better as its usually a 4 bin unit, possibly change the 1000 1+2 so its a 2 pan with internal drawer and then on the other side i'd have 2x 800 which would look more symetrical. For wall units its up to you, but if its an electric hob (especially induction) the extractor should be wider than the hob and if this area is going to be a main prep area than having wall units you can add extra lighting.

If you can't move the front door, I wouldn't look to add a hallway as that room will become 1.7ish wide and not much more than a narrow single/office. If you can move the door, I'd go in on the side. Create the 3rd bed from the reception room and make the conservatory a solid brick building that is kitchen/diner/lounge. I'd be wary of the drains/plumbing. I'd guess they're somewhere along the back wall and will be very expensive to move if you want to extend left of the current conservatory.

So you need more space at the top of the stairs? You could shorten the main bathroom wall, and use the recess next to the door for a shower.
