Help! I can't make our en suite work
We're currently in the process of planning a first floor side extension to our property. We originally planned to add an ensuite to the master bedroom - but we can't find a way to connect the en suite and master bedroom that still leaves enough room/wall space for a king size bed + bedside tables and a triple/quadruple wardrobe to house mine and my husband's clothes.
I've attached the two options we've looked at so far, using different bedrooms to convert into master + en suite. We can't knock through the wall as originally scoped in option 2, because it's a supporting wall for the house so would be prohibitively expensive to do.
Is there something I'm not seeing?! Or should we just abandon plans for an en suite.... and if we do, how do we best use the space?!

2 years agoDon't know if this would work for you, as you've tried bedroom 1 & 2 what about using bedroom 3 and the extension as the entirely new bedroom and en-suite with a stylish walk in wardrobe to get to the en-suite?
The master bedroom would be narrower but with a bed at the window end and plush seating at the other either side of the walk in door it could look really nice and save a lot of messy building work in the original house.
Either that or if you skip the en-suite and use say bedroom 1 just repurpose the space left for a walk in wardrobe.

Furniture Arrangement - can't seem to make our new space work
Comments (5)I would at least swap the dining area for the sitting area. Your new views to the garden will be appreciated more often than only at mealtimes. I agree with Kemi but keep the layout open ie don't have the back of your L sofa to the kitchen. You might also fit your woodburner in the wee corner next to the bi-fold doors. I don't know if you can open up the wall between the kitchen and (your planned) sitting room ( the wall adj the hall)....See MoreHelp with small en suite bathroom layout
