Master suite layout ideas

2 years ago

We've just moved into a new house and want to knock through from our bedroom to the adjoining room (slightly higher up) to create a luxurious master suite. We would have to add some steps and close off the existing door. The proposed layout is below.

I'm struggling to work it out. Do we just add an en-suite (including a bath and shower) and build wardrobes either side of the chimney breast in our bedroom? Or is the adjoining room big enough to split into a walk-in wardrobe and smaller en-suite with just a shower and a toilet Would our bedroom be too big/empty without wardrobes? The windows are both south-facing and not overlooked. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi there,

I would suggest a en-suite and wardrobes either side of the chimney and have the bed in the centre.

Thank you. We currently have our bed against the wall opposite the chimney breast (where the door is). We have a super-king bed and the chimney breast is only 1m70 wide (with alcoves of around 1m90 on each side). I did think about widening the chimney breast but I always think this is awkward with bedside tables etc.

Layout of master suite - bedroom/ ensuite/ walk in wardrobe

I like Jonathon’s first drawing for a couple of reasons. You can have a walk in wardrobe for all the hanging clothes, which can end up looking a bit messy, and have the more traditional type of wardrobe for items that can be boxed up, such as handbags and shoes, and folded clothes / drawer items. I think a walk in wardrobe is better without a window as natural light can fade clothes, so much better to have a bright bathroom with 2 windows. Finally, as you’re building the internal walls from scratch you could look into having a pocket door system into the en suite thereby preventing a swinging door getting in the way of either the wardrobe or the shower.

You might be able to do something like the first pic? It might just work with the entrance door position? What is the exact measurement to the line? I don't think the room is wide enough for something like the 2nd option. I also like Jonathan's idea though which gives a lot of storage

The attic internal walls are not built so can be arranged in any position. The windows can also be moved. Here is the first floor layout.

Interesting, I hadn’t considered the 2 spaces that way round. Suffering from looking at the drawings for too long I think!

I think 3.8m is too big a space to be wasted on just an ensuite bathroom and you should try to create wardrobe space in that area too.

Do consider the value of your house will possibly drop with it having one less bedroom if you were to sell.

This could be completely mad and not work but it might be food for thought 😊 how about if you had shallow steps the full length of that smaller room and then had your big bed in that space? You could then utilise the existing master into en-suite, wardrobes and maybe a dressing area? Not sure what the space is like but a roll top bath under the window would be a wow moment

Wow! That’s something neither of us considered at all. What an interesting idea… Thank you Faye.
