I need help - master en-suite
I have tried and all the options just don’t feel right.
We have a long and thin master and don’t judge us but between the two of us, we need about 6m of wardrobe space. If we had an open space, how would you lay it out?
Options I’ve considered include
en-suite at the end accessed via walk in wardrobe area with partitions separating both. This feels most claustrophobic
en-suite at the end with partition but open dressing area. This would let in the most light as we avoid having two solid partitions
wardrobes running alongside one wall with shower and bath in opposite wall - this maximises dual aspect but I can’t think of how to make it look nice.
Help please
I just don’t want feel hedged in in the master or feel like we’ve lost the benefit of light from the dual aspect windows. This room has bothered me and I can’t seem to crack it to my satisfaction.
The room is 8600 by 3200.

Need help with my en- suite loft shower room
Comments (4)It sounds as if there is movement in the floor. Did the Building Inspector inspect the building work and issue a Completion Certificate for the work? If not there may be structural problems that you should sort out first. The joists could be undersized so the floor is deflecting. I recommend getting in a structural engineer to check this. If there is a problem they will advise what needs to be done. Worth spending a few hundred pounds on this. Rigid floor tiles need a firm stable base which is more difficult to achieve on a timber floor structure. They do not usually work if just laid over a typical chipboard floor. I would recommend employing an experienced bathroom designer who should be able to come up with a design you like and includes the storage you need. They are likely to know tradesman who have carried out successful installations. This may cost more but will dramatically reduce the risk of problems....See MoreNeed help planning a Dressing room replacing En-suite shower room

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 (4)Hi Emily, here are some pictures This is the corridor, we have tried to show the step back between the two walls, there is 877mm behind the mirrored doors. This is the end of the bedroom we proposed moving the bathroom to This end is where we thought the dressing area could go, blocking the first door from the corridor. We have taken down the stud wall that used to divide the room. En-suite which we proposed combining with corridor to make bedroom with door from landing at far end of en-suite. Any ideas would be gratefully received as we are going round in circles with our ideas. Thanks Amanda...See More- 2 years ago
Personally I think that the room has to work so hard that you have to compromise seizing both windows. But you could add lights inside the wardrobes and add a skylight above the wardrobe area for additional light.

Thanks. I’ve done a lot of decluttering already and continue to do so. The issue is all the “traditional stuff” and long dresses I need to keep for ceremonies all year round.
I like the option that Jonathan has given as it - and I’ll try that out as well in my app. Here is what I was able to come up with last night.
@Jonathan - I’ll play with your option as well as see if that works better to maximise space.
