size and shape of the new 2nd bedroom and wardrobe

20 days ago

So we decided to go for having a storage / wardrobe space off our main bedroom as we can actually fit a downstairs cloakroom under the stairs (yay) at some point.

that bedroom you see and the clothes storage is just currently one room which was the dining room (if anyone remembers my previous posts).

Our new existing bedroom entrance will be moved to the other side near the current bathroom so that old opening will go into the walk-in wardrobe/storage with a sliding door or bi-fold.

My issue is I don't really know how to split it and where to put this new bedroom's door??

I've left 100cm hallway width from the kitchen end (so top end) so it's not as cramped feeling. But should I have the bedroom entrance on an angle like I've done it or on the back wall?

If it don't angle the wall in that hall then it will be hard getting furtniture in an out so I think it needs an angle regardless of whether I put a door there or not.

Also how deep should the new wardrobe space be? I can put shelves to the left as awkward thin corner and have rails in front. There is a door sized entrance as the wall is solid brick so I cannot open it all out ie you have to be able to walk into it to access it.

thank you

For your new bedroom layout, keeping the entrance angled as shown in the plan is a smart choice. This angled entry helps facilitate easier movement and furniture placement within the corridor space, making it practical without compromising the flow of the room. For the walk-in wardrobe, a depth of around 60-70 cm is typically sufficient for hanging clothes without feeling too cramped, and utilising the left corner for shelving is an efficient use of space. This configuration allows you to maximise storage while maintaining an accessible and organised wardrobe. Installing a sliding door for this wardrobe can save space and enhance the functionality of the room, aligning well with your overall design vision.

Hi Minnie! I was thinking last night about having a huge mirror on the left side of the window if I moved the dressing table under the window (with a small mirror for make-up). When you say M2M - does that mean wall to wall? My only concern would be any light seeping through the window would reflect back to the bed in the morning and be too bright, haha. I would need some serious black out dressings for the window ;) Do you think a wardrobe would be ok there or make the area look even smaller? It seems the best place for it - otherwise it would be an open closet but not very attractive. It looks so much better since we knocked down the built in cupboard under the eaves as that really made it look like an enclosed box Just wish we could afford to move the window as it would have been an amazing build in wardrobe space, sigh.

Hello Laurence, I know you want to put another bedroom but the bottom estate agent layout of your friends place is not ideal at all.. The idea of squeezing a room next to kitchen might seem like a sensible option but to a buyer the plan below in my eyes is not what I would keep... It might be far wiser to offer a large living dining area.. Entertaining is another important factor. Have you considered another option which is to have a double living/dining room with either wooden french doors between or the wall removed, so you create a double room. You have two fireplaces which are gr8! You could block up the first and or second door to the living room and then you could have a galley kitchen all the way down that side wall.... so you have a huge living and dining area.. You could also put in a door to the garden where the window is at the end. Where the hallway is you can continue that down to the end take out the cupboard.. creating an extended hallway with door to right for bathroom where the boiler is.. Create a small shower room here like a wet room. Then next door to right is single room. With the last door (near current kitchen sink) will lead into main bedroom..... Do you need to keep that back staircase? : ))

You could consider a concept planner for this. You would get to explore more than one option before committing. Consider OnePlan. Personally I think that you need to consider several factors: what you need from the house; who is the likely next occupants (professional house sharers and families have different requirements); how much reception space you have and if you need more; if 4 bedrooms are better than 5; what outside space you have and if a roof terrace is needed.

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.
