Extend en-suite into hallway?

last month

En-suite/Hallway decisions


I am having trouble working out what to do with my en-suite. Attached is an annotated floor plan with my idea, a picture of my existing hallway, and an AI generated picture of what the hallway would look like.


The main problem I have with the current en-suite is that it is too small to put a towel rail. Additionally, it is irritating that the door opens on to the toilet - though that’s a minor irritation.


My thinking is that I will eat into my large hallway, but I am having a hard time accepting this - although the hallway isn’t ’lived in’, it gives a lovely spacious feel.


Next door have done something similar, though they have extended the en-suite the full length of the hallway (i.e. such that the extended wall runs parallel with the bedroom wall, and the en-suite and bedroom are the same length. It makes sense, but I felt it made the hallway feel a little too narrow and also the en-suite was longer than it needed to be (in my view).


So I am thinking my idea would be a good compromise and I’m interested to hear thoughts of this forum.
