Struggling with floorplan
last month
I’ve had some plans drawn up and I’m not overly keen on the corridor to the master, or the large bedroom at the front not being the master. It just feels a bit odd. But the more I mess with it, the more I can see why it’s been done like that!
I’ve had an architect draw up another plan which includes extending 1m further out the back from the bathroom across the extension to the right) and adding a second en-suite. I’ve then drawn a 3rd set moving the en-suites so that the one placed at the front of the house isn’t overlooking the main road.
Can anyone please help improve these? Talk sense into me? Add any ideas I haven’t been able to come up with? I’m just really struggling!
Thanks in advance!

Changing floor plan???
Comments (3)I think your idea of moving the shower room is spot on. Move it to where the utility room is and then open the entire back area and make a large kitchen dining area. You could open the entire wall with glass doors leading to the garden. As to the first floor, You can turn the small bedroom 4 into an en-suite and connect it to the large bedroom 1, as long as there is headroom for that (does bedroom 1 have a pitched roof? its hard to know without pictures). You can make a long and narrow (120cm wide) walk in closet at the back of bedroom 1, the door to the en-suit will be through the walk-in.

Comments (7)You are in the enviable position of having the whole space designed to suit you and your lifestyle ! And the bonus is the windows and doors can be put where needed ! Every designers dream project !! If you want to ‘do this yourself’, feel free to look at some of our uploaded past projects to maybe give you some ideas - alternatively why not consider booking yourself in for a design consultation - either with someone like us - who DON’T sell anything other than design, but that means you can shop around and compare like for like with the plan that was designed specifically for you - or book with someone who will design for free - but make money on what ever they sell you. Although they don’t usually let you keep the design - so less easy to compare like for like with other shops. Either way -it’s an opportunity to get something amazing that will work for you !! Enjoy it !...See MoreFloor plan hell.....I mean help!
Comments (7)Firstly I think you may find the help of a Concept Planner really useful as the space has to 'work' for you. Secondly, without the all the dimensions marked accurately on the plan, it's not possible to have anything other than an educated 'idea'. The door in to the room isn't marked and you need the dimensions of the fire recesses etc, just all dimensions really. The room when you draw it out appears a lot more square than you have it, after all, it's only 1.4 meters longer than it is wide. So, planning it out properly is really important. Having said that..................I'm not overly keen on either plan. I think you would be best with the kitchen / diner towards the wider open plan area nearest the windows, and the kids zone - play / relax / storage area nearest the fireplace in the more odd shape. Odd shapes are better for storage and I think the fireplace looks better in the loungey area than in the kitchen. Zoning is essential, thus on this plan, you can see from the kitchen everything that's going on. The kids are on the bottom of the plan, with a lounge / play and all important storage area. Then, cooking and eating at the top. The use of the small island and the return will help keep the kids away from the cooking. So, dimensions, entry door etc needed for a final tweak!...See MoreNeed help making this floorplan work for my family needs
Comments (5)Hi Onika, Inevitably this will require a few external modifications to the house. You can have direct access from the reception room to the back garden, by installing new doors. Connecting the kitchen with this reception room will involve works to the structure. It's obvious to me that the reception room facing the street will become the study room, unless you want it to be facing garden. The utility room in the middle is not a perfect space as it's there to mainly connect the kitchen with the fourth bedroom. This can be changed with a small extension towards the garden. If the garden is big enough, you can always build an outbuilding that could serve multiple purposes from study room to utility etc. For a small fee we could develop the best layout for your study. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. Thanks. Andrei Kay Moden...See More- last month
