Design layout help with a 11' 6" x 11'11" laundry/mudroom/bath
Comments (4)Your laundry/mud/bath is a similar layout to what I have, except I have a tub/shower in that bath. A laundry setup like that doesn't leave you much storage, or room for ironing, folding, or hanging, so keep that in mind. I have to do my ironing in my bedroom. I also don't have a utility sink, to make room for extra cabinets. While a utility sink would be great, I do have a kitchen and bathroom sink close enough that it's not a big deal. And the way the rest of that floor is played out, it puts that bath really far from your guest entrance, office, living room and dining room. You mentioned a downside being that guests will walk through the mudroom, but remember that they will also have to go through your kitchen to get to the bathroom. I'm not sure I'd like that. BTW, you might as well forget about the door between the kitchen a mud room, as it will almost always be open. We changed ours to a cased opening instead of an actual door. I'd have preferred to go with a pocket door, just in case we wanted to be able to close it off for some odd reason, but we didn't want to have to tear into the wall to do it....See MoreTrying to design bath/laundry/mudroom combo
Comments (2)A scale drawing would be helpful. Include all the features like Windows, doors, plumbing. This can be a hand drawing on graph paper. Take a picture of it and post it....See MoreHelp with Drop zone design in combo mudroom/laundry room
Comments (20)I did not do the final designs you see. I used PAINT, but then my cabinet designer drew what you see above. The shelves in my study sit on top of an air return box (the grill is facing in the hall behind the study wall. I added a photo of that. Grill outlines in white.) Since there was this large hump sticking out in the study, I decided that the space above could be put to good use. I did a similar thing in the back of our house. Air return in hallway. Bump out was in my closet. I built shelves about it for pocketbooks. You could build a cabinet with doors above your air return....See MoreKitchen, Mudroom and Laundry Design - Thoughts, please
Comments (28)- The footprint question for me was regarding the "notches" (behind garage, front porch), it seems pushing/pulling here and there as needed would not affect the overriding property setback. - The kitchen island cabinet sizes, was just confirming that wasn't a 2nd DW to the left. Though 24" pullout is wide for a small kitchen, you can go skinnier for a 2-bin trash pullout. The minimal uppers was noting as your dish storage will want to be base drawers next to the stove. - "Chases" are just vertical spaces for larger mech/plumbing to pass. Usually the drawing convention is an 'X.' The fireplace 'chase' looked extremely large, but that may be the differing scales playing tricks on my mind. - Be cognizant of what both stairs are doing in the garage. One for clearance next to car if turned with landing. The other the ceiling height dropped down, as that could be 3' to 4' down from the ceiling plane. I agree garages should always have a man door, just be aware of circulation, and how that works around workbenches/shelving, and a long vehicle (trucks are 19' long, mid-size SUV 17'ish). - If the 2nd story is only over the garage, then the roof continuing over the "breezeway" section needs to account for the stair headroom height. - The porch may be better to have all one elevation, so put the stairs outside the porch, worked into the planter design. - The Dining Room circulation required reduces your available table area by quite a bit. You may not be able to fit a 6 person table if that is a req'mt....See Morecupofkindnessgw
