What do you think of my master suite layout??
Comments (21)Perhaps if you think about view and light it might help you decide. Then you need to think about how you want to live in the space. Does the sitting area need to be closed off at all? How long will you spend in the office each day? If the office is used a lot and for long periods of time, then I would give it a lot more space. I'd like to see the whole south wall as the master bedroom with incorporated sitting area. Then you'd get morning and afternoon light both. I keep wanting to put the closet in the office space... For me, I'm not a fan of very large master baths as we like a warm bathroom after taking a shower and big rooms are hard to heat up that way...but again, that's how we live. You need to think more about how you live.....the layout of the space should serve your needs and that's very personal....See MoreHelp with Master Suite Over Attached 1 Car Garage Addition
Comments (11)Essentially, you'll have a box of 15x20, right? The bedroom is one is of the 15x part (maybe 15 by 13); and the closet and bath are the other end of the 15x (say 15x7 divided between the 2 spaces). If you do a walk in closet, you don't want it any narrower than 6 feet, but 7 is better (clothes take up 2 feet of space on either side, and you need to be able to walk in.) A lot of times, a reach in closet gives you more hanging room, esp if your closet will be shallow. A 13 foot wide room is wide enough for a king bed with small night stands on either side and nothing else. If you turn the bed on the 15' wall, there is more room to either side, but less at the foot of the bed. (a bed is usually around 7 feet long, so if it is on the short wall, you have lots of room at the foot of the bed.) The best thing to do is draw out your box on graph paper, cut out a few furniture graph papers and arrange them a few ways to see what looks like it will work best for you. Glad you will be using a contractor. Also, as you get bids from contractors, you will learn what can and can't be done (the tie-in to plumbing for the bath will be the trickiest/most expensive part)....See MorePlanning a master bathroom reno
Comments (6)No, the next owners couldn't install a tub there with the shower squared off. The angled door that you presently have is what permits access to the shower with a tub placed there. If you want the bigger shower, go for it, and don’t look back. Take over some of the vanity space too to increase the dimension that way. A 60” single sink vanity is fine. Then use the drain where the tub was to put another vanity and more built-in storage on that wall. Maybe do all as floating sinks, one at 30” and one at 36”. Put in blocking for grab bars and you can have an accessible bath if you pay attention to the details. You keep two sinks, gain storage, and gain an envy worthy hopefully curbless shower that trumps not having a bath. Especially if the whole is designed as ready for a wheelchair accessibility. That’s huge. If the tub is going, use ALL the space better! Make it a big win for you, and for potential resale. I do suggest using a good K&B Designer or CAPS rated individual to help you with the many details needed here. The end result will be worth it....See More1909 four square: Please help with master suite floor plan
Comments (14)Thank you all for your comments. JudyG, thanks for the heads up. I do see after some reading that it's not a four square. But are you sure it's Victorian? To me it looks too austere to be a Victorian. It's possible that lost original details were more ornate, but the remaining original details seem fairly simple, including the lap siding, interior window trim, and the front window on the first story. greenfish1234, thanks for your honesty! Are you saying that I should get rid of both the door and the railings (so that it's no longer a balcony)? Or just the door? I am hoping to change the railings to something more beautiful when the budget allows. I think the replacement railings and posts make my porch/balcony unattractive, but some other balconies in the neighborhood have the original railings, and they are beautiful. suezbell, the thought of adding more living space is attractive, but I'm sure that would be out of our budget. Nancy, I like that plan but unfortunately I can't move the door to the bedroom to that location without losing the bathroom in the hallway. Also, I would like to keep the door in the alcove and add the bathroom there, but I'm afraid it would seem bizarre and off-putting to future buyers to have an exterior door in the bathroom (although I don't intend to sell the house anyway, and I suppose I could always change it to a window at that time)....See Moredietitian
