Is having a laundry room off the master bedroom a crazy idea?
Comments (12)I like weedys's idea of putting the laundry where the master toilet was, recessing the door to the master bedroom to allow for a door into the new laundry, and then sorting out your master bathroom and closet space because all you're doing there is swapping floor space. You don't have to deal with exterior walls and window locations. I'll toss this idea out. Move the laundry over to where the linen closet was and move the linen closet across so it backs up to the stairway. Bedroom closets go behind the laundry. You could also move the kids' bathroom to where I have the new laundry. With the bathroom layout adjusted of course. Then move the washer and dryer to where the tub is in the old kid's bathroom. In that laundry you could even keep the toilet and sink for a laundry/half-bath....See MoreHealth issue - Bedroom conversions
Comments (10)Did you see this from Houzz posted yesterday? https://www.houzz.com/houzz-tv/watch-now-5-design-principles-to-support-wellness-at-home-stshtvvw-vt~135005573 You may not wish to share what exact health issues but that will need to be addressed in order for the best solutions to come forth. If you don’t wish to do this on a public forum then consider professional help. When I hear ‘health issues’ and ‘ranch house’ I think of door opening sizes? Turn radiuses and hallway sizes? Flooring transitions? Door knobs vs levers and so much more. And then of course there would be the obstacles you face with your exact health issues. Not to mention the issues with opening up a wall - which you will need to get a licensed contractor there to review the viability and cost of opening up any wall....See MoreAccess Laundry Room through spare bedroom?
Comments (5)A friend's house has the laundry room on the 2nd floor. I was there once while a load was running. Noise transmission into the living room below sounded like a train rumbling through. Her washer at the time (maybe is still now) was a Whirlpool toploader (I could tell what it was doing by the noises, LOL). I don't know any details on the construction of the house, noise abatement efforts and such....See Moremaster bedroom, master closet, master bath, 1/2 bath and laundry
Comments (9)Do you have another bathtub in the house...for bathing kids? Unless you or your spouse enjoy baths...maybe eliminate the tub in the MBA? I am glad I have a linen closet in my MBA. I agree with eliminating the reach-in closets and adding windows. Also think about how you dress; a walk-in closet can hold all the things people used to store in dressers. (You really don't *need* a window in a closet, although Mark gave it one.) I agree with him about losing the (dated) double doors -- and creating an entry, rather than plopping right into the living room. If you'll eat at the kitchen island a lot, consider seating that's not all-in-a-row. It makes conversation difficult....See Morescottie mom
