Small bedroom design TINY BOX of a bedroom
Comments (45)mammapinky Yes, they are. I did that on purpose. I wanted a different illusion than just the mirrors hanging, if that makes sense. I want the mirrors and curtains anchoring the bed, like a headboard. Thank you! To everyone mentioning the mirror height, don't tell my husband! (lol) He absolutely hates hanging curtains, shelves, mirrors and paintings. haha I'll have to wait to the weekend or a day we both have the time and we shall raise them. I'll have to ease him into it. ;) Should they go the same height as the curtains? Thing is, raising them any higher and the bottom of the mirrors show, which is not the effect I was going for. :/ chickadee2_gw Wow, thank you so much! :) I truly find this sight inspiring. I really appreciate all of the help you all have to offer! :) And now I can finally move on to the kitchen! rebeccamomof123 That really made me smile. :) I am so thrilled with how it all turned out and it is so nice having people to share it with, who understand. :) Thank you so much!...See MoreHelp transform my small bedroom into bedroom + office space.
Comments (3)So I just tweeked your current plan a little bit by doing pier style cabinets on either side of the bed. Then you don’t have to have a nightstand. Or you can just do full height wardrobes. You will have to account for the jogs in the wall so that the bed is positioned so that you can get the doors open. Then the desk would be opposite the bed and possibly add a little bookcase. I am showing a queen sized bed....See MorePlease critique preliminary Master Bedroom/Bath/Closet design
Comments (9)Random thoughts: - Wow, that's a lot of stuff in a small space. While it fits, I don't think you have enough space for comfort. - You have nine doors in your master suite ... plus two more immediately outside the suite. In contrast, I have eleven in my whole downstairs. You've divided things too much; those doors will take up all your wall space. Consider that in the bathroom you have a separate room for the sink ... a separate room for the toilet ... and a separate room for the bathing apparatus. Those things are going to look odd each in their own rooms. You're empty nesters, so I assume aging-in-place is a concern for you? All these doors will be problematic if you have arthritic hands or mobility issues. - The worst door is the one on the toilet closet; this closet looks particularly small, and you won't be able to close the door once you're in there -- even if it were larger, these things are awful for elderly people. Consider, too, that you need some storage near the toilet ... for TP now, perhaps for other items once you're elderly. What you're doing is regulating yourself to a mall toilet stall; consider, too, that if you need to add grab bars to both sides of the room, the usable space in the room will decrease further still. You're going to use this toilet multiple times a day ... make it accessible and comfortable. - You're talking about a Japanese tub ... aren't these usually round? Yet your bathing room is laid out for a rectangular tub. - I don't like that the sink, the most used item in the bathroom, is going to be in a windowless room. - I like your connection between the closet and the laundry ... but you have no space for "waiting loads", no space for storage of detergent and other laundry items, no space for drip-drying items. Also, your dryer would be cheaper /more fire safe if it were placed on an exterior wall so you could vent it directly. - I see that the closet faces the front of the house, so I assume you need those windows-in-closet for symmetry ... but do consider what type of window coverings you'll use to protect your clothing from sun damage. - Your master is a nice size. - The exterior door in the master is an excellent idea ... for fire safety, if nothing else ... but what's the little bumpty-bump into which it opens? This is going to be expensive to build, and then it'll be odd to exit into that little space. If you incorporate that space into the master, you could have an overstuffed chair /footrest, which could be a great place to sit and read (if your lighting is right), and you could still have the exterior door in that spot. Yes! This general concept simplifies your overly-complex plan. It'll make access to these areas more convenient and will eliminate all those doors, doors, doors. Maybe lose all those entry doors /place ONE BEDROOM DOOR between the foyer and the suite, the spot where you currently have a cased opening. Not sure how the little office will be used, but agree with the other poster on putting the laundry there instead. Yes! How about moving the laundry to the office ... and put a built-in desk in the spot that currently holds laundry....See MorePlease Critique One Bedroom Floor Plan
Comments (48)Just remember that OTR MWs are not cheap, while countertop models can be had for < $100. OTR MWs are, at best, mediocre hoods (and often not even that good) and meh MWs. If it were me, I would get an inexpensive hood, vented to the outside, and get a relatively inexpensive MW (1000 watts). The MW in the layout I did is mounted on a shelf under the upper cabinet next to the refrigerator, not sitting on the counter. It would not only make it look more upscale (and maybe increase your ability to rent it out), but it would also help keep the gunk build-up down, which you will need to clean each time it changes renters. Get one that's the same width as the range with lights and a high/low setting. I would try for 24"D, but if that drives the price up too much, 21"D may suffice to keep most of the gunk away. Flank it by uppers to help corral the FOGSS (fumes, odors, grease steam, smoke), and you should have a setup that goes a long way to making it look higher end overall....See MoreRelated Professionals
