Very odd shaped bathroom, wasted space, please help
Comments (10)Could you put shower where your vanity is? So a large corner shower, right angles out into room, angle where the vanity is. Tub beside shower, a free-standing soaker? Then toilet where shower is now, and vanity where tub is? This gives you a much bigger shower, much more useable vanity, and less space for tub, but enough for a soaker. Do you utilize the wall where your mirrored doors are in the closet? If not, you could take maybe a foot or so from your closet and add it to BR. Or, keep the 66" in closet, just make the 60" into one 30" door, pocket or swinging. and build a half wall of shelves/storage in the closet....See MorePlease help to decorate odd shaped walls..pics...
Comments (12)I can see a tall, bushy plant/flowers, either real or silk, on each ledge in a pretty copper vase or something similar. I would get something with color. She could put her books in front of them and have the plants as a backdrop. The bottom ledge where the printer is would be really cute decorated as a desk. I'm sure she's doing a ton of writing and it would be a nice place to sit and study....See MoreU-Shape Kitchen Help - Restricted due to Stairway
Comments (32)So, I did a layout with a centered sink. HOWEVER, while I was working with it, I noticed 2 mistakes in all the previous layouts. First, somehow the 5'9" wall was reduced to 5'0". So, that means the wall sticks out another 9" into the Kitchen and Dining Room. Second, I used the partial measurements instead of the full measurement to determine the length of the Kitchen and there was a difference of a bit more than 3" -- 3" in my favor. So, the net is that b/w the two, there is only a little more than a 5-inch difference. While it does not affect the perimeter layout, it does affect the island. So, I reduced the island by 6" -- it's now 54" wide instead of 60". A positive result is that now the aisle b/w the bottom wall and the island is a solid 36" wide instead of b/w 35" & 36" 54" is still wide enough for the island "legs" and 2 seats. 1.5" overhang + 1.5" leg + 24" seat + 24" seat + 1.5" leg + 1.5" overhang = 54" [Note: In your inspiration picture the island does not appear to have a 1.5" overhang on the sides -- maybe 1/2". If that's the case, then you would have 0.5" overhangs on the sides and 2.5" wide legs. Keep in mind that the Kitchen in your inspiration picture appears quite a bit larger than yours, so you may not be able to replicate it exactly, but you can get the general look.] So, here are two layouts -- the corrected Layout #1 and Layout #3 (centered sink). Personally, I'd go with Layout #1, an undermount sink, and the faucet centered on the window. But it's up to you -- it is your Kitchen after all! :-) . Layout #1 -- Corrected! Since you want all cabinets facing the refrigerator, I eliminated the 24" that was facing the DW and put in a 27" cabinet facing the refrigerator. However, I want to caution you against putting place settings & silverware on the range wall...that's where the Prep Zone is and you don't want people getting in the way of meal prep to get a dish or piece of silverware or when unloading the DW. It's best if the dishes stay in the island. You'll have to walk a step or two farther, but in the long run, it will be better. . . Layout #3 -- centered sink: Note that instead of totally eliminating corner storage, I made the following changes: The 36" x 36" corner susan is now a 33" x 36" corner susan. I know that some cabinetmakers offer them, but I don't know if all do. I would definitely look into it. The sink base is now 27" wide. The reduction made it possible to have a 33" x 36" corner susan The cabinet to the left of the DW is now 24" wide (with an extended stile). This cabinet can now hold dishes & silverware. Note that the sink crowds the range wall a bit more b/c the sink had to be moved over to the right....See MoreThis Wall - Odd Shaped Room
Comments (2)If I made the mirror wall a gallery wall, would that mirror work? I’ll try the sofa on the wall away from the window. I’ll have to post photos of the whole room; we have a TV on the wall across from the couch and moving the sofa that far over might make it hard to see the tv. It’s such an odd space!...See MoreLyn Nielson
