Renovating Design Dilemma DIY

Restructure Upstairs Floor Space - best plan? Appreciate any thoughts!

last year

Hello,

I've attached the current floor plan, and 2 potential ideas for getting a new ensuite in the master.

Although the master is biggish - it has dual aspect windows on each exterior wall, so there is no real place to put a wardrobe.

Option A) Keep the store room and kids room at current size, cut bathroom in size, and create ensuite, leaving main bath where it is.

Option B) Lose the store room, reduce size of kids room a bit moving hall and create new bathroom in store room (this was the original bath when the house was built - so plumbing shouldnt be too bad), and create a large space for the master to have an ensuite and walk in wardrobe.

Option A is easiest, but leaves us with a real lack of wardrobe space, option B will cost a bit more, but will set us up with a real nice big Master with walk in WR, and nice size ensuite, while creating a decent family bathroom.

Appreciate any thoughts, or other ideas!

fragle0 ... congratulations on the new addition to your family. Have been following your lovely changes. You probably won't have time to work on the decor for a while. Just wanted to suggest that you try pulling the nesting tables forward to be more in line with front of the chairs & placing your floor lamp to the back of them. This will give a bit more light at night for reading in that area.Also switching the plant by the fireplace & the one on the corner by the sofa.

Hi guys, Leelee we are definitely doing the vintage bits on the wall. We actually have some vintage cereal boxes that we are planning on displaying on the shelves (filled with cereal of course)!. Sarainitaly - I'm investigating thenIkea planner but it's painful to work (or maybe it's just me!). Here's a pic of the walls totally painted green now. Think the shelves will look great along with some pictures dotted around. It's the cabinets now that will b a pain! BTW it was pure enthusiasm that stopped me waiting until the water heater came off the wall to paint - lol. I will have to paint the patch when it's off.

Other Houzzers are great at furniture placement, but I wanted to note that you really should have seating facing the fireplace and/or the t.v.

Hi Sheona, No problem at all, I love doing them :) Glad you liked the previous plan, I know the feeling sometimes when you have been looking at something for so long it is impossible to make decisions :) I had a think last night about your other question about putting the utility near the kitchen. I can up with a few changes. I'm not sure if it is possible as I only had the plan to go on, but I thought I'd send it your way and it might help. My idea was to move the entrance to where the old utility room was, then put the new utility beside the kitchen in the old entrance way. I combined the old bathroom to make a bedroom, added a toilet and increased the side of the Den. As I said, these are just ideas and I have no idea if this is possible but hope it helps :) If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me :) Good luck with the build

I think B! Best to spend a bit more and have what you really want. Although you’ll lose your store room you’ll have some spare space in your walk-in wardrobe. My advice would be to have a shower in your main bathroom as well (either separate or over the bath).
