Small Master Bath Redesign HELP

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

Just purchased this home and have a small master bathroom which I would like to redesign. I have attached a photo below and based on the colors, all of it must go. Any fun or unique ideas would be appreciated as I am basically starting from a blank canvas!

Don't have the exact dimensions at the moment but believe it is roughly 8'/9' deep and 4' wide

Here's what I've found after living in and visiting many tract homes- LR-13x18 FR-12x16 (and that they not be in the middle of the traffic flow pattern aka many tract homes post ww2 till about the late 50's) Kitchen (no eating area) 9x11 DR/Nook or other eating area 10x10 Entry-at least 3'6" wide 4' better Bedrooms (good design would at least provide 2 good bed walls aka no doors or windows in it) MBR-12x13 w/ at least 10 linear feet of closets All other bedrooms-10x10 with at least 5 linear ft of closets all closets 2' deep, Baths-5x8 but 5x9 better if fixtures lined up on one wall and tub/shower at end 7x8 and 8x8 with the tub/shower fully accessible if it's 5 ft long 6x8 if it's a 3' shower (fixtures lined up on 2 opposite walls). If you look and many floor plans the best ones will have all of this. Note that square footage does not have to be a lot-ciculation/flow between rooms helps this.

Hello Emma, What about if you were to have the study room as a study/bedroom... You can buy beds that slide out from behind a book case or shelves for example.. A double would fit and then why not consider making the walk in wardrobe slightly smaller in favour of a dual access En suites.. If you were to divide the room in half.. Have sliding doors from both sides ie current side and from study side.. You can divide the slightly bigger en-suite room and situate a small shower, back to wall loo and small wall hung sink in both sides.. With back to back plumbing. Then you can sell the property on with the idea of two possible bedrooms.. or as a study with it's own shower room for guests that stay on occasion... Small bathrooms can be just as spectacular as spacious ones, but at any rate it gives you more options as there is a full sized bathroom anyway.. : ))

Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie

Losing a Bedroom

I am in the midst of redesigning my upstairs floor plan to incorporate a good size master/ensuite. We have a great plan; however it involves losing a small bedroom which we currently use as a study. Would you risk it? We currently have 5 bedrooms & only one and a half bathrooms & this would really help to make the interior more balanced, but I'm not sure if it would negatively impact the value of the house. TIA

Just a couple quick tips - I would look at putting in a wall mounted toilet with concealed cistern (the cistern is built into the wall and you only have a flush plate). If you stick with brand like Geberit you cannot go wrong. It is very nerve wrecking thinking about putting the cistern into the wall but the products are actually easily serviceable and these products are very popular all over the world. By doing this you will push the toilet back against the wall and add more space.

I would also suggest a tall narrow heated towel rail/towel dryer. In small bathrooms where ventilation is limited, it will help dry the towels quickly and hygienically - as a manufacturer of heated towel rails we would tend to be a little bias :) Also replace the vanity with a floating, wall mounted vantity - it should also give the room slightly more spacious feel.
