Alter ensuite to get full head height around the bed?
Another awkward room - loft bedroom which the new bathroom is being fitted from 2nd October and I haven't decided on the space or bought anything yet so still time to alter it 😂.
Currently has shower room in the only part of the room that has full head height.
Computer images are the room without the ensuite in to give a clear idea of the space.
Avatar is where the head height ends ie so you have 2.6m width of room that is head height space.
I've shown in the pic where the bed used to be which was restricted head height (headboard against the entry door wall).
Need to keep the shower in the left side alcove because all the pipes run down the chimney wall and go out the back due to joists. But the shape can be changed to give more floor space to walk around. Wc needs to either go left wall or on stud wall.
Was thinking of using the corner ie diamond shape instead to give more floor space but really struggling.
Basically we either change the bathroom or eventually put a dormer on and the latter is going to cost a heck of a lot more!!
Tried allsorts in my head to get a double bed in with walk around both ways so this is my last chance.

More pics Inc my sketch of the current bathroom layout which is a nice space (not as wide as I've drawn though, lol!) but it takes up most of the room and can't be relocated.

Comments (30)Melissa, when I said footboard, I meant this. It has a portion of the bed that extends beyond the mattress edge. You posted a bed that had something at the foot section of the bed. By platform, I mean a bed that has a hard area and only a mattress on it. Like this. It does not extend beyond the edge of the mattress, but does not have a box spring. It is also lower to the ground. The picture you posted was a high profile bed and box spring. It was not on a typical bed frame. A standard bed frame, used with box spring and mattress looks like this. Virtually invisible and does not extend out beyond the mattress/box spring set. That being said, I'd recommend you get a headboard that is not too big for your space. Neither in height or depth (distance from the wall). I would also not get a mattress frame that extends beyond the size of the mattress. Sorry to have not been clear before....See MoreHelp with a boring bedroom
Comments (23)Adding width BEHIND THE BED - with a headboard (which doesn't have to be a "headboard"; it could be fabric, collection of mirrors, collection of pictures, a farm gate!, small chairs or stools) across the entire width. Matching bedside tables/bookcases/chests/ with LAMPS - useful storage for extra books, extra bedding, etc. CURTAINS always warm up a room. People will always feel colder away from home - provide an extra blanket or duvet to add to the bed. I notice there is no WARDROBE. Not really necessary for overnight guests (provide hooks on the back of the door) but useful for storing your out-of-season coats, etc. There is plenty of room behind the door. Buy one on eBay and paint it to suit your colour scheme....See MoreWin a design consultation at The permanent tsb Ideal Home Show!
Comments (74)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...See MoreEn-suite in Garage Conversion
Comments (2)What a wonderful plan to provide space for your parents. We had my wonderful father-in-law stay for extended periods and enjoyed every minute of his trips. Such wonderful memories for us all now he is gone. Here are my suggestions. The Bathroom. The larger bathroom is a must. Entry point to the shower large enough to fit a wheelchair should the need arise. A wetroom is ideal as prevents obstructions and trip hazards. Entry to the right if they are right handed so you can add grab bars when this is needed. Shower controls at the entry point to prevent the need to go into the shower to turn on. I would avoid pedestal sinks and have sturdy floor standing model with drawers beneath for storage and easy access. Non-slip flooring is also needed to avoid falls and a doorway to allow a wheelchair to pass with ease if needed. I would therefore use the full width of the area rather than creating the alcove for storage. You have 1900 width so plenty of room for wardrobes on the walls outside the loo. Have the entrance to the bathroom as streamlined as possible to avoid tripping. The Bedroom Suggest a king sized bed for comfort. Switches beside both sides of the bed for all lights. Lockers either side so they can place tablets, water, books etc. Sockets at waist height and either side of the bed for charging etc. you might have room for comfy chair with a floor lamp for reading if the other is having a snooze. Bedside lamps for reading with those little bendy arms are great. A good sized full length mirror to style check oneself before presenting to the world😀 I hope I have not scared you off but as you are starting from scratch best do it right. You will never regret being able to have your folks for longer. I know I did not. 👴👵❤️❤️...See More- 11 months ago
