Utility/downstairs bathroom conundrum

5 months ago

Hi, I would be grateful if anyone could give some advice as to suggested layouts for this planned ground floor space.

The wall between the kitchen/dining space is a supporting wall that we plan to remove/partially remove. The idea then is to take out the current bathroom altogether and make the back wall a glass sliding door. I would like to move the kitchen close to where the Kitchen/Dining boundary wall currently sits. my problem is we would like to introduce a utility/downstairs bathroom into the space. We think using the current dining space or most of it makes the most sense, especially given the supporting wall. There is also currently a window and patio door on the right hand side walls so i dont want to put the utility on that side and lose the natural light as kitchen is north facing.

Any tips or ideas for utility & bathroom layout within this space would be massively appreciated!

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

this is our downstairs bathroom tile. Would it be strange to use the exact same tile in the hall?

I personally think an en-suite would be more practical and will add value than a dedicated office. Could you fit the washing machine under the stairs. You have ample room in the kitchen to have an office area by the small window.

Thank you so much for coming back to me, I really appreciate it. We are now thinking a max 30 sq metre extension and we'll have to tear down the poorly constructed extension that's there at the moment that houses the kitchen and utility etc. The front room will be a formal Living room and the next room which is currently the dining room will become the open plan living dining kitchen. I need to include a utility playroom and office in there somewhere too

Thank you Jonathon! lots of food for thought there! i am hoping to keep the utility etc on the left hand side if possible to allow the windows to remain in the open plan living dining but maybe we could do a version of that flipped.

Personally I think the reduced head height under the stairs and the likely sewer connection to the right under the drive makes putting next plumbing on the right of the house more logical.
