The changes to our plans have meant that our Master Bedroom Ensuite has been reduced in size with the result that the main area of the bedroom has been "squashed" into a long thin shape. Something doesn't feel right with the layout anymore!
Our in-house designer (aka the wife) has been drawing new layouts over and over again and we finally have a layout that we both like and which gives us the luxurious feel without the weirdness in shape. At least, we think so - and that's all that matters, right?
Shifting the ensuite and walk-in wardrobe from the "slopey" side of the house to the rear of the house seems to have made all the difference and we will now be closer to the television!
The end result (right) would see the walk-in wardrobe located opposite the entrance to the bedroom. This walk-in wardrobe would lead on in to the ensuite.
I believe Jackie will take the long run of wardrobes, by the way. My suits and shirts will have to be crammed into the smallest section of the wardrobe area but I guess that is something that men all over the world have to suffer.
There will be a slope along the left-hand side of the entire room under which we will probably have nothing or a very low unit to store infrequently used "things".
The hope is that this re-orientation won't have an effect on the planning approval process and is merely a building control matter! Fingers crossed!
The Master bedroom windows need to be moved towards the door a little to allow this to work. There will be a radiator to each side of the window (1 in "dressing" area and the other behind the door). Shower in ensuite is to the left as u go in the door. The door might need to be a pocket type sliding glass door.
