Dear Home Building Forum,
my partner and I strongly disagree about the layout of our walk-in closet. The original floor plan does not include a door to the bathroom. My partner really wants to add an entrance to the bathroom, but I am concerned that this will make it difficult to fit enough wardrobes. What are your opinions? Should we install the door or leave it out?
Best regards, Carolin

barfly66627 Mar 2022 08:36Your bedroom is about the same size as mine was in my former single student apartment, wow, wow, wow, but then only the bed is allowed to fit in there…
Why not do it like this?
- The dressing area becomes a home office WITHOUT a door or wall to the hallway (this way you get natural light in the hallway and an open spatial feeling)
- The second bathroom door is, of course, removed
- The door from the former dressing area to the parents’ bedroom is removed
- The child’s room in the upper right becomes the parents’ bedroom with access to the dressing area (former parents’ bedroom)
Your problem is that you want to force maximum luxury (dressing room, en-suite bathroom, home office, balcony, etc.) into a house/floor plan that isn’t suited for it; the only thing missing now is a gallery, a sauna in the bathroom, and a kids’ bathroom.
Having a larger bedroom with a wardrobe but without a separate dressing room is nothing to be ashamed of…

I didn’t want to put anything else in the bedroom either.
An open home office is unfortunately not an option because the clutter (papers, etc.) would always be visible.
We don’t want a sauna, a kids’ bathroom, or any other luxury. It was only about an extra door to the bathroom, which we will simply leave out now. Thank you very much for the suggestions.

By the way, I would make sure that the wall between the bedroom and the children’s room is reinforced or thicker for sound insulation.In which direction should the sound be absorbed? 😀Similar topics
