ᐅ Floor Plan Design – How to Arrange Bedrooms and Dressing Rooms?

We are currently finalizing the design of our house and are unsure about the layout of the bedroom and the walk-in closet. Should we keep it as it is or would it be better to swap the two rooms?
Do you have any suggestions? What do you think of the rest of the layout?

At a quick glance: Swap the walk-in closet and the bedroom.
Install tall kitchen cabinets, moving them into the storage room (or also reduce the size of the wardrobe). Place the sofa against the wall, then build a media wall between the dining and living areas for the TV.

Walk-in closets and bedrooms are a matter of personal preference. Some people don’t want to always walk through a closet area to get to the bedroom, while others prefer not to be disturbed during sleep.

Also, when children are still small, you often need to check on them at night, or they may come to the bedroom if they need to use the bathroom, have trouble sleeping, or are unwell.

For that reason, I tend to favor short walking distances. I would consider swapping the walk-in closet and bedroom if it allows quick access to the bedroom, meaning you don’t have to walk all the way through the closet area first.

Even with the current layout, I would prefer to place the bed differently and have the closet accessible from the front— for example, positioning the bed with the headboard against the closet wall and allowing access to the closet from both sides of the bed. Of course, this also depends on the available space.

I hope this was clear.

I would have the bathroom door open outwards – otherwise, it’s always a bit of a maneuvering challenge.
Otherwise, the layout is quite open – that’s a matter of personal preference.
It’s unclear what you plan to do with the 1.17m (3 ft 10 in) wide utility room... the appliances are usually about 60cm (24 inches) wide.
The access to the walk-in closet is very narrow.
I would advise against a sauna without an outdoor exit.

That was clear. Is the room depth sufficient for this?

I would place the bed on the right side, so when entering the room you face the bed, and from the bed you can see the door, instead of having it behind your head (which feels like a vulnerable spot). The bedroom entrance would naturally be "through" the walk-in closet at the start of the room 🙂

😱 1.17 meters (3 ft 10 in)??? THAT is definitely too narrow. We have 1.40 meters (4 ft 7 in) and it could still be 10 cm (4 in) wider for a laundry basket and a foldable drying rack...
