Hello everyone,

I hope I posted this topic in the right section, even though it is not about the floor plan of an entire house.

We are nearing the completion of the planning phase for our house. The exact layout of the master bedroom with an en suite shower room is still undecided. I’m hoping for some creative ideas from this forum 😉
  • The attached image shows the given, north-oriented floor plan – one grid square equals 10cm (4 inches) (room width 4 or 4.2m (13 or 14 feet), room length approximately 7.25m (24 feet)).
  • The door on the west side leads to the living area, the door on the southeast side leads to the hallway (the staircase comes up from the lower floor and ends in front of the bedroom door, the east side of the stairwell is glazed).
  • Both doors are flexible and can be removed if desired, although of course one door must remain to allow access.
  • The position of the 1m (3 feet) wide floor-to-ceiling north window, including the offset in the façade, can still be adjusted, but both elements should basically be retained. For aesthetic reasons, the offset should not be shifted too far east, otherwise the exterior proportions will no longer look right.
  • No additional windows on the north side are desired.
  • The large window on the east side is also flexible. Since this side offers a nice view of nature, the room should ideally open up in that direction.
  • This is an upper floor with a flat roof, so skylights are possible and desired 🙂
  • We prefer an open concept rather than the classic layout with a bedroom including a walk-in closet and a separate bathroom with shower and toilet.
  • A bathtub is available in the family bathroom, so it is not needed here.

PS: I can provide the current plan if needed. I haven’t attached it to avoid imposing any fixed conditions.

We also have an ensuite, but I wouldn’t want to have one again if I have to share my bedroom with a second person. It might be okay when you’re young, but not when you’re older.
Even when you’re younger, it’s not always ideal, especially if you get sick. My sister-in-law caught a nasty tropical disease with six months of diarrhea. My brother ended up sleeping on the couch very often. 😀

Try searching for the Linea show home in Bad Vilbel by Partner-Haus. We really liked the layout of the bathroom, dressing room, and bedroom. Although their website only shows a floor plan with very few dimensions, you might still be able to estimate some measurements. We would never integrate the bathroom into the bedroom or build it directly adjacent for the reasons mentioned.

And where would you put wardrobes there? The show homes with their three coat hooks and no wardrobes in the dressing rooms are unfortunately completely unrealistic.

Last night was cold, and I slept with the window open. The bedroom was wonderfully fresh: 16.5°C (62°F) this morning. After getting up, I went to the cozy warm bathroom, which I already heat so I can stand in the shower at 24°C (75°F) in the morning. Then I went to my dressing room. The window there was closed, and it felt like 21°C (70°F). Perfect for getting dressed. How would you solve the temperature issue in such a completely open space?

Everyone has their own preference, and I’m not against an open design, but in my opinion, a bathroom does not belong in the bedroom.

Honestly, what advantages do you see in that?
Yes, it might look stylish and give a luxurious impression, but aside from that?

I know these kinds of rooms very well from hotels, but they are not really practical.

Hello,

In both versions, the bathroom is separated from the bedroom by a door. If possible according to the floor plan, the toilet will also have its own separate room (e.g., in the current planning stage, the shower and toilet will need to be swapped).

There is also an additional family bathroom and a guest toilet. So there are plenty of alternative options available.

Best regards!

Sliding doors do not provide sound insulation. And with both of your options, you cannot access the clothes if someone is using the bathroom. Unless you are not very sensitive about that.
