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.

Hello,

here is option 1 with a separate toilet:

Floor plan of a bedroom with bed on the right, wardrobes at the bottom, and bathroom on the left.


Arguments such as separate ventilation/heating naturally support a closed-off bedroom, as in option 2 (here the door between the dressing/bath area can also be designed as a swing door, making it airtight).

Best regards!

A glass sliding door has been installed for the bathroom.

through which you can see the toilet directly 😉

I don’t think open spaces are bad at all. I’m also a fan of hotel rooms that have only a glass panel between the washbasin and the bed.

I understand the critical opinions. But there are options to just separate the toilet, such as using a curtain or a frosted door, and so on.
Creative people see more potential in the living space and its possibilities. They also want it that way.

If age or illness becomes an issue later, you can always reorganize. But why shouldn’t you enjoy your freedom of mind for 20 years, when you might become more limited and less tolerant only after 21 years?

Open spaces allow for a lot—but you have to want it yourself. Maybe the original poster is different from the critical voices here 😉

And where do you plan to put wardrobes there? The show homes with their three coat hooks and no closets in the dressing rooms are unfortunately completely unrealistic.
My main concern was actually the layout of the bathroom – dressing room – bedroom. The dressing room is definitely too small.

So the layout is actually flawed if you don’t have any more space available.

I can reassure you. It’s a white, frosted glass. It’s hardly noticeable, and the "open" door doesn’t bother anyone, nor does anyone accidentally walk into it.

I actually like that we have our own area just for us. The guests or the children have their own shower bathroom including a toilet.

Hello,

In my opinion, the "walking closets" in common houses are at most large wardrobes you can walk into. A proper walk-in closet should have a table, a bench, and plenty of space. We lack that space where it is needed, so it will just be a few cabinets 🙂

We have no fundamental objections to the open floor plan, but the toilet should actually have a door that closes tightly.

Here is version 2 again, with the corresponding doors:

Floor plan of an apartment: living room on the left; central hallway; bedroom with bed on the right.


The shower here is 1.1 m (3.6 feet) wide and 1.7 m (5.6 feet) deep. The niche for the toilet is 1.2 m (3.9 feet), and there is 1 m (3.3 feet) of space in front of the fixture. Do you think this is sufficient?

Best regards!
