Help me design the layout of our powder rooms
Hi.
We have 2 powder rooms which we are trying to design the layout of.
We will have in built cisterns and a sink/vanity (potentially the sink would just sit on a plank of nice wood).
Powder Room #1 dimensions are 1.32m wide by 2.1m long.
I have 2 options - both are below. What are everyones thoughts on these layouts?
I think I love the first layout over the second but would like everyones opinions. I feel with a 2.1m long room, it would be enough room to achieve this.
Powder Room #2 dimensions - this room is 1.75 x 1.75. I think we could achieve a similar layout but the room is 350mm shorter.
Any help much appreciated

4 years agoIf you can do with a bigger powder room without sacrificing space better used in another room, then I would definitely go with the first options on top. Either layouts would work, but with the one on the left, consider how the nib wall for the built in cistern will abut the vanity. The layout on the right works well too, and came across this as an idea...

Comments (43)Now it's beginning to work! Luv the rug! A few more red showstoppers, and I luv the post about matting your family pic, and larger frame for it. Looks like you might be a bit uncomfortable with the great post idea of moving your sofa out into the room away from wall. If so, could you accept putting it diagonally from the entrance doorway, across that corner where it is, stopping at the edge of your window? That's a bit of a move outward, still can see the fp and tv, and show off your new rug, which could go diagonally in front of the sofa. Then, if you like that, after a while you could move it on out as Deb K suggests. Sometimes intermediate steps are more doable for us than those big changes.Same with painting; if you could first paint just the fp wall, then later paint other walls...seems some color would really make it more homey. Would you cosider a quite contemporary fixture for the light in the center ceiling? Maybe a bit of red could go there!...See MoreKitchen design help
Comments (15)Looks like you have several things to consider in the layout. What the view out the window ? Do you really want to see more of whats outside? Cooking is always best on the outside wall to get it vented, island cooking is a last resort, downdraft dont work well at all and the island hood is typically obstructive. Looks like the wall should come out to open the space up. Best advice is to have a designer come to your home and see it in person. There are costs associated with every change and it is very difficult to judge just from photos.The design phase is the most important part of any kitchen remodel the builder is only going to install it as the plans layout.

Comments (121)I would suggest you take out the cabinet that is to the right of the stove and use it elsewhere in the house -- perhaps in the bathroom or dining room with a hutch above it. Then, I would suggest you have someone install a lazy susan cabinet in the corner between the sink counter and the stove, meaning you would move the stove down a bit and have a small cabinet/counter top to the right of the stove. I would suggest you have the cabinets refinished in white and then paint the walls a pastel you like. If you would prefer white walls, then add white-painted crown molding and paint the ceiling a light neutral blue, such as Sherwin Williams Niagara Falls Blue. Then, I would suggest you choose a favorite accent color and use this sparingly in accessories like towels, pot holders, small vases or floral arrangements, and a valence above the triple windows. For a genuine 1940s look, you might have white ceramic square tiles with a rectangular red border installed as a back splash behind and above the stove. If you are replacing counter tops, I would suggest a light color such as white with a beige or light grey vein or striation for some sort of pattern. You might be able to find the same color and design in floor tile OR opt for a wood floor as another poster suggested....See MoreLooking for help on bedrooms layout
Comments (29)I think the first layout is fine. You might want to consider moving the door for the storage room of the master bedroom so that it opens into the hall. That way the kids can use it for overflow storage. Also, that hallway is big enough that I think it could hold a large armour, providing more closet space. (There's no need to sleep in the same room as your clothes, so long as they're not too far off.) Also, don't forget that while the drawing shows kids in double beds, this need not be the case, so there will be more room for furniture (dressers or whatever) in their rooms. Finally, that step to bedroom 4 will not be odd at all. I've seen it in other homes. It looks clumsy in the drawing but it isn't. What you'll see when you come up the stairs is a bedroom door on a slight diagonal. It's only an odd jagged step if you walk like a robot, in straight lines along the wall, which is what your eye is doing on the drawing but you won't do in real life....See Morelockmac

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agosomething to keep in mind is the thickness of the walls and correct installation of the in wall cisterns and best practice for plumbing and noise control in adjoining rooms so consult your designer and plumber to confirm suitability of any arrangements but for our two in wall cisterns we have a thicker reinforced stud wall in one and the other has the cistern built into an extra cavity in front of the stud wall with a section of counter over the top ....my suggestion would be to have the powder rooms arranged as follows with the option of the extended counter over the extra cavity for the cistern if necessary

I would go with the first layouts for both rooms. They work better with the position of the vanity and toilet and the view when you open the door. Think about adding some interesting lighting to make this room a bit more special than a functional toilet. Also think about how you are going to hide/display the plumbing below the plank vanity. Bottle traps are a good solution- see example below. Best wishes
