Bathrooms Building a Home Design Dilemma

master ensuite design help

last year

So I’ve been working on this master ensuite design for way too long and just never getting satisfied with the use of space.

My drawings on the picture signify:

blue circle round skylight
black shower heads,
red curve in shower is an internal curve
red line near bath to signify no more curve there, to open up the space, blue line across that means window.

My question is, would it be weird having the one curve wall in the ensuite?

Is there a better layout for this space to encapsulate master bedroom with walk in robe and ensuite.

I really don’t want to go back to my architect until I’m sure because we’ve lost count on the revisions.

I’ve also attached the whole house extension plans (don’t get confused with the master bedroom here as we asked to go to boundary and widen the room but I decided against this as I would prefer to have windows to a retreat)

I’ll attach some of my inspo pics for bath area too

To stop mould in your wardrobe I would have a door between ensuite and wir.

And I like the back wall of shower being curved. Curve walls are expensive

Thanks houssaon and rinqreation! Funny - hubby has the same 2 door hate! It sounds like I'm being outvoted on the shared ensuite idea. :) We've actually been set on both the configurations you suggested, we moved away from yours houssaon because we really wanted to keep a closed off office space (and hubby built the front deck and landing already for the door at the end of the hallway!). And I don't know why we shifted the door on the bedroom back to the same area, I think it was about having easy access to all the kids bedrooms. But maybe we should shift it back as you suggest rinqreation. Joice, the door at the end of the hallway is the front door, the entrance closest to the street, that you would come to first if you were a visitor. Not totally necessary, but we reinstated it before we decided we wanted the entrance up the stairs (middle bottom) which would be under a carport. Thanks for all your input!! It's really helpful to have some unattached opinions. I'm keen to hear from anyone else on the shared ensuite or 2 door hate question! :)

Glossy tiles for bathroom ensuite?
Q

I would not recommend glossy tiles in a bathroom. We have 24" polished porcelain throughout our house, and... we also have a pool. Although I love our tiles, I have to be super careful coming inside. If I am at all damp, walking on the tiles is tricky. Yes, they are easy to keep clean, but so are most tiles. For my master bath, I went with tiles that had a high COF (Coefficient of Friction). I've had my fill of slippery bathroom floors, and wanted something that I didn't have to slide a towel around on. I love them! I can step out of the shower, and have as much grip on the floor, as if I had stepped onto a mat. :)

The mosaics behind the vanity are called extra light diamond from Rex. I have added the website http://www.rex-cerart.it/en/extra-light/ The tiler will screed the wall in white so no other colour comes through and then use an adhesive in white and then grout. I have sealed the grout also as white grout can discolour. You will see on the website some amazing applications of this little glass mosaic. Happy hunting

If vertically fits perfectly then I would probably do that. As it's a feature wall and the others are in a standard subway pattern I'm sure it would still look good, as, in my opinion, the less cuts and grout in a shower situation the better.

Hi, the images you show are lovely and yes, curves do cost more but done well, add so much to a space. Also, if you have a full 180 curved shower, there are no internal corners that tend to get dirtier. The floor wall intersection will still be there though unless you use a small mosaic tile and make that junction curved as well. There's pros and cons of doing that.

A couple of things I would look at are the relatively small dark toilet space. The other is that the corners of the wardrobe effectively wastes 2x500mm of hanging space. I'd look at making the wardrobe a bit narrower and just have 2 long sides of joinery. You could have a small vanity table and mirror at the end or hooks on the wall for dressing gowns etc. I'd also enter the robe from the bedroom to try and minimise moisture affecting your clothes. I think the 2710mm long space for the tub could be reduced a little so the curve is a bit smaller into the bedroom especially if the external curve is not happening. If the robe is a bit narrower, turn the toilet room around 90 degrees and put the door into it from the shower side, not facing the bedroom. Tthat will make the space to get past the toilet and vanity to the shower bigger. This is the pinch point of your current layout and may compromise your selection options for the vanity.

Good luck.

Thank you for your comments! I’m such a visual person and I’m struggling to understand, would you mind drawing on it what you would do with the WIR? And entries etc. thank you I’d really appreciate that
