Help!!! we have to add a bedroom for our new baby.

Things to know: currently we use our entry way as an office space for two people. we dont like that the bathroom in our master bedroom opens up to the toilet and the closet in that room leaves no space for a tv since there is only one wall the bed can go up against. We dont want to mess with the current bathroom to save us money on the redo.

Any ideas for the space are welcome!! counting on reddit to save us.

My tenant has just moved out and I would like to turn his room into more of a multi-use spare room where I can use a computer, sewing machine, add a TV etc.

I want to keep the bed as it's nice for guests, but want to move it into a corner so it takes up less of the room. Where do you think it should go?

1. This is the current layout with the bed in the middle, not much space

2. Bed in top-left corner, facing wall. Prefer this layout but hate the gap between the headboard and the wall

3. Bed in top-right corner, facing wall. Like this layout, but the room on the other side of the head is the toilet. Also might be unnerving to have head by the door (though there is room for bedside table or divider)

4. Bed in top-right corner, facing door. Not keen on this as the feet are right by the door, and doesn't actually free up much space

What do you think?

(before you ask about the desk blocking the closet door, I'm replacing door with beads so there is more space for a big work desk 😁)

We added a 3rd child recently, so my husband has been restructuring the layout of our original master suite, old hall bath, laundry room, and an old bonus/sunroom to add a 4th room and give us a bigger master suite. The 4th bedroom is sectioned off now, and the area that will be our master bedroom, master bathroom/closet and laundry combined is what we are trying to layout. Below is a blueprint I sketched. It may not be 100% to scale but its as close as I can get it. The area with the bed is the bedroom obviously, and there is currently a brick wall between it and the rest of the suite. Part of what we are trying to figure out is where to cut the doorway that will combine the 2 areas into a suite.

The washer and dryer ideally need to stay where they are, and we are not moving the furnace for obvious reasons. The nook over to the right hand side is where we're thinking a walk in shower should go. Thinking about closet area in the bottom left corner of the sketch with a wall dividing the closet and bathroom area. Considering having the new door cut to where its a somewhat straight path from our bedroom to the doorway thats by the furnace, as that's where the hall opens up where our children's bedrooms are (theyre all young and one is nursing so I'm still up through the night some).

Open to any feedback or ideas. Id like a decent sized his and hers vanity. Would also love a freestanding tub if we can make it fit without compromising a good flow of the room. The doorway off of the right hand side of our bedroom leads into our living room, if it matters. The doorway on the top side is a slider that leads into our back patio. One thing I'm trying to keep in mind for decisions on where the door is cut, is that I need to be able to put a desk somewhere in the room (i wfh and prefer my desk to not be in an open area) in addition to furniture (2 dressers)

This is a houseplan in a plot area of 2400sqft for a family of three in Southindia. There is a semi independent studio space for the father on the ground floor and a large open garden area on the eastern side.
Kindly review the plan and give honest feedbacks and suggestions.
Thankyou

Hi everyone! We need some help with the floorplan for a future in-law suite we’ll be building. For background, we’ll be buying my in-laws house and then adding this addition to it. We’ve gotten a few variations of this but we’re not happy. (My father-in-law has chosen this building company and is spear heading it. If it were up to me I’d be looking elsewhere but that’s not the point.) So if anyone is bored and wants to offer some advice, that would be lovely!

Here’s the must haves -
It has to be no more than 822 sq ft
We need to have a door to the garage (west/left side)
A second half bath (could be combined with laundry room)
Ideally living spaces would be south facing (right now they are east facing)
Ideally ADA compatible or at least close to it

Here’s what we don’t like -
No windows facing east and not enough windows facing south
Entry from garage seems bizarre and awkward and there’s no second toilet
No pantry
**Edited to add the front door way in the corner is weird

Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to decide between these two pool layouts for a relatively small backyard (about 8.5 m × 8.0 m / 28 × 26 ft).

Option 1: Pool is approximately 6.1 × 3.4 m (20 × 11 ft), positioned more centrally with roughly 0.8 m of space on the sides.

Option 2: Pool is approximately 5 × 3 m (16.4 × 9.8 ft), positioned toward one side, leaving a much larger open area on the opposite side.

I've attached the two layouts below.

My priorities are:

Making the backyard feel spacious rather than cramped

Having enough room around the pool for seating/entertaining

Good overall aesthetics and flow

Still having a pool large enough for a family to actually enjoy

Which layout would you choose and why? Would you change the pool dimensions or placement in either design?

Can Reddit solve the door problem our designer hasn’t been able to crack?

We’re renovating a townhouse. A door separates the stair landing from the primary suite. See red arrow in the floor plan.

It swings inward and right as you enter the suite, blocking the narrow hallway between the bedroom and bathrooms and swinging into anyone who is walking there.

Complications:

● The surrounding geometry prevents the door from opening fully against a wall.
● The passage is only slightly wider than the approximately 32-inch door.
● Swinging it onto the stair landing would create safety and circulation issues.

Am I overestimating the problem? How would you orient or redesign the door? I’d appreciate any creative solutions!

I've bought a condo bigger than where I currently live, so the current furniture will go in the basement family room (with the TV, where the kids can hang out), and I have this giant gorgeous living room with NO FURITURE and I'd like some ideas! The red square in the bottom left is a doublebass (it takes up about a 3x3 space, a little less than the square on the map). Just above that I'm looking to put an armoire that'll hold my kids' viola, violin, guitar, music stands, etc. At the top of that wall, I may put a desk that looks out the huge bright window.

The right 3/4 of the room I have no idea (and no furniture! So I can shop for anything.) My dream wishlist would be a sofa, a loveseat, and at least two cozy chairs that rotate so you can be in the coversation space with the sofa and loveseat, OR you can be looking out the gigantic window at the birds. With appropriate tables to put down drinks, etc. There IS a space for a TV above the fireplace but I'm not 100% sure I want one in the living room. My other dream item would be a piano, but it'd have to go against the bottom wall -- you can't put it on an exterior wall and I wouldn't want to put it on the shared wall and annoy my neighbors.

What would you do? Wishlist bulleted below:

• Sofa
• Loveseat
• 2-3 spinny chairs to look out the windows
• Assorted tables as necessary
• Armoire to store instruments on left wall
• possible piano? bottom wall only
• possible TV above fireplace
• possible desk that looks out gorgeous widow

Hi,

We are currently considering turning our attic into additional living space, however we are struggling with the current lay out of the first floor as its a very small house and we don't know where to put the stairs. Any ideas?

In the photos attached do you think the blue circled section would be used as functional countertop space if I changed it?
