Even with the reduction in size, our bedroom will still be about 12x15 feet!Ī big chunk of the space off to the left of the bedroom will instead become a new laundry room. Considering we’re gaining a decent amount of functional closet space (we plan on installing an IKEA PAX system with TONS of storage), and the only things we really need in the bedroom are the bed and a couple of nightstands, we weren’t concerned about losing the square footage.Įven if we wanted to expand the room some, we’d be limited since the wall between the bedroom and closet is a support wall.

Other significant changes - you’ll notice that the master bedroom is MUCH smaller in the new layout. You’ll also notice on the bottom left that I’ve labeled the hallway and kids’ bath. The loft is actually MUCH larger than that (it spans the entirety of our 3-car garage), but we’re only modifying a small corner of it for this project. For instance, at the top of the layout, you’ll notice I labeled a small section of the loft. Lastly, the floor plan doesn’t include our entire second story, but since this remodel actually impacts more than just the master suite, I’ve included snippets of the adjacent impacted areas. (Also, the fact that we had a shower room.)

Not only that, but we hated that the only way to get to the loft from this side of the house was to walk through our shower room. Secondly, the bathroom situation was all sorts of broken up craziness. Also, that little alcove at the end of the loggia in the corner of the room. I’d LOVE to talk to the architect and figure out whyyyyy they built the loggia at all. The “loggia” was the only source of natural light in the whole suite and it really wasn’t an inviting space - super long and skinny. There are a couple of things that I want to point out before we get this “future plans” party started though.įirst of all, you can now see how INSANELY DUMB this layout was.

Certain objects (vanities, the bed) aren’t to scale but are good placeholders to get the point across. I’ve tried to outline each “room” to help it make more sense.
