Help with upstairs home layout.

[pitchfork]

I'd go for a smaller bathroom and a bigger bedroom to be honest, big bathrooms never made sense to me as a thing.

A bedroom is much more important, I'd scrap the closet, make that bathroom the bedroom and use the small extension room as a bathroom.

Not anymore, i think the rule is now that as long as there is a sink its ok.

Yep, needs a sink that not used for food perpetration. ie a sink inside the toilet.

It be more modern if you run the cabinets along the toilet wall (don't like the toilet inside a kitchen but hay ) and have the cooker and eating space as an island.

Kitchen sink facing a solid wall can be a bit depressing (had one in our old house) compared to looking out a window, and the toilet will block most of the natural light coming from the living room so you will be reliant on the other end for that. I would suggest maybe putting a large mirror on the toilet wall to reflect the view from the patio doors (assuming you don't move the door round there) and this should also make the corner feel less claustrophobic.

True but you can put the sink on the island too. My point is though it more a modern design and it would seem the OP has the space for it.

You can put the fridges and larder against the toilet wall and the sink/cooker on the island. Gives you a better "Triangle". The sink/cooker rather far apart currently.

Re the issue with the seconds room, i've got measurements for a standard double as 190x135 (cm) which should comfortably fit. Our short term plan is to use that room as a study then should need arise in the future then convert it to a kids bedroom.

The downstairs rooms are quite large, the kitchen will be roughly designed as below.

So the kitchen will be broken up with a separate seating area going out onto the patio.

What programme did you use for these drawings?

The ikea kitchen planner. It's pretty decent.

I've had a bit of a redesign this evening, switched the bedroom and bathroom and removed the chimney breast (there should be surplus budget for this).

I think that works better in practice, the bedroom is bigger and the bathroom is right next to the current waste pipes. The only downside is that the shower is smaller and the room is a bit more compact.

We went to visit the house today and got some accurate measurements of the rooms.

Following the advice on here we've had a slight re-jig of things and decided to go for a wet room in the bathroom to save space removing the shower tray.

The measurements from the room sizes are bugged for some reason, the toilet, bath, sink etc are now actual size too.

Any more comments are always welcomed .
