I'm looking at this house that has a lot going for it, but doesn't have an en suite bathroom. Do you think we could relocate the closets in the primary and put an en suite backing up to the bath without ruining the size of the primary bedroom? The en suite is awesome for privacy so you can just walk out of the bathroom bare and get dressed in your bedroom.
However all our kids prefer to use our nicer shower over all other bathrooms in the house. No, put the stairs and corridor down the other side of the back bedroom. Put a new door into the shower room and close up the old one.
Might have to rejig the bathroom suite but still easier than finding a soilstack for the proposed en-suite permalink embed save parent [-] [deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 months ago (0 children). After a couple of nights I'd moved my toothbrush etc to the main bathroom and banned my husband from pooing in the en suite. At home we have two bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs.
We're planning to gut our bathrooms soon and I kind of want to go back to this original floorplan to give my son's bedroom 3 feet extra of space, have a MUCH smaller primary en suite with a large walk-in closet, but is it better to have a larger bathroom or larger closet? Archived post. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. En-suite would be used to refer to a bathroom attached directly to any bedroom, and also applicable to hospitals and hotels.
If the bathroom is attached to the largest ("master") bedroom of a house, it would usually be called a master bath. I'm genuinely going to miss my en-suite when I move to shared bathrooms in next year's accom. There's something comforting and reliable about knowing exactly what goes on in my own bathroom, plus it being directly attached to my room is super convenient.
I ended up completely gutting the ensuite of my new house project, widening it by 12", recessing the floor for a curbless shower and redoing 100% of all the plumbing and electrical. I used the pre-fabbed sloped pan, cement board with Mapei AquaDefence and fibreglass mesh for all corners and edges. Installed heated floors up to the shower (not into).
Pretty happy with the results, thought you. All other bedrooms get wardrobes. The hall bath will become the ensuite after moving plumbing and door.
I moved 3's door down and made the new ensuite bathroom longer. Bedroom 2 and 4 get shrunk, bed 4 by a lot to make the new hall bath. It would be a lot cheaper to lose a bedroom.
The build takes us to 4bed and the idea was an en-suite on the one bedroom. I'm now thinking to separate the toilet to its own space and have the larger bathroom for a bath and a large shower.
