Hi,
I just got a small 2/1 house with a future possibility to extend and add 1/1.
The current 1 bath is really small so want to reconfigure the 2/1 space now and move in and then plan for the 1/1 later.
need some ideas and comments for the design options I came up with. please help.
Original: Upper Left
Bathroom too small (5x7)
small bedroom door is not opened against wall - 18" in gap behind the door
Both bedroom closets are narrow (half wall) but very deep (3')
Option 1: Upper Right
1. push bathroom out (5x10)
2. Move small bedroom door to be against the wall
3. Optionally build a back to back full wall closet for the 2 bedrooms
Pros: least change
no change to bigger bed except the closet door
Cos: hard to access future bedroom (can only access from kitchen)
Option 2: lower left
1. Use current closet area (4'10" wall) and eat in smaller bed to create a brand new bath
2. get rid of current bath
3. add full hall way closet
Pros: future access to master bed is easier
cons: small bed is really small
Don't know where to put closets for both bedrooms yet
Option 3: lower middle
similar to option 2 but move bathroom to the end of the hall
Small bed will lose windows and need to open one
Option 4: Lower right
on top of option 3
get rid of the small closet of big bedroom to make a door
build back to bac closets between bedrooms
Pros: flow seems good, "reasonable" closet and bedroom size, future access is easier
Cons: How much will that cost ?
please share your ideas...
thanks a lot
