Walk in wardrobe or a shower ensuite?

Julia Stacey

zuletzt bearbeitet:vor 7 Jahren

My main bedroom is huge, it is built into the loft space and so has 3 sloping walls. It currently has a shower cubicle (with curtain - yuck) with a large (mid '90's diy ) wardrobe; both of which are ghastly and in dire need of attention. What is a better option, do I take out the existing shower (which currently leaks so is unusable) and have a large feature walk in wardrobe or do I have a small ensuite shower room built and a fitted wardrobe in front? The house is 4/5 bedrooms and so I have 2 other bathrooms, one is situated in an annex and the other is a family bathroom.

    If you don't have another bathroom on this level then keeping an en-suite will be more desirable and so add value to the property. However if this is your forever home, you never use the shower room and you've always dreamed of a walk in wardrobe then go for it!

      I agree with Lauren, the en-suite will probably be more desirable when you come to sell, but if you wouldn't use it and need the storage space then a walk-in wardrobe is the obvious choice. I would sugest a compromise if you go down this route would be to, if possible, keep or install the plumbing now so that it could be easily changed at a later date should you or a future owner desire.

      Have a small en-suite and wardrobe in front. Though you may not love your current ensuite they do add value and are useful. In a large 4/5 bed home people expect an en-suite. It is your home and what suits you best is right no matter my view.

      If you don't need another bathroom then go for the walk in wardrobe/dressing room area. Like Stephen said, keep the plumbing - that way you an always change your mind. Or... If the area is really big you could always try to fit both in :)

      Hi - without seeing a floorplan it's hard to suggest a best-of-both-worlds solution - but here goes! If you have one clear run of wall (no doors or windows that are needed in the main space), then consider a new wall along the width or length of the room with two doors, the first to a walk-in wardrobe and the second to your ensuite, so the ensuite and wardrobe are back-to-back). This looks much neater than the usual corner-ensuite which can look a bit "guest house".

      Do you just have a shower up there ie no toilet? I wouldn't bother with an en suite unless it had a toilet and sink too. But my preference would be en suite if possible

      I have decided to get both options priced, but it does seem that I just might have a structural issues with installing a complete en suite due to the direction of the joists, which was why I was thinking of shower and basin room. However, I will 'ask the question' and decide on the answers. I love the idea of my own space and private area so the idea of a full en suite really does appeal to me; but it has to be practical and achievable. The family bathroom is directly next to my room so my ensuite is a luxury not a necessity. Thank you for all your replies, it has given me some ideas and thoughts.
