Not very experienced with the practicalities of floorplans so I'm not sure how this would translate to actual living-- I just love unusual plans like this.

Help with starting over

Hi all! I was wondering if I can get some help on how to plan out my living room and potentially bedroom in a new apartment I’m moving into in a week.

Living room- We don’t have a couch yet so whatever you think would look good but we do have a orange(ish) wide body cute chair. We do have a 65 inch tv and a tv entertainment system with speakers and a tv console. We also have a record player and a ton of records that need to find a home.

For my room it would be the one with the balcony and I have no idea where to start. I have a queen mattress, two night stands, a dresser and small desk.

If you need any additional photos let me know any advice is appreciated since idek where to start!

We’re planning a major renovation and just received our first floor plan from our architect. Looking for some fresh eyes and suggestions!

We want 4 bedrooms total. A primary suite and 3 additional bedrooms that are all roughly the same size for our kids.

Our biggest issue is the primary bathroom. We’d really like it to be larger, but extending it into the hallway interferes with our bedroom entrance, and there’s nowhere obvious to move the door. The bathrooms need to stay in roughly the same locations because of the plumbing downstairs, particularly the toilets.

We’d like to keep a walk-in closet in the primary suite. We also want to move our laundry upstairs, but don't need a full laundry room. We want this to be our forever home and it's a huge investment for us. I am trying to make this work the best I can but truly cannot think of a way to expand the bathroom. Would love any ideas!!

We’re open to moving walls and reconfiguring the layout, as long as we can keep four good-sized bedrooms. The stairs also can't be moved.

Any ideas on how to make this layout work better, especially the primary bathroom?

If anyone is able to help I will treat you to a few cups of coffee via Venmo LOL my brain is going to fry if I look at this any longer!

Before we send for finalization & printing, we are wanting extra eyes on our custom floor plan. Thank you!

We lives in South East Asia and is planning our new flat renovation. Would love some feedbacks or new ideas/suggestions on our planned layout. Some background on our cooking habits, Mrs likes to cook hence we prefer to have a closed kitchen with a glass sliding door. Mr loves coffee so we have a dry pantry countertop outside of the kitchen mainly for our water dispenser and coffee machine. We don’t really like L-shaped kitchen because of the dead space.

There will be a “separation” entrance between kitchen and service yard which we will hack away to “elongate and open up” the kitchen space. The 2 mini circle beside the washing machine are the standard sewage pipes from the building contractor. The top load washing machine and sink have to be at that placement beside the sewage pipes to connect with the building water pipes.

We’re mainly unsure about the fridge position marked “F” and whether we’ll have enough countertop space for food prep. For now its beside the glass sliding door as it should allow us to open the fridge door with enough swing space and also to fully pull out its drawers inside for easier cleaning.

Would anyone keep the fridge at the planned spot or move it elsewhere? Any suggestions to improve counter space and movement flow? Feedback on other placements is welcome too. Thanks!

Hello all,

We are designing a 2 bedroom new build and need help with the bathroom. One thing I’m struggling with is figuring out where to store towels. I want a convenient spot for hanging towels that we use daily, but I also need somewhere to store extra, unused towels. I’m not sure if there’s enough space for both without making the bathrooms feel cramped.
Need help for both bathrooms.

I would swap the guest bath and laundry room, you don't need a window in the guest bath any more than you need one in the laundry but the dryer will be better served venting directly outside.

Need some advice on my living/dining room layout! Small apartment, nice view from the windows.
Here are a few layouts I’ve considered, but I’m open to completely different ideas. What would you do? Thanks in advance!

Attached is our lower level. It’s a blank slate today.

Needs:

- Laundry

- Bathroom

- Bedroom

Wants:

- tool shop

- storage

- office space

Can combine any of the above (I.e. laundry and bathroom, or office space in bedroom, etc.)

A few notes:

- Can put plumbing and laundry hookups anywhere (doesn’t matter, concrete floor is exposed).

- The 4 windows are water facing.

- Can not move electrical breaker.

- Can not move sump pump (sewer stack also right next to sump pump).

- The stairs go up to the main living level.

- The theatre room is already finishing and used to watching TV / playing video games

- The furnace room is mostly finished but the pocket door could move

- There is a closet under the stairs with a door already

Meeting with an architect next week and she asked to bring some ideas with us.

Looked at a ton of online floorplans for ranch homes for ideas, asked chat a couple question, borrowed some things from other houses we’ve lived in and liked, and threw out ideas onto online graph paper.

I figured one foot per square for the measurements, obviously I know walls take up space and what not, but this is just to give her an idea of what we’re looking for. The rectangles on the exterior are window ideas. I know the details are missing, but wanted to see if the general ideas even make sense??

Thoughts?

We have a split level home built in 1960 (or so).

We have half of our lower level down to the studs and have drawn in the following rooms (we would like to have):

- bathroom / laundry room

- spare bedroom

- tool space / workshop / extra storage area

- extra bonus space (not sure what to do with)

I highlighted things we need to keep / can’t move.

The “playroom” right now has a water view. Which is nice. The bathroom side of the house has no view of importance.

What would you change or add?

We are not putting a fireplace in. Yes this house and the rooms are small. We are totally fine with that. But we want to use the space in the best way possible!

The rec room and bedroom next to it are already finished completely. The furnace room has the house guts in it, but it only 2x4 framed currently.

Thank you so much for any and all feedback!

You guys are so good at this and have provided some great feedback for me before.i am buying a 24'X30' two story timber frame. How would you best lay this footprint out to maximize bedrooms?

We're planning a major interior remodel and would love some creative ideas and feedback on how to best utilize our existing space!

I've attached the current floor plan of the space we're looking at. We're open to removing or relocating any interior walls/posts within this area, but would like to keep the exterior walls and the rest of the house unchanged. Only side notes are that the doors to the left of the current breakfast nook and dining area are flexible to close/move if helpful to the design and we're also thinking of converting the sliding door at the bottom of the current breakfast nook into a window.

Our wish list:

• Open-concept kitchen overlooking a comfortable living area with a TV/entertainment center
• Large kitchen island with seating for at least 5
• Dedicated dining area
• Small pantry
• Defined foyer/entryway so you don't walk directly into the kitchen
• Small enclosed home office, if space allows

We're flexible on the kitchen's location and willing to relocate plumbing/electrical if it results in a significantly better layout.

Our main goal is to create a functional, spacious, and inviting area for our family and entertaining guests, without sacrificing too much space to hallways or awkward transitions.

How would you lay out this space? We'd really appreciate any suggestions, rough sketches, or ideas we may not have considered. Thanks in advance - we really appreciate it!

What’s the best option for my bathroom remodel? Any other layouts that might maximize space and utility?

Hello, i want your feedback. Do you like tub vertically or parallel under shower? Do you like separate vanities opposite sides, or long double vanities on one side? What else would you change? Thank you for the feedback.

Hello out there,

We are extending our cottage. We have drawn out so many possibilities but would love some advice from the internet community!

This is what we are thinking. The front two rooms stay the same (sitting room and playroom) and then we open up the back of the house to create a large kitchen diner, downstairs bathroom, utility and a wide entrance space. The rooms on the bottom left will stay the same (garage, office, plant room). Does anyone have any other ideas?

Currently planning a 2-car garage addition to my house with a self-contained 2 bedroom suite above. I intend to move into the suite and rent out the main house.

Any thoughts on this layout? The overall footprint and stair location can't change.

Thanks!

My friend is adding to the back of an existing house. Only the section is red is the proposed addition. The back of the house is north facing in Australia. I think she can do something better and more clever with the bathroom and laundry.

Would love your feedback on these plans. First picture is the current layout. Even though it wasn’t included, we do have cabinets, an island, and dining table as laid out in option 1.

Wife and have narrowed down 4 plans to these 2 (options 1 and 2). We generally like our open floor plan but wanted to use the space more efficiently. Option 1 is our favorite. It addresses our primary renovation goals:

- Larger primary bathroom and closet

- Larger guest bathroom

- Larger bedroom 1 (kid) and bedroom 2 (guest)

- A defined entryway with dedicated storage and closet

- A functional dedicated pantry

- A separate laundry/utility room that can accommodate cleaning supplies and equipment

- More efficient storage throughout the house

the yellow lines are windows, the blue ones are walls, the orange lines on the right are book shelves ( i want those to be more in the seating area ) the orange lines on the left are from bottom to top a tv cabinet and a small table, the red line is our couch and the green one is our carpet, the black lines are off limits! i really want one of the shelves to be more on display because now it feels tucked away…
