Hi there,

I would like some advise with this layout, is this possible to fit in island in kitchen area? What should be the optimize layout should be?
Normally need to have how many feets for walk way?

[attachmentid=10626811]
[attachmentid=10626812]

Can you upload a clearer layout plan as I cannot see the dimension clearly. Looking at the size of the kitchen visually, I think it is not advice to have central island in your kitchen area.

The walk way can be 750 - 900mm normally.

Hi ehwee and all sifus
This is the ground floor plan of my new house. I have not started any Reno so do ignore the cabinets and furnitures layout.
As you can see there is no common toilet which is an inconvenience.
Can you advice my options below
1) Make another door (sharing) to the current toilet in the room.
OR
2) Make another toilet some where in the house (where).

Thank You
*
If you try to have minimum cost as possible, this is the suggestion I have for you.

Firstly replace the existing toilet door onto sliding door in the guestroom.

Secondly hack a door opening and do a new swing door at kitchen.

Thirdly relocated the basin to the new position as shown below:

Hope this help!

if you believe in fungshui, you may ask master first as I said. as he will point you the position to place the altar cabinet.

may be you can put the altar either in these 2 positions I think.

Can gv some suggestion of lightning and fan placement? The bed location can’t be move coz of the feng shui matter. The blue line is a sliding door I plan to cover up with curtain.

Both room are move along but there is a beam in between, another side of room is like my entertainment room or dressing room.

Since this is a studio size unit, I suggest you using 2 different ceiling design to create 2 activity zones for better visual appearance.

means having ceiling only at sleeping area and remain expose ceiling at the other activities area.

Expose ceiling will also make ceiling higher so your studio won't feel cramp.

Can consider paint the expose ceiling into one of your favourite color to further stamp in some uniqueness for your living environment.

Play with some different lighting as shown on attached image below for you, Cheers!!

Hi Ehwee, hope you can give some advice. I will soon receive the keys to my new house and I'm planning to replace the main entrance as it is a sliding door. Any suggestions on main entrance design?

Thank you.

I suggest you replace the window at living room to main entrance door so you get a smooth direct walk flow from entrance into the rest of your home.

This way you have uninterrupted living tv area also.

Cheers !!

i suggest having the divider near living area, this way you can virtually create 2 activity zones for living and dining area.

You also have better traffic flow around dining area with this way.

Thank you very very much for the suggestions.

Between, can i ask how far normally should downlight being install away from the wall and fan?

and is it ok to install only eyeball in bedroom (sample below)

Thank you  notworthy.gif

normally eye ball wall spot lights are suggested to position 250 - 300mm from the wall line for better lighting effects.

I also reckon keep the lighting away from position right above the bed mattress, so you won't have trouble with the disturbing light glare shine above you while you are resting on the bed.

Better put the lights at the border of the bed or above bed side table.

Hi ehwee forget ask u tat the bed room as ur drawing  use downlight or eyeball yaa? What size or watt recommend ?

The sleeping area I suggest using 6 inch led downlight.

If you follow having the recessed light trough then 12w should be enough unless you prefer bright ambience then can consider 18w.

Hi ehwee,

I received the following proposed lighting plan from my contractor. Please can you kindly see if this is appropriate/too much?

user posted image

I guess my main concern is that do I really need 4 downlights for the small room and on the other hand, is 2 enough for the dining area?
*
I think the small room your contractor try to adjust and avoid the ceiling fan, it actually quite many as you said.

I will suggest go for baby ceiling fan for the small room, as it will be enough for small room light this. Then, replace the 4 downlight with 2 track light and 1 downlight at door side will do.

same as dining, can just add another track lights there to easily brighten up the space.

Cheers ! smile.gif

QUOTE(boyan @ Nov 16 2020, 10:11 AM)
Hi ehwee,

I'm trying to figure out how to best place a walk-in wardrobe in my master bedroom.

I'm leaning towards putting it on the marked area (12 x 6, or more like 6.5), but my questions / concerns would be:

1) Should I take up the whole space? Is it possible to have 2 rows of wardrobe side by side, with walkway in the middle? (e.g 2' wardrobe, 2.5' walkway, 2' wardrobe).

But this means I have to go thru the walk-in wardrobe to get to my bathroom. Would the hot water vapor get into the wardrobe and cause issues? Secondly, the side window will also be 'in' the wardrobe. What do you think?

2) If instead I opt to not to take up the whole space, but rather 12' X 4.5' (meaning 1 row of wardrobe, and another for walkway within wardrobe itself), therefore leaving another 2' for the 'walkway' to the master bath - does that make sense? This would mean I would not have to cover up the side window. Would the walk-in wardrobe be too narrow?

3) For either option above, where do you think the sliding door should be to get into the wardrobe?

4) Lastly, without any consideration to my earlier suggestions, can you let me know what would your original ideas be for walk-in wardrobe given the current master bedroom space and layout? If you can include the bed, study and TV that would be awesome! Feel free to go wild!

Instead of having a long 12'wardrobe right next to bedroom doorway, this is the layout I suggest.

you can put a exhausted fan inside the bathroom to minimize the mousture in the area. also can open up the windows at wardrobe area to let in fresh air into the area on and off too.

Hope this help!

My question is specifically for the kitchen.
I think its hidden behind the exisiting wall.

I want to break down 3 feet while also adding an island of 4 feet. (in front of the fridge)
That leaves 3 feet of wall which I'll place a 37cm deep high cabinet as pantry.
And 3 feet wide entrance into the kitchen.
Is this ok?

I will convert the study room into a tiny storage room.
Hoping I can partition this with a Bar/Alcohol cabinet.
Does that make sense?

do you mind to upload a clearer house plan from your S&P as the image link you sent are not clear enough.

If you can explain more detail on what you intend to do will be better also, as I afraid might not fully understand what you intended to ask.

Wow interesting! That layout never crossed my mind at all! Will discuss with missus. She seems quite worried about the moisture. I've no experience, so wondering if it's truly something I should look out for.

Thanks!!!

if you open up your windows in the bedroom frequently normally there won't be moisture issue.

If you want to double secure, consider having plywood base wardrobe instead of melamine base, that will help too thumbup.gif

Obviously you are trying to promote your website here which I don't mind.

Better yet, if you can open up a new post and provide these great design ideas for us, I am sure all lowyat members will be looking for it.

Hope it helps you too.

Hey ehwee.. going through the thread. Good stuff for inspirations.
Got a question, im planning to install plaster ceiling, and a full height wardrobe. Can the full heigh go up to the original ceiling? So i can get that extra 2ft storage that the plaster ceiling already covering. But of course the opening is below the plaster ceiling. So u open up the top compartment, youd get a huge space above.
Do i need to install the wardrobe first? Or the plaster ceiling? Plaster ceiling contractor build around the wardrobe, or wardrobe contractor cut the plaster ceiling.
*
Not to say can't do it, as anything is possible with proper construction detail and methods.

Most people won't do this because these is many things need to take care to achieve nice joint finishing, if not done properly you will see uneven joints and ceiling crack line between the edges of ceiling and the cabinet.

If really need to do it, better discuss the jointing details and construction schedule with contractor and make sure their done in proper sequence.

Of course the cabinet should be up first then follow by the ceiling.

Tips for you - can consider putting a C channel on the joint edging of ceiling and cabinet for professional looks joint line.

Hope this help.

Sorry, let me clarify smile.gif

1) The kitchen is my concern here.
I feel that the kitchen is hidden behind the wall.
Hence I have an idea of breaking down part of the wall and adding in an island. What do you think of my proposed layout?

Looking forward to your suggestion or how you would do it too smile.gif

If you place the bar counter like this, the passage going into kitchen area will be very narrow, the walk floor within your home as a result will be like the diagram I indicated below:

In order to have better flow and wider spatial perception, I will suggest you to rotate the counter as layout below which will help to make use of the space better.

Hope this help! nod.gif
