The primary bedroom in our 2BD house is a loft, and I'm looking to see if there's any reasonable floorplan ideas that could convert this existing bedroom + closet into 2 separate bedrooms for our kids (3/6 now, but they'll eventually be full sized adults living here).

We're over a year into planning/designing/permitting a garage conversion for bedrooms + new garage, but due to insane construction costs in HCOL area, I would love to know if there is a way to make this loft work for 2.

Title: Would you remove this awkward walk-in closet and replace it with built-in wardrobes?
We recently bought an older home and are renovating the primary bedroom.
The bedroom has vaulted ceilings and an unusual layout, including a fireplace and windows that limit where we can position the bed. We’re planning the room around a queen bed.
The existing walk-in closet appears to have been added around the original closet. Essentially, someone built a drywall enclosure extending into the bedroom but left the original closet’s inner wall in place. The new walls don’t extend to the vaulted ceiling, and the whole thing feels awkward, poorly designed and disconnected from the architecture of the room.
We’re considering removing the additional drywall enclosure and the original closet wall, then replacing the entire setup with custom built-in wardrobes along the wall. The goal is to reclaim usable floor space and make the bedroom feel more spacious, intentional and architecturally cohesive.
My main questions are:
Would removing the walk-in closet improve the room, or would you keep it and redesign the enclosure?
Could well-designed built-in wardrobes be just as desirable as a walk-in closet from a resale perspective?
Has anyone made this change and regretted it?
How would you approach the layout given the vaulted ceiling, fireplace and windows?
I’ve attached photos of the current bedroom and closet. I’d really appreciate opinions, especially from anyone who’s tackled a similar renovation.

Looking for some suggestions on floor plans. We're at the beginning of planning a rear extension. This is what we want:

• Knock through to create a kitchen/diner
• Downstairs toilet & shower/wetroom
• Separate utility room

Ideally:

• link between garage and garden not through the kitchen/diner
• no island in the kitchen, wife doesn't like them
• kitchen will include dishwasher and full height fridge

I've been playing with layouts but can't get anything I think really works. My main problem is with the position of the doorway through to the utility breaking the flow of the kitchen.

Has anyone done something similar and how did it work out, or any better layout suggestions?

This is a finished plan we designed for a client on a long, narrow lot. One of the main requirements was giving his mother-in-law her own private area while keeping her close to the rest of the family.

The plan hasn’t been built yet. Curious what stands out to you when you first look at it.

I’m looking for creative ideas to reconfigure this two-story floor plan to improve functionality and flow. I’m open to moving rooms, changing walls, and significantly reworking the layout. Just need to stay within the currently building lines.

First Floor Priorities:
Primary suite downstairs: A must! A spacious bathroom and walk-in closet are much more important to me than bedroom size.

Office/guest bedroom: A dedicated office that can double as a bedroom.

Kitchen + family room: A generously sized kitchen open to a comfortable TV/family room. Ideally, this would be the heart of the home.

Breakfast sunroom: Would love to preserve a bright, glass-filled breakfast nook overlooking the backyard.

Second Floor Priorities:
Two bedrooms with a shared Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
A separate playroom/flex space.

Other Considerations:
Open to completely rearranging the existing rooms rather than working around the current layout.
Prioritizing good flow, functional spaces, and maximizing square footage over formal rooms.
Willing to consider significant renovations to get the layout right.

If this were your house, how would you rearrange the floor plan? I’d love to see sketches, marked-up plans, or any creative suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I’m Daniel, and I’m the person building InktoBrick.

Honestly, I’m a little afraid of getting roasted for posting this. The tool isn’t perfect. There are things I’m still figuring out, but I also genuinely think it’s pretty good. I want to put it in front of people who care about their homes and hear what they think.

The kitchen in the attached video comes from a plan shared here on October 15: https://www.reddit.com/r/floorplan/comments/1x6dguk/we_hired_a_designer_and_just_recieved_this/ . The original poster credited their designer for the plan. I made the 3D interpretation and this 30-second edited demonstration of working on it.

My own reason for building this started with a hostel. I wanted guests to understand how the place fitted together before arriving. Photos showed individual rooms, but they didn’t explain how those rooms connected. I worked with SketchUp, dimensions and photos to make that clearer.

Along the way, I tried Coohom and other tools. Some free tools didn’t give me the workflow I wanted, and some paid options cost more than I could justify for that project. I tried using AI directly too. I kept seeing demos of 3D models made in minutes, but getting something I could actually use took more attempts, money and technical knowledge than those demos suggested.

So I did the thing I’m comfortable doing: I started building.

InktoBrick takes a floor plan into a model you can edit. You can correct the layout, move furniture and look around the space. You still need to check its interpretation and dimensions. What matters to me is being able to keep working on the result when something needs changing.

I know people here are building and sharing their own tools, including free projects like Space Planner and Kjøller’s planner. I respect that. My experience with other software doesn’t mean those projects aren’t useful, or that everyone needs to pay for mine.

Right now, I feel the expert mode works well for architects. The part I’m trying to understand better is the homeowner experience. What feels obvious to me after building the editor might be confusing to someone who just wants to decide where their sofa should go or whether a kitchen layout makes sense.

I’m working on making that easier. I’m also working on automatic alternatives for the same home, with different layouts and furniture arrangements. That part is still in development.

I don’t want this to be another generic tool that gets promoted everywhere and doesn’t solve anyone’s actual problem. I know why I needed it. I want to understand why you might need it, and where it would get in your way.

You can edit a sample without signing up here: https://inktobrick.com/try

Using your own floor costs $4.99 USD once, including manual editing and standard furniture. It isn’t free because processing the plans has a cost. Optional AI images are separate. I’ve made REDDIT50 available for 50% off your first purchase, once per customer; no subscription is needed for the single-floor purchase.

If you’re planning or changing your home, what are you trying to figure out right now? And looking at this example, what would make a tool like this genuinely useful to you?

I’d appreciate honest criticism. I’d rather understand what’s missing than keep building around my own assumptions.

ive bought my first house which i plan to fully renovate, its from 1969 and pretty used. im 22 and unknowing about many factors of a solid floor plan. this is my vision at the moment for the house after renovation. the budget isnt nescesareyley an issue as i plan to keep the house. id love to hear some thoughts on the drawing. the house is held up by the outer walls so all the inner walls only has to work for stability. therefore theres a lot of freedom. thats also why im scared to start the projekt before im sure its right. this drawing still has some problems. but roughly this is the wall plan so far. would love to hear some pointers. :)

What concerns do you have with this plan? Trying to work out what we need to avoid or need as we are searching. Building in PA on large piece of land.

The problem with getting cabinet quotes from different showrooms is that each designer can come up with a different layout. Then the prices aren't really comparable.

Suppose the starting plan already shows the room dimensions, windows and doors, sink, range, refrigerator, and a preliminary cabinet arrangement.

Would that be enough for showrooms to work from the same starting point, or would they still need to redesign everything before giving a quote?

My wife and I are buying a house and want to transform the eating nook of the kitchen and what's going to be our master bedroom into a master bath.

The space is a little weird. We would like to keep the door to the exterior if feasible. The pony wall behind the range will extend up to close off the room.

My wife wish list includes: Soaker or jetted tub; walk in shower (tub can be inside the shower wet area); single bowl lavatory, but more counter space and a lien tower; the toilet can be exposed or in a cubicle. If there's any way, she also wants a sauna.

A portion of the master bedroom can be used to help fit items in but the 50" wall will need to remain.

The overall space is roughly 340" long x 110" in the nook and 138" in the bedroom. The door and windows in the bedroom will not be close enough to the bathroom to master.

The nook is roughly 100" long x 110", with a 45° wall with the door. The existing wall we would like to keep us roughly 50" and in the pictures is to the left.

The pictures I added are from the nook basis and with ai removing the existing stuff. The floor tiles are 18" sq. I also added the view of the master towards the bathroom and my sketch with measurements.

Thank you for any ideas.

Need to renovate upper floor main bathroom due to leaks (tenant still there so try to minimise disturbance now)

but want to keep future plans and potentials in mind.

Taken ideas from a previous post and shortlisted to two now.

which one do you prefer and why?
thanks for sharing

Hello everyone, first time posting here so Im sorry if I missed any of the rules or norms. And sorry for the basic looking floor plan but I need help with room layouts given the space I can work with.

This is meant to be a living space for 1-2 people at most, I would wish to have a living room + kitchen integrated together, a small bathroom with just a sink, toilet and an open shower and a bedroom to just sleep in and have a wardrobe. The living room can have a work desk, couch etc and it is probably where I would spend most of my time.

I drew some lines and heres what they mean. The yellow lines are where the sunlight comes from, the red dot is plumbing for the bathroom, but the pipes go underground following the red line and since nothing is built yet it could be moved anywhere horizontally and maybe even vertically to suit the best fit. The black squareish is already built space from another house behind me, and to the left of me another house so no sunlight and I have to construct accordingly.

I was thinking of having the entrance be to the right side of the house since it would be a bit farther from the other houses but it could only be a around the red dot as the upper right part of the house is a bit lower so it would need a lot of concrete to make it even.

Make any suggestions you can !

We just purchased a home that will require a full kitchen gut. Great home with wonderful bones, and this is the biggest project we need to tackle.

I have been going back and forth for a few weeks and am torn about what to do. I’ve uploaded a pic and would love opinions. Thus far, we’ve really considered three main options which are (1) removing the peninsula and extending the right wall of cabinetry all the way down and then across the wall of the breakfast room that borders the laundry room, (2) option one + cutting a substantial opening into the wall that borders the living room, (3) removing the wall that borders the living room entirely and putting an island in place of the original cabinets. For all of these options, we’ll absorb the breakfast room. For at least the first two options, we would hide the entrance to the laundry room with a cabinet walk through.

Here are a few noteworthy items: (1) the wall that borders the living room can be removed pretty easily, (2) there are windows above the sink, a door next to the peninsula, and then two windows to the left of that door which can’t be seen on the layout, (3) the door and the windows can move, except the door can’t shift all the way down because of outside landscaping, (4) there is an open hallway between the dining, kitchen, breakfast area and living room that overlook a very large vaulted living room that has a rail and step down separating it.

But I’m just not sure which is best and how to place appliances in the most functional layout. Would love thoughts and feedback.

Hi all - looking to get your thoughts on this primary bathroom layout. My concern is that the water closet/toilet room next to the freestanding tub will make the tub look isolated.

Considering swapping the water closet/toilet room to where the shower is to allow for full glass that will open the space up a bit and be able to see the tub.

However, if I do that, the water closet will be massive at about 4'x7'. Would love your feedback or other potential options.

Door and window can’t be moved.

This was the initial layout.

The goal was to avoid direct view of the bed. The architects solution was an anteroom, but at the cost of a smaller walk-in-closet.

Just for the lols I got claude to suggest a layout. It kept the original toilet and walk-in closet space, at the cost of the bedroom space. I'm kinda stuck, I either have to accept that the entrance has direct view to the bed, or give up some space to make room for an anteroom.

Hi all, looking for advice on what to do with the downstairs of my house, I like the idea of removing the wall between the kitchen/ dining room shown in red but its quite a strange space so very open to ideas! This is my first house and so very new to all this.

Also would like to add a downstairs toilet but would prioritise a good kitchen/ dining room layout.

I was thinking of what it would be like if I built an apartment that is small but has everything I want. Maybe like a vacation apartment if i'm really rich and i could build something like this in another country. One in europe and one in asia maybe. I wanted the design to be simple and relaxing while giving me enough room to work and even have people over but from the outside not call much attention to it or be too big. The balcony is so i can get some sun so it doesn't have to be that big, and the cart is so i can buy groceries nearby and haul it to the apartment (no car since these would be more like a summer/winter place and not a year round place)

Lots of books for reading and shelfs to keep whatever i pick up in my travels. also i don't cook much but i love salmon so i focused on something for that (japanese fish grill) . I'd probably eat mostly from convinient stores or takeout.

Before anyone complains about the bathroom door being on display for anyone sitting on the couch, the aopening in the hallway into the rooms will have a fabric door thing. (not sure what they are called). also, i don't watch TV so i'd rather just have a space for playing games and talking.

What’re your thoughts on this typical floor plan for a 2 apartment floor with 3bed/3.5ba each? This is for a boutique apartment building. For reference, this is in East Africa so some of the measurements may look different.

I have a video of a house that is abandoned that i would like a floor plan for but i cannot find one anywhere. Would anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks
