Many people dream of having their own walk-in closet, just like the protagonists in TV shows and movies. However, the ideal is often far from reality; exorbitant housing prices and cramped living spaces make a walk-in closet a luxury.
Some people convert the attached bathroom of the master bathroom into a walk-in closet. This is certainly a viable option, but is turning the master bathroom into a walk-in closet suitable for your home?
In the following situations, don't hesitate, just choose the master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom!
1. There are many family members, and they have to queue to use the toilet in the morning.
For families with many members, having only one bathroom can definitely impact their quality of life. Adults get up early for work, and children get up early for school; with only one bathroom, waiting in line is unavoidable. This waiting time is costly, wastes time, and reduces overall efficiency.
2. Three generations living together can cause inconvenience.
In a three-generation family living together, sharing a single bathroom can be inconvenient for using the toilet and showering, and hygiene can be difficult to guarantee. With a private bathroom in each room, you can use it for as long as you want without worrying about privacy; moreover, when guests come over, the master bathroom and guest bathroom will not disturb each other's rest.
3. Those who have a young baby or are planning to have a baby
If you have a baby at home or are planning to have a baby, you will inevitably have to get up at night to clean and take care of the baby. Having an ensuite bathroom in the master bedroom can make things more convenient and avoid disturbing the sleep of other family members.
The bathroom attached to the master bathroom is usually an interior bathroom with no window, so you need to pay attention to these issues: air circulation, lighting, and odor.
If you're someone who only needs one bathroom, consider a wet and dry separation design with the sink outside. This allows you to wash your face, brush your teeth, and use the toilet simultaneously, saving a lot of waiting time and improving the bathroom's efficiency.
If any of the following situations apply, you can also choose to convert the ensuite bathroom of the master bedroom into a walk-in closet.
1. Few permanent residents in the household
If there are fewer than 4 people living in the house, there is basically no possibility of fighting for the toilet, so you can consider converting the master bedroom's bathroom into a walk-in closet.
2. The home has a large storage need and one bathroom is sufficient.
Families who follow trends and young people living in cities have many clothes, hats, and accessories, and therefore have a great need for storage.
3. The bathroom faces the bed, and unpleasant odors can affect sleep.
The bathroom door faces the bedroom bed directly. Converting the bathroom into a walk-in closet can reduce the stench and, more importantly, resolve the feng shui issues.
When converting a space into a walk-in closet, it's important to pay attention to waterproofing and moisture prevention. If there's noise from the drainage pipes in the space, noise reduction measures should also be taken during the conversion.
Having said all that, when it comes to the design of the master bedroom, do you prefer the master bathroom or the walk-in closet?
