House remodelling advice. Whose idea is best?

[LurksNoLonger]

Having loft done soon and I think whilst we are at it, it would be good to the first floor more balanced. Currently we have two pretty big bedrooms, one ridiculously huge one with an en-suite and a titchy bathroom (barely room to swing a cat). Husband thinks we should leave it as is as only our 3 kids will be using it (we are moving up to the loft) but I think the space will be best used by rejigging a bit to steal room from the huge bedroom to create a nice sized family bathroom with double sinks and separate bath and shower and change the current family bathroom to make an en-suite bathroom for our eldest. He says they are just better off with bigger bedrooms. What would you do? Very poorly amended plans attached 😁😁

Your idea definitely better although I might be tempted to keep the bit where the new loo is for the big bedroom and make a large wardrobe with that bit, just have a single big bathroom for the two bedrooms on that floor rather than a big bathroom and a separate loo.

What about having a smaller bathroom than in your second drawing, but adding in a dressing room area for the master?

Having a separate dressing room is fantastic - if one person has to get up early they don't disturb the other by turning on main lights etc. I would value that more than having an enormous second bathroom.

Although i guess if its your kids bedrooms that won't apply!

Even so, a dressing area would add value.

It looks like very expensive work considering all the plumbing and tiling etc, and it won’t add value to the house. You’re losing the master suite and adding an en-suite to a smaller bedroom.

Thanks for replies. Sorry - maybe the pic is a bit deceiving. There is a large double bedroom at top of pic too that would become main bedroom on the floor with en-suite. @womanwithaltitude, the bedroom you can’t see has a bit that is not quite a walk-in wardrobe, but similar and we have a monster dressing room going into the loft - it was one of my must haves 😁😁😁

To clarify, here is other part of picture I cropped out. The top bedroom will be main bedroom on that floor, but the whole loft area is being converted (50 cubic metres) with large bedroom, bathroom, dressing room and landing, so the idea is to make the rest of the house more balanced as our bathroom upstairs will be around three times the size of the current family bathroom, which DH doesn’t think matters, but I think will make the house feel a bit top heavy...
