Bigger bathroom or a bigger room?

I'm finalizing my plan for a new build currently and in a dilemma as to whether have a bigger bathroom or a bigger room.
Basically, the current room size is 3.3m by 3.6m approximately and my bathroom size is 2m*3.6m as shown in the picture below.

I'm thinking of reducing the Bed4 to 3m by 3.6m and have a bathroom size to 2.3m by 3.6m.
Is that better in the long run or does it add value to the property?

 

Reno or new build ?

 

New build.

 

Which room would you spend more time in?

 

Good question. Do you mean between the Bed4 or the Bathroom? Or all the bedrooms? I believe Bed4 would be a guest room or kids' room, so I was thinking it may not need to be big. Bathroom, on the other hand, used by everyone. So, it is used more I guess.

 

Ok, so is this a main bathroom ( w' bath) or a secondary bathroom with dual access from bed 4/ guest room ?

 

As a guest bedroom, I wouldn't have dual access to the bathroom !
If this "bathroom" is the main, then retain the bath and additional space over the "spare room" (provided it is an average size, which it seem's to be, at 3x3.5 incl robe ).

 

This is the main bathroom.

 

Thank you everyone for the response.
I am clear now. I will make the bathroom bigger - that was my instinct reaction too.

 

I do a LOT of this type of design work - making the most of tight spaces (as an Architect). My opinion - make the bathroom bigger. Bedroom at the "smaller" size is a good size 3 x 3.6 (excluding 'robe) is good (I never go below 3m). That extra 300mm in the bathroom will be helpful - think about drying after a shower, little kids in the bath and helping them...and just a bit more wriggle room...

 

Thanks for your reply. Makes me even easier to decide. Cheers.

 

There's nothing like a good wriggle

 

In terms of bathroom layout I think it could be improved.

My number 1 issue is the 720mm door to the room. If you do make the room wider then please please put an 820mm door.

Then:
- try and make shower a bit larger
- make vanity larger

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

Thanks for taking the time and sending pictures of your bathroom layout. That is helpful.

 

If really have to, is the door size I can change later on?
I've finalized the design and the builder may not agree to further get a quote and change the design.

 

easier and cheaper to do it while it's still on paper. Harder and more expensive to do when the wall is framed
