Walk in Robes & Build in Robes

In the master bedroom, the is a lot of wardrobe space. However in the second bedroom the wardrobe space is tiny. So I have two conflicting if only cancelling dilemmas, how to include wardrobe space in the second bedroom and how to use the space in the master bedroom.

In the second bedroom, I have a double door wardrobe. To increase the hanging space, I want to add a second rod to one half of the wardrobe and in the other half I want to add a four drawer (2 level stack) unit. The top of the drawer unit will also act as shelf for the wardrobe.
Measurements:
Total Cabinet: 148cm Width, 47cm Depth, height 158cm (only hanging space)
Rod length: 74 cm to be hung at a height of 78cm from ground
Drawer units: 74cm width, 47 deep and 50cm height (Ikea Malm 2 drawer unit x 2 $99 x 2) Kullen drawer unit $35 x 2

In the Master Bedroom
BIR:
The same solution as the second bedroom but with different dimensions.
Dimensions
Rod length: 88-90 cm to be hung at a height of 78cm from ground (Ikea Complement add on clothes rail $15-$30)
Drawer units: 80cm width, 47 deep and 57cm height (Ikea Malm 2 drawer unit x 2 $99 x 2)

In the Walk in robes:
I would like to keep the drawers but paint them white and add a black trim border as per the inspiration


Would have also like to add trim to the wall and add bevelled mirrors; however this will not maximize the space in the WIR. I would like to use the WIR like a dressing room, for all accessories and hanging second day clothes.

On the right wall to install a wall to top shelf shoe rack, on the right to keep the drawer unit; on top of it to now have a bag display shelf. To shorten the rod on the end wall to end at the start of the drawers. And under that to place like a trunk.

Measurements:
Shoe rack will be 94cm wide , 30cm deep and 197cm high
height for boots 40cm
height for shoes 20cm
height for sandles 15cm
7-8 shelf (2 boots, 5 shoes 1 sandle)

Bag rack will be 147cm wide, 30cm deep and 74cm high
height for each bag maybe 30cm

Ikea to buy premade besta shelfs 1 x $169 + 1 x $69 = $220
Ikby Shelfs 119cm about $25 $175-$200
Ikby $11 shelf 75cm

Bathroom Colour Scheme

So I have been very confused on the colour scheme/design for the bathrooms.

Should it be grey like


Problem with grey tiles is they have to be the right shade of grey. And it looks like it needs to extend to the ceiling. Compare the two:


The first one doesnt not look as nice as the second. The other thing I'm not sure about is if the bathroom will look alright with a white ceiling

Another grey option is like the following...soft grey painted wall, white laminate floor...with grey subway tiles






Or full white like the twlight bathroom

The problem with the white bathroom is type of tiles for the floor. The wall looks like 500 x 100 white non glossy tiles. But what do use for the floor? 600 x 600 glossy tile?

Or white like this with massive plain gloss 600 x 600 tiles on wall and floor












Instead of white tiles; other materials are also being considered:

Glass Panels, but not for floor



Or resin; but I'm not sure if they make resin wall panels (floor is about $55 psm)


Big white stone pieces


Another option for the white bathroom is to use tumbled marble




but this does not always come out nice perhaps because of the colour of the marble....ie....not white enough

or white stone


Was considering using white timber laminate for the non wet areas floor....and a white stone shower tray and white tiles in the shower wall....however it hard to find a shower tray in the size i require and it may be expensive.

Althought subway tiles will be used in the laundry and kitchen, althought perfect and beautiful I dont think they would hold up in the bathrooms and may end up looking dirty. And thats why the grey bathroom woudl be a better idea with respect to keeping it clean.


A black and white bathroom is also beautiful....but again same probably with the white tiles






I like the mirror on the following pictures for the ensuite. Even the wall to separate the toilet may be feasable.



and these


this is how the ensuite looks now
