One minor thing you may wish to think of - the internal doors slam automatically and make a loud noise. Some door frame liners/softeners may help with this.

1) A small rack placed inside the en-suite shower for holding user items: gel, spounge, flannel, soap etc would be helpful. 2) A dish rack on the kitchen sink for holding tea cups,side plates,etc after light washing and which do not need, or justify the use of the dishwasher.
