The master bedroom is supposed to be a personal sanctuary where you can unwind after a long day. To create an atmosphere of luxury and relaxation, there are few things you’ll need to add to your master suite during a home remodel.
Essential Features of a Master Bedroom
A Comfortable Bed & Oversized Headboard
A comfortable bed is a no-brainer for your master suite. However, before choosing a new mattress, do your research on which type is a good fit for your sleeping position. For instance, a memory foam mattress is a smart choice for side sleepers because it can easily mold itself to the contours of the body.
As for the headboard, we recommend choosing an oversized one to highlight your bed, which should be the focal point. Installing an oversized headboard also has practical advantages. A larger headboard will be able to provide better support as you read a book or watch TV.
A Large Walk-In Closet
A walk-in closet is more of a necessity in a master bedroom. The extra storage space provided by a walk-in closet can help you keep things organized in your bedroom and maintain a relaxing atmosphere.
Panoramic Views
If you’re planning a comprehensive home renovation, we recommend choosing a room with great views to remodel into a master suite. Several studies have shown that views of nature can reduce stress levels. Take advantage of a great view by installing large picture windows.
A Private Bathroom
Even if you have several bathrooms in your home, a master bedroom should have its own ensuite bathroom. For added luxury, consider installing an in-floor heating system to take away the chill of a tile floor in winter.
Layered Lighting
Lighting helps set the mood in your master bedroom. In general, there are three types of lighting: ambient lighting (the primary source of lighting inside your bedroom), task lighting (for illuminating areas that have a specific function) and accent lighting (to draw attention to features you want to highlight). We recommend taking a layered approach by combining all three.
Soft, warm lighting can mimic natural sunlight, which helps you relax and preps your body for sleep. For more tips on designing a bedroom that’s conducive to relaxation, consult one of the interior remodeling contractors at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of South Valley.
