The primary bedroom in a home is a space that needs to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The main bedroom is usually the biggest room in the house with the most closet space. But if you have a small or underutilized primary bedroom, you may be looking for an upgrade.
Whether you’re having a custom home built or just need a remodel of your existing master bedroom, these tips from Richardson Brothers Custom Homes will help you design a space you love.
Tip 1: Think About How Much Room You’ll Need
Before designing your new primary bedroom, you’ll want to take into consideration how much room you’re going to need. If You’re building an entirely new home, you may have to decide how much of the square footage can realistically be devoted to the primary bedroom.
Or, if you’re doing a remodel, you’ll have to determine if extra space can be added or if you’ll need to reduce the size of another room.
Tip 2: Design the Room With Furniture in Mind
When picking the design and square footage of your new primary bedroom, you’ll want to think about the furniture you need to fit into the space.
For example, if you want a king bed, you’ll need to tell your home contractor about the dimensions. Consider how much furniture you’ll want in the room and how much space you want to move around.
Tip 3: Figure Out the Master Bath Design
Often, homeowners want to design the main bedroom and bathroom at the same time. Most people enjoy a primary bedroom leading directly into a private bathroom. If your current master bedroom isn’t connected to a bath, you may also want to remodel the bathroom.
When designing a custom home, you can consider how the primary bedroom and bathroom work together. You may want a big shower, tub, or both. Luckily, the design team at Richardson Brothers Custom Homes can make your vision a reality.
Tip 4: Remember the Importance of Lighting
When planning your ideal primary bedroom, you don’t want to forget about the lighting. Having natural light in the space will make it feel more comfortable and beautiful. Also, you’ll want to ensure you install enough light fixtures to keep the room bright, but you may also want the ability to add mood lighting.
Tip 5: Factor in Privacy
Many homeowners want to have a good deal of privacy for their primary bedroom. If you’re having a new home built, consider privacy when deciding on the location of the primary bedroom. You may want to put this space further away from other bedrooms or on the second floor to get more privacy from neighbors.
