7 Tips for Turning Your Master Suite Into an Amazing Retreat

The master bedroom is a special place in most homes, requiring some planning and effort to get just the right look. This is a room for comfort and relaxation, and function is generally not the main consideration. That means the emphasis is on making the right design decisions, such as layout, colors the furniture, and even the selection of bedding. The functional aspects such as storage and seating contribute to the comfort of the space. The following features will help you to make the most of your master suite.

1. This is an attractive design feature that enhances the look of a room but it also provides warmth on cold nights.
2. Walk-in closet. This increases the value of the home and eliminates storage problems in the master suite. With enough planning, and if you have enough space, the walk-in closet can also serve as a dressing room.
3. Large windows. A master bedroom should have plenty of light in the daytime so consider putting in larger windows. With UV shielding you can keep out the heat for a cooler interior and lower energy bills. Floor-to-ceiling windows can have a dramatic impact on the look of the room.
4. Adding a balcony is a great way to keep you connected to the outdoors. You can have the best of both worlds, whether you choose to relax in the master bedroom or enjoy the fresh air outside.
5. Update the master bath. If you have an adjoining master bathroom, it deserves some attention as well. Turn it into a mini spa with earthy tones and the right fixtures and amenities. Consider a free-standing soaking tub or a Jacuzzi, a walk-in shower with dual showerheads, and mood lighting.
6. Update the lighting. With so many attractive lighting fixtures available, it will be easy to find one that illuminates and adds to the room’s décor. A chandelier can brighten the space while adding a luxurious touch. If the ceiling is not high enough to accommodate this, other good options for the master suite include swooping lights, sconces, and pendants.
7. Add a rug. Having a rug that surrounds the bed gives you a warm place to put your feet when you get up. Look for colors and patterns that will complement the overall décor.

If you are remodeling your master bedroom, you can find ways to incorporate your personal tastes. It is not just about comfort, it also has to do with making the room a reflection of you. If the budget is tight, start with the smallest changes and continue to make improvements over time.
