Master Bedroom Remodeling Ideas For A Restful Sanctuary

Creating the perfect master bedroom means balancing function and style. Here are some construction techniques for creating a relaxing sanctuary!

Our master bedroom is ideally a private sanctuary and a retreat where we go to rejuvenate our body, mind, and spirit. Creating the perfect atmosphere is more than simply placing a bed in a room. It's a mix of design and construction techniques that can take your bedroom to the next level of comfort, style, and function.

Let's explore some construction tips and techniques to create your perfect master bedroom remodeling.

What's Important To You in a Bedroom Design?

A master bedroom is not a one-size-fits-all type of space. Some people prefer a serene retreat to relax at the end of the day, while others want a vibrant environment and a place to get ready for a night on the town. Identifying how your space will function is the first step. If you love reading, a bookshelf and reading light near the bed might be a part of your design. If you have cherished items you love to display, shelving might be a key feature. Whatever your preferences, identifying how you will use your space is the first step.

Planning Your Master Bedroom Remodeling Project

Collect photos of what you like and gather ideas to share with your design-build remodeler. This can be a great way to help in the planning process. Think about the room's layout. Where will you position the doors, windows, closets, built-ins, and en suite bathroom? Think about where you'll position your furniture. Do you have a beautiful view? Can you position the bed to take advantage of it? Does the room give you the natural light you need? You may want to widen or reposition the windows. Working with a design-build professional can help you nail down the design of your new space.

Consider Functionality

When planning your space, keep functionality top of mind. If your room doesn't work for you, especially if it's your forever home, it can become one of life's irritations. Your ultimate goal is to create a place to relax, rejuvenate, and get a good night's sleep.

Layers of Light

One crucial feature in any bedroom remodeling is the room's lighting. Creating a layered lighting plan is important. Include plenty of natural light, task lighting for reading, ambient lighting like lamps and recessed ceiling lighting, and statement lighting like a luxurious chandelier. Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood of your space and enhancing the ambiance of a bedroom. Consider features like dimmer switches, and if you love to read, include a reading light with a dimmer switch near the bed. A light switch with an outlet and USB port, adds functionality for charging devices without getting out of bed. Think comfort and functionality!

Flooring Choices

Like lighting, your flooring significantly affects your bedroom's comfort level, look, and budget. Some popular bedroom flooring options include carpet, hardwood, cork, porcelain, luxury vinyl tile plank flooring, and wood laminate.

Add Creature Comforts

A bedroom remodeling is the perfect time to harness the power of technology. Modern technology has evolved. Today, you can do almost anything, from turning on the TV to adjusting your lighting and sound to opening and closing your blinds using voice control. Your design-build contractor can help you to create a smart bedroom by incorporating this technology into your remodel.

Incorporating Color and Texture

Color and texture can give your room personality and style. Wall color can make a huge difference, and your choice of color can impact how you feel in the space. In a large bedroom, you can be bolder with color choices. If your personal style leans toward neutral tones, you can introduce color in your bedding and linen choices. Consider adding a rug or bringing in textured throws, wall weavings, cushions, and wallpaper.

Add a Sitting Area or Reading Nook

If your bedroom is larger, a sitting area or window seat can be a great way to add a functional zone for reading, hobbies, or just getting away from the kids for a while. One option is creating a small work area that's a perfect alternative to your bed for working on your computer, checking emails, or charging devices.

Don't Forget to Add Storage

A bedroom remodeling is the perfect opportunity to get rid of the clutter. A clean and well-organized bedroom is the perfect space to unwind and sleep. Upgrading your bedroom storage with a professionally designed built-in or walk-in closet can give you a place for extra blankets, books, clothes, and other personal items. Something as simple as a storage ottoman at the end of your bed can give you a comfy place to sit and hide the extra blankets!

Your master bedroom is a private oasis where you can escape the stresses of your day. Remodeling your master bedroom is the perfect time to create a space that meets all your needs, looks beautiful, and is the ideal space to relax, rejuvenate, and rest.
