Your Priorities in Bedroom Design
A master bedroom is not a cookie cutter space. It’s a unique area that can be customized according to your needs and preferences. Every homeowner is different. Some want a serene retreat so they can relax at the end of a long day, while others are looking to create a vibrant environment where they can prepare for a night on the town.
That’s why the first step is to identify how you want your space to function. Do you love to read? Incorporate a reading nook with bookshelf and reading light. Are you into fashion and accessories? Incorporate a walk-in closet with plenty of vanity, shelving, and storage space.
Planning Your Project
Start gathering ideas about how you would like your master bedroom to look, collecting photos and jotting down ideas. You can then share them with your Boston design-build remodeler to kick start the planning process. Consider things like the layout (where do you want the doors, windows, built-ins, closets, and en suite bathroom to go?). How will you position your furniture? What is the view you’re going for, and when does the room get the most natural light?
Functionality
Functionality should be a top priority in the planning phase. Your fantasy design may look good on paper but if it doesn’t work for you in real life, there’s no point. Your goal should be to create a relaxing space to relax, recharge, rejuvenate, and ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Light
Layered lighting is important. Your lighting plan should incorporate all types of lighting, such as natural light, task lighting (reading), ambient lighting (lamps and recessed), and statement lighting (chandeliers). This variety will help you set the mood for the space and enhance the room’s ambiance. Features such as dimmer switches, as well as combination light switches with outlet and USB port, add another layer of functionality.
Flooring
Decide whether you want carpet, hardwood, porcelain, cork, luxury vinyl tile plank flooring, or laminate. If you’re going for cozy, try carpet. If you want sleek modern luxury, try hardwood.
Smart Features
Everything is smart these days, bedrooms included. Incorporate smart technology so you can remotely control everything from the lighting and TV to the blinds and fans.
Color and Texture
Color and texture add personality and style to any master bedroom. The colors you choose can greatly impact the look and feel of the space. You can really let your personality fly in here. If you’re more conservative, go with neutrals for the walls and furniture, and add pops of colors with bedding, area rugs, and throw pillows. Incorporate texture with throws, wall weavings, wallpaper, and cushions.
Storage
Now is the time to get rid of all the clutter that’s been weighing you down. A clean, well-organized bedroom is essential in being able to be comfortable enough to unwind and sleep. It’s also important in ensuring a room that you can easily navigate and use. Upgrade your bedroom storage with a built-in or walk-in closet, for example.
In the end, your new master bedroom should be a private oasis where you can retreat to at the end of the day.
