Primary Suite Features to Consider

Sitting Areas

You are meant to relax in your bedroom and setting up a lounge area is the perfect way to do so. A separate seating area makes the space feel extra luxurious as if you were cozying up with a good book on a retreat.

Desk Space

An office nook is a great way to utilize space. Even if you don’t often bring your work home with you, a small desk area is a great space to perform daily tasks or get busy with a hobby.

Fireplaces

Fireplaces are perhaps the coziest focal point a room could have. A cackling fire delivers a certain ambiance while you relax in your bedroom.

Small Appliances

One of the best ways to add luxury to your bedroom is by adding convenience! This is often done by adding small appliances like microwaves and mini fridges to the space. Coffee bars are also growing in popularity for those that need their caffeine.

Where to Locate the Primary Suite

If you are designing a custom home from scratch and want to include a primary suite, you may be wondering where the best place is to locate it. Should it go on the first floor or the second floor. Traditionally, primary bedrooms and primary suites have been located upstairs, since that part of the house is usually the most private and is far from the kitchen and main living area. That is beginning to change, however. More and more homeowners are looking toward the future, when they might be less mobile, and are starting to build primary suites and primary bedrooms on the first floor. In fact, a first-floor bedroom is an essential principle of universal design. Some homeowners are even building houses with two primary suites, expecting to use the upstairs one when their children are small and then moving to the downstairs one if climbing stairs ever becomes difficult.
