THE MASTER SUITE: DESIGNING YOUR BEDROOM

For most clients, their Master Suite is their RETREAT, their private space to relax in. That makes it a key part of every home design!

Since it has such a big impact on the home design, and there are so many things to consider, we are going to discuss the various areas within the Master Suite over the next few articles.

The first things to discuss is LOCATION. For some clients, the location of their Master Suite isn’t a big deal. However, for others, it is VERY important. Either way, we need to know this as we get started.

CONSIDERATIONS

Where do you want your Master Suite? Are you flexible on the location, or do you want it in a specific part of your home? Is there a specific view you would like to see from your room?

Traditionally, the Master Suite is on the Main Floor. However, some clients request to have it on a different floor.

COMMON LOCATION OPTIONS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

• • Near the Garage
  • Away from the Garage
  • Near the Kids’ Rooms
  • Away from the Kids’ Rooms
