Many homeowners want to redo their master bedroom because it’s where they spend the most time getting ready, relaxing, and sleeping. It can be challenging to know what to include in the home design plan, as there are several ways to enhance the space. If you want to tackle this remodeling project, here are a few ideas to help spark inspiration.

How to Elevate a Master Bedroom

1. Install a Skylight

Add a skylight in the bedroom to bring in more natural light. This feature is ideal for dark rooms with few windows, as it’ll create an airier space. A skylight will also decrease your utility costs because the extra light it provides will minimize your reliance on artificial illumination.

2. Create a Walk-In Closet

Take space from an adjacent linen closet to create a spacious walk-in closet. Add adjustable shelving to accommodate shoes, long dresses, suits, and pants. To elevate the space, add recessed lighting, as well as a mirror, chair, or rug to make the closet feel intentional, custom, and luxurious.

3. Add a Lounge Area

Use an existing picture window, or add one, to brighten the lounge area and give it a pretty view of the yard. Install a bench under the window and have it double as storage for bedroom throw pillows and blankets. Alternatively, you can put a daybed near the window to create a comfy place to read and relax.

4. Open the Floor Plan

Knock down a non-load-bearing wall to enlarge the room. An open floor plan will help the space feel airier and make the bedroom more functional and luxurious. Turn the new space into an office area, vintage-inspired boudoir, or anything else you want. You can also use the additional square footage for bulky furniture and essentials, like a couch and chair or exercise equipment.
