Master Bedroom Must-Haves 


Primary or master bedrooms provide a whole lot more than an opportunity to get a good night’s rest. It’s a place to recharge as a parent, enjoy entertainment, read, relax, dress, and soak in the adjoining bathroom tub when the need arises. 

Since the onset of the pandemic, many bedrooms have also become at-home offices and workout spaces. Therefore, the pressure is on for primary bedrooms to be everything to everyone. 

That’s why we have created a luxury bedroom remodel must-have list. Check out some of the ideas you may want to consider if you are renovating your primary bedroom in the near future. 

A Custom Fireplace 

Living in New England means long, cold winter nights and cool fall evenings. There is nothing like the mesmerizing sound of the crackle of a fireplace or the soft glow illuminating a bedroom during those chilly months. 

Picture your dream bedroom with a stone fireplace or gas inset that can lull you to sleep each night. Some gas fireplaces are programmable so you won’t even have to get out of bed to shut it off. Set the timer for 30 or 60 minutes and enjoy the sounds and smells of the fire. 

If you choose a wood-burning fireplace you will enjoy the scent of the woodsmoke and feel like you are wrapped in a cozy blanket of warmth. 

Custom Closets 

There are endless choices when it comes to the style and type of closet(s) you may want in your primary bedroom. Walk-ins, his-and-hers, open concept, or a dressing closet are all options you will want to explore depending upon your needs and aesthetic preferences. 

Closets have come a long way from the one-size-fits-all of our parent’s generation. Now closets can be customized for the style of clothing, footwear, and accessories you often use.

Sitting/Entertainment Area

Bedrooms are for a whole lot more than sleeping. 

Many homeowners prefer a sitting area where they can read, relax or get away from it all. Some homeowners want a space where they can watch television or a movie of their choice and not fight over the remote control. 

Therefore, a sitting or entertainment area with some comfortable chairs or loungers is a great choice for a must-have bedroom remodel. 

Lighting Options 

Good lighting can create the perfect mood in a bedroom whether you are looking for full illumination for dressing or reading, or something a little more romantic or relaxing. 

When choosing a light for your master bedroom be sure to have many options including task lighting at a desk or workspace, general illumination such as sconces or pendant lights, and lighting that can be dimmed such as recessed lighting. The options are endless and what you choose can create the mood you want in your dream bedroom suite. 

Detailed Ceilings 

Ceilings are often a forgotten surface when it comes to bedrooms. This space can be the perfect place to add detailed interest and draw the eye up, thus making your bedroom appear more spacious and luxurious. 

From wooden beams and cathedral ceilings to coffered and tray ceilings, don’t forget about this space that can bring your bedroom to that luxurious next level of elegance and relaxation.
