3 Architect-Approved Ideas for How to Renovate the Perfect Bedroom
If you stop to think about it, we spend a third of our lives sleeping, so the bedroom is a very important part of a home. Your bedroom is your personal space and as such should be made to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Taking on any project is always a challenge, but we have found that having a clear notion of what you are looking for as an end result is very helpful. Weather you are looking to make your master bedroom larger, add a sitting area or work space, even add a reading nook, these all need to be well planned in order to have a great result.
Space
A common request we get from our clients is to have a large master bedroom with an on-suite walk-in closet and wonderful large bathroom. In an ideal world we would all have a big master bedroom, but space doesn’t always permit it. What is important is that you make the best of the space you have. We always strive to maximize the existing bedroom and whenever possible utilize an adjacent room or closet to make the room bigger or create a walk-in closet.

Light
When enlarging an existing area is not possible, look into bringing in an extra window or replacing the current one with a larger version to bring in more light. A brighter room has a positive impact and becomes more inviting. If neither of these options are possible look into replacing the light fixtures to enhance the lighting. It is very impressive how lighting affects the feel of a space.

Tones
As with the rest of the home, the master bedroom should have a style that makes it feel inviting. Colors are a big part of this effect. Choosing the colors and materials for your flooring and walls will both enhance and compliment your renovation. Utilizing a color throughout the room gives the space a sense of continuity and makes it feel bigger than cutting it up with too many changes. Neutral tones are great as a base which allows you to add details in other colors.
