Raising the ceiling in your master suite makes the space seem grander without changing the actual size of your bedroom. Some homeowners add rustic wood beams to their vaulted ceiling for an even more dramatic effect.
If you do enlarge your master suite's footprint, you won't regret it. A large master suite not only makes your retreat even more inviting, it also adds value to your home.
What's better than one amazing master suite? Why, two of course! It may sound excessive, but having two master suites is actually very handy for in-laws, guests, teens, or for a home office or baby nursery. The Ashland, Mt. Hood, St. Helens, Creston and Gallatin plans all have options for dual master suites.
Tray ceilings add visual interest, and–like vaulted ceilings–make the master suite appear larger. Tray ceilings also provide an opportunity to use a contrasting or statement paint color to add some drama to the room.
Doesn't this sound blissful? Waking up and walking out to your back patio to welcome the day in sweet serenity. A door to your back patio from the master suite is a wonderful way to connect to the outdoors, or even to sneak out to a hot tub to make greeting the day even more enjoyable. The Cashmere plan offers this feature.
A fireplace is a cozy addition to any master suite. There's a reason why fireplaces are perennial favorites in master bedrooms: they simply make the space more special. You can create a seating area by the fireplace that beckons you to come in and make yourself comfortable.
Just as fireplaces are popular in master suites, so are ceiling fans. If the master suite is all about comfort, then it makes sense to have a ceiling fan to be sure your space is at the optimal temperature. For many homeowners, the white noise created by the ceiling fan is a great way to drift off to sleep every night.
