Know that bigger is not always better. For the longest time now, the construction industry has included the master bedroom in the creation of contemporary homes. But do you know the average size of a bedroom before you can consider it as a master bedroom?

The average size for a master bedroom is about 200 to 250 square feet. With today’s market, though, you can have a 350 square foot master bedroom built.

Here are some tips on how you can make the master bedroom, well, a lot more like a master bedroom –

Go Big

If you want to have a room for dressing up, then it is more suitable that you also have a big master bedroom built. A large bedroom can easily accommodate the huge dresser, full-length mirror, bed, and a bench.

If, however, you want to add more floor space but you no longer cannot, then you can maximize the space in the bedroom. Have a sleeping loft built and easily accessed by a staircase or a ladder. This is a plan that depends heavily on how high or low the ceiling is so consider your options before you even begin with this project.

A better benefit is the one that you place under the loft. This space can be turned into a home office, a den, guest room or any room that you have been dreaming of.

More space means more ideas that you can work on. You can also create a private getaway for your other housemates or kids. This can also be a rec room for everyone where adults can do crafts and kids can play.

If you crave for more space to do your activities such as yoga, then you can also set up a quiet space where you can meditate. This space can also be a storage place for your yoga and exercise gears.

The possibilities are actually endless.

Go Smaller

This is the case if you want a sleeping nook rather than a huge master bedroom. If you are the type who only uses the bedroom as a place to sleep, then you can do with a sleeping nook. The space should be enough to fit a bed and one nightstand.

A good way to open up a small master bedroom is to have a glass door installed. This is pretty much like expanding the bedroom since you are able to see the outdoors.

French and sliding glass doors can easily lead you from the bedroom going to the garden or a lofty deck.

Instead of thinking of adding more space, try to look at the blueprint of your layout. A professional can help you come up with solutions for creating space minus construction.

The Serene Master Bedroom

You have to realize the fact that the master bedroom can be a complex project to make. The biggest feature that you have to worry about is the bed. Since this is the focal point of the room, then you have to carefully pick it. You also have to consider how you will place this furniture piece for optimized comfort.

The traditional way to create more space in any bedroom is to place the headboard against one wall. This wall has to be the one that is opposite the bedroom door. Make sure also that the side of the bed will not create a visual distraction especially on the area where you are supposed to walk in. Don’t resort to diagonal placement, too, since this can take up more space than necessary.

You also need to set your priorities. Are you a wide reader? Do you like watching TV before you go to bed? Or do you love looking at the scenic view outside once you wake up in the morning? Whatever you prefer, make your decision around this preference.
