Home Remodel Ideas: Master Bedroom
The Master Bedroom -- Creating an Oasis of Luxury and Comfort
(ARA) - The trend in the designing of new homes and home remodel ideas today
is to surround the occupant in comfort and convenience. This is no more evident
than in the master bedroom. The master bedroom is the place where the homeowner
can design an oasis of comfort and luxury.
For some, this can be accomplished with the creation of a romantic, Old World-inspired
getaway in which to relax and unwind from their hectic schedules. For others,
when creating their personal haven, the dream is accomplished with a more sleek,
high-tech European style of decorating. In either case, amenities will abound,
and no matter what your decorating preference, here are some popular home remodel
ideas pamper yourself.
When creating either a romantic or high-tech atmosphere, an eclectic combination
of furniture pieces will create a personal refuge or escape. It's nice to include
pieces with special meaning or history, if possible. Of course, the romantic
bedroom must include luxurious pillows, throws, duvets and other accessories
to help create an atmosphere reminiscent of a villa in Tuscany or manor house
in Wales. A chandelier over the bed or over each nightstand is an option for
an elegant and unique lighting alternative. Additional lighting might come from
a palladium window with a beautiful view.
No matter what you add for accents, the combination of opulent, classic details
is key in developing an Old World theme. Voluminous plants and ferns add to
the romantic feel of the room. Artwork, in beautiful gilded frames, completes
the look of the perfect romantic escape.
But the high tech devotee might tap the European trend of combining an eclectic
blend of sleek, contemporary styles, mixing and matching stained wood with glass
and metal. The high-tech bedroom suite will stress functionality and have less
ornamentation. The bed will likely be a platform, decorated with simple tailored
pillows and no fussy ornamentation. Colors will be monochrome, in tweed or geometric
patterns that blend easily.
The room might be lighted with commercial-style fixtures and sconces such
as aimable halogens and pharmacy styles. Additional lighting will be from skylights
above. Windows will be plain and uncurtained or with the most minimal addition
of a cornice over shades. The placement of a simple flower (tulip or calla lily)
in a plain cylinder vase on the dresser or a few branches of dried curly willow
in a simple pot will provide a nice foil to an otherwise angular room. Artwork
will be minimal, such as a large, unframed, abstract oil painting over the bed
and the addition of a few simply matted black-and-white photos in plain frames
around the room.
Home Remodel Ideas: Master Bathroom
No matter which home remodel ideas is to your liking, no master bedroom is
complete without a large master bathroom. The bathroom might begin
with a shared shower with steam bath and specialty shower fixtures (rows of
body sprays, waterfall showerheads, thermostatically controlled valves to provide
the exact, constant water temperature, or additional handheld shower heads).
To this, we would need to add a two person whirlpool or soaking tub, separate
his and her toilet areas and, of course, a bidet for the lady.
No bathroom would be complete without to dual vanities (which can be placed
at different heights to accommodate different statures) and medicine cabinets
that are deep, are lighted from within and contain power outlets for electrical
gadgets. The mirrors are heated so they don't steam up. Floors are limestone
or marble and are radiant heated for comfort.
Usually, the master bedroom and master bathroom are on the same heating zone.
