There are many factors that come together to create a bedroom that ticks all the boxes - from the size and location of the room, to the flooring, lighting, and practical features that make your life easier.
So, to help you create the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of the day, we’ve put together our top bedroom design essentials.
For example, a design where the master bedroom is situated in a separate wing can be a wonderful thing as your children grow into teenagers and everybody needs their own space.
Or, if someone in the family is up before the sun or home very late, bedrooms that are located away from the entry and living zone could be ideal.
Keep in mind that all of our designs can be customised or flipped to make sure your rooms are located in the best place for your needs.
Carpet is the most common choice for bedrooms and is included in the base price of all of our homes. You can choose from a wide range of colours from our standard range to match your style, plus, there are upgrade options available too.
In addition, some people upgrade to timber flooring for a natural look; or, if building a holiday rental or home near the beach, vinyl plank flooring is a popular choice as it’s low-maintenance, hard-wearing and easy to clean.
If your home is surrounded by views, make the most of it by including large picture windows – you’ll appreciate it every day. If you do opt for a fixed window, just make sure you include a second window that opens out so you can let the breeze in.
A walk-in robe offers ample storage space, and makes it easy to keep your clothes, shoes and other personal items organised. A built-in robe is generally large enough to fit all your gear, especially if you’ve had a good declutter before moving in.
With an ensuite attached to your bedroom, it creates the feeling of having your own private space in the house, which is convenient, and feels a little luxurious too.
You can add some nice touches to create a calm, relaxing atmosphere, as opposed to the chaos of a shared bathroom between the whole family. And if you have a growing family, avoiding the morning battle for the bathroom is a definite plus!
For the master bedroom, you may also consider including some feature lights. A stylish and practical example can be seen in our Metung project where low pendant lights have been used in place of bedside lamps in bedrooms 1 and 2 to great effect!
Life is hectic – but when you have a bedroom that is designed perfectly for you, it allows you to really rest and recharge at the end of each day.
So, consider your needs carefully and take the time to get the position and design features right. You’ll be looking forward to bedtime every night!
