3 Tips for Renovating Your Primary Bedroom

Your primary bedroom should be a beautiful retreat that feels equally luxurious and peaceful. It should be your private sanctuary where you can start and end your day on a high note, leading to happier and more productive days.

Renovating your primary bedroom is an exciting undertaking that can improve your home and overall well-being. If it's time to transform your primary bedroom into a luxurious suite, here are some things you should include.

Custom storage solutions

Do you have clothes piled up on your dresser? Laundry thrown in a corner—it's okay—we've seen it all.

One way to fix the mess in your space is by including custom storage in your renovation. This could look like a built-in wardrobe with plenty of shelving and organizational spaces, which could take up a good part of a bare wall. The built-in wardrobe would reflect your space’s overall style and could seamlessly blend into the room.

If your floor plan allows, we could add a walk-in closet if your primary bedroom doesn’t already have one. Some of the older homes here in Birmingham only have small two-tier closets, but with some creativity, we could move things around and create a walk-in closet with plenty of shelving and storage space. You’ll have more than enough room for your clothes, shoes, and maybe even your extra bedding and blankets.

Don’t forget about lighting

Lighting plays a vital role in creating a space that feels relaxing and completes the room's design. In your bedroom, it is a good idea to include layered lighting, which is a blend of three types of lighting: ambient, task, and accent. Each type of lighting serves a specific purpose and will also make your space feel more luxurious.

First, you could install a chandelier above your bed for ambient lighting. This will act as a design focal point around which you can base the rest of your décor choices.

 Next, you could install task lighting, like sconces or table lamps, on either side of the bed and above any artwork you may include in your bedroom.

Lastly, for accent lighting, you could include dimmable recessed lighting, allowing you to create an ambiance that makes the space feel soothing and comfortable.

Make it a smart space

While you're renovating, finding ways to include smart technology in your space is a good idea. Some examples in the primary bedroom include smart thermostats, which will allow you to control the temperature so that it's not too warm or too cool when you're ready to head to bed.

Voice-controlled lighting is another feature many homeowners love to include in their primary bedroom so that they don't have to fumble around in the dark. Both of these additions will make life easier and help you save on your utility bills since it will be easier to control energy usage.
