Your private getaway within; there is no floorplan or custom-build home design that should be without the owner’s retreat. We love the versatility and the inviting calm, not to mention privacy, a little extra space can bring to any style of home you’re looking to build.
You might be asking, what’s the difference between a primary bedroom and an owner’s retreat? By technical definition the primary bedroom is the largest bedroom in the house, but an owner’s retreat takes a large bedroom and elevates it to the next level. An owner’s retreat is an escape to an exclusive area that’s tucked away from other rooms. An owner’s retreat can include everything from an adjoining bathroom to walk-in closets and even a study or sitting area.
You’re certainly thinking about including an owner’s retreat as a part of your future custom home design, so here are a few considerations and thought starters.
Room With A View
What would a private oasis be without a great view?
Whether it’s coastal charm or pastoral beauty, think about the views outside your retreat when you consider all the other details inside of it. The same goes for your bathroom. You spend critical moments there too.
See The Light
Natural light plays a big role in any room of your home. Especially those you want to be cozy, comfortable, spacious and inviting.
Ample light and window position can affect the mood and energy of your room’s layout. Depending on where your retreat is in your floorplan, consider a feature window.
En Suite
Any owner’s retreat must include the convenience of an on suite bathroom (or “en suite” depending on how fancy you want to be when throwing around terms with your builder) and a bathroom that is uniquely suited to your every need is exactly how Schumacher Homes defines custom, bespoke craftsmanship.
When customizing an owner’s retreat bathroom, the design options can vary by preference or functionality including a freestanding tub and walk in shower or separate vanities with tile shower.
These are just a few of the design trends to ponder in an owner’s retreat to help set a custom home apart.
