Turn Your Bedroom Into an Oasis
A bedroom should be more than a place to lay your weary head. It should be an oasis of calm, a place where you can relax and enjoy a good book or your favorite podcast. Your Sunterra builder can help you with that. They offer a variety of upgrades and options so you can create a room that is beautiful and uniquely yours.
Crown Your Bedroom
Coffered, tray and beamed ceilings are best installed when the home is being constructed. If you don’t want to go for a structural option, check to see if your builder can paint the ceiling. A color that contrasts with the walls is sophisticated and elegant. Add a pendant lamp or chandelier as a focal point.
Treat Your Feet
Upgrade your bedroom floors now rather than later. It costs about the same and you won’t have to move all your furniture out while it’s being done. Plush carpet is a treat for your feet. Make sure it’s stain-resistant. Hardwood floors are beautiful, hypoallergenic and easy to clean.
Wonderful Walls
Upgrade your paint now so you don’t have to do it later. Choose a washable paint for easy maintenance. While you may be tempted to go with a neutral color, blues and greens create a more relaxed atmosphere. Accent walls can set the tone for your room. Besides paint, you can use shiplap, wallpaper and wood paneling.
What About Windows?
Many builders give you the option to trade the standard window in for a bay window. Bay windows look great and give you space to add a comfy chair or exercise equipment. Curved walls of glass are breathtaking. They also offer a great view of your backyard.
Consider an Extension
If you want a larger bedroom, think extension. A larger bedroom can mean the difference between living and living well. It can reduce the feeling of clutter if you have oversized furniture. Extensions usually feature oversized bay or bow windows adding to the beauty of the room.
Room to Sit
Another type of extension offered by some builders is a sitting room. Sitting rooms add additional square footage and with a little creativity can become home gyms, TV rooms and home offices. If you choose to add a sitting room, see if you can also have built-in shelves or entertainment centers. They look great, reduce clutter and add to the resale value of your home.
Upgrade Your Closet
More closet space doesn’t necessarily mean less cluttered. See if your builder can add an organization system. Depending on the square footage of your closet, you can add everything from extra rods to shoe racks. Some closets can even accommodate an island for folding clothes. If your builder offers the option of a door to the laundry room, take it. Your arms will thank you.
Check Out the Upgrades
You can see many of the upgrades Sunterra builders offer by touring their model homes. If there is an upgrade you know you want but don’t see, speak with the builder’s sales representative.
