One of the most requested additions or upgrades on a home is a master bedroom. If you’ve been considering an upgrade to your bedroom, either a renovation or an entire addition for added space, then you probably already have a good idea of what you’d like to see in your new master suite. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most requested upgrades when people renovate their master. Check it out and see if your ideas made the list - or maybe you’ll find a new must-have option or two to add to your list!

Creating a Spa-Like Master Bath

Nothing can transform your master suite like a fabulous high-end bathroom. Luxury items and amenities like radiant floor heating and steam showers are some popular options to give your bathroom a spa-like ambience. Two of the more common upgrades homeowners choose, however, are showers with multi heads and stand alone soaking tubs. Multiple body sprays in a walk-in shower along with an overhead rain shower fixture creates an ultimate relaxation experience. Deep stand alone soaking tubs are great to chill out in and sooth aching muscles after a long day.

Large, Functional Closet Space

In almost all modern homes, a walk-in closet is a must-have. Small, cramped closets are a big turn off for potential buyers. Homeowners today are requesting elegant large walk-in closet space. While ample shelving is a must have, some homeowners are choosing to incorporate even more upgrades, such as dressing tables, seating, lighting, and some even go far as to put kitchenettes or fireplaces if the space is available. Nothing is quite as luxurious as a dressing room/closet in the master suite!

Outdoor Space

This is another favorite of homeowners. Whether it's a secluded private garden patio off of the first floor master suite, or a private balcony to catch a romantic sunset with your significant other, more homeowners are opting to add an outdoor element to the master.

Sitting Area with a Fireplace

In the winter, nothing is as cozy or more romantic than sitting in front of the fire sipping champagne with your spouse. It's the perfect place to read, meditate or relax. More and more homeowners are opting for a connected private den, or sitting area complete with a gas or wood burning fireplace in the master suite.

High-End Finishes and Design Elements

Many homeowners are choosing high-end architectural finishes like tray ceilings, recessed ambient lighting, built-in shelving, handcrafted molding or wainscoting to enhance their design. Another popular upgrade is high-end dramatic lighting, such as an art glass chandelier over the bed, or custom lighting design complete with a remote control.
