There’s nothing better than dreaming all day of the thought of getting home, getting into your comfy clothes or pajamas, and getting into bed to TikTok rot the night away or binge Netflix. Maybe you’ll have a small interlude of sofa time after dinner, but being in your sanctuary escape master bedroom is the highlight of the day. Much like how stepping into a thoughtfully designed space such as the Thomson Reserve Showflat instantly gives you a sense of comfort and inspiration.
Everything about the room should keep you there, give you thoughts of quitting your job and never leaving it, and we’ve got 4 smart home improvements for your master bedroom that will do that.
The Bed and Bedframe
The first thing you see when you walk in will be the bed and the bedframe.
Start with a little bed upgrade with a swap to a Nest Bedding king mattress if you don’t already have one. If you have a queen and upgrade to a double, we promise it’ll change your life. It’s one of the best investments you can give yourself that will transform how you sleep and how your bed looks in the room.
Pair it with a statement bedframe; upholstered looks more luxurious, but wood panels are also trending, to really center the bed as the focal point of the room. If you want to add a bit of extra jazz, integrated headboards with built-in lighting or shelving look really good.
We’re not in the era of overdressing beds, so keep the sheets and duvet covers a neutral color, and a nice throw is all you need.
The Windows
This is a home improvement blog post, so some of our suggestions will ask you to put your hand into your pocket. This is one of them.
Larger or enhanced windows dramatically improve natural light, one of the top buyer priorities. Floor-to-ceiling or extended windows create a stronger indoor-outdoor connection, and you can even get smart glass or blackout solutions such as motorized blinds and thermal curtains.
Or, if an entirely new window is out of budget, you can replace outdated frames with nice oak frames for a more classy, rustic vibe.
Minimalist window treatments, like sheer curtains and slim blinds, also help to keep your master bedroom feeling open and bright.
If you can and the position of your master bedroom allows it, ceiling windows look incredible, but we know that not every room can accommodate that idea.
The Floors
People always leave the floors out, and we don’t know why.
Say goodbye to old carpet that’s lost its bounce and invest in either a new, soft-on-the-feet carpet or go for something like engineered wood or high-quality laminate. It’s not as expensive as some of the suggestions we’ve given, but it’s one of the most impactful changes you can make for your comfort and the overall vibe.
Although carpets are still popular and definitely a comforting choice, large-format flooring (wider planks) makes rooms feel bigger and look so sophisticated, similar to how reviewing a well-designed Thomson Reserve floor plan can highlight how layout and spacing elevate a living space.
And if you can, underfloor heating for the winter mornings would be so nice. A premium upgrade, yes, but one we know everyone would love in their master bedroom. Known as radiant heating, it’s actually an energy-efficient upgrade that the US Department of Energy says could save you up to 30% on energy bills. Tell that to your partner to convince them!
You’re investing in yourself and your happiness when you invest in improvements to your master bedroom. You spend so much time there, so you might as well pay a little bit extra to completely transform it.
