    New home design trends indicate that your master suite is more than a place to sleep and store your clothes. The master suite should be a retreat, a place of solace to unwind from a hectic and stressful day. Consider the following when designing your master suite:

    • Add a cozy sitting area with a fireplace as a place to truly enjoy your retreat. Whether watching a movie, catching up on a good book or folding the laundry, this cozy sitting area will make any task sublime.
    • Custom walk-in closets, complete with compartmental organizers, full-length mirrors and a plush ottoman, are standard for a master suite.The most luxurious walk-in closets employ the use of automated carousel designs, like those seen in the cleaners, to efficiently store and find clothes.
    • Invest in a quality soaking tub to unwind after long days. Despite its popularity, most people rarely use the jets in their whirlpool tub, and find that a large soaking tub fits the bill perfectly
    • Consider a dreamy shower; perhaps with two showerheads, body sprays and even steam!  Of course, building in a generous bench on which to relax and take in the pleasurable features of the shower rounds out the design.
