What is a master bedroom

In modern houses and residential complexes in Russia, special attention has been paid to comfort during sleep and rest. New design projects and solutions have appeared. Many concepts and styles have American roots. For example, a master bedroom. Let's figure out what this definition means and what are the features of this space planning option.

What is a master bedroom

A common concept for residents of Western countries, it appeared in our country relatively recently. Master bedroom - literally translated as master bedroom. Intended for the head of the family and his wife. Initially, the term master was used in relation to the owner, the owner of the living space. In American literature of the 18th-19th centuries: a master is a rich man who has an estate with slaves and servants. It was indecent for him to appear surrounded by servants in inappropriate condition, so estates were built with a restroom combined with a sleeping area. Today, it is the largest and most well-decorated room in the house with several zones:

• sleeping area;
• dressing room (like a separate room with racks for clothes):
• bathroom (may have a shower, toilet, bathtub, a pair of sinks);
• balcony or loggia (sometimes included in the bedroom).

The combination of several zones is justified by the fact that adult family members need their own individual space. Parents can calmly, without moving around the apartment, take a shower or watch a movie.In the morning, you don’t need to quietly sneak around the house so as not to disturb your family when getting ready for work.

REFERENCE! The remaining bedrooms (children's and guest bedrooms) are much smaller in area and functionality.

Layout features

When constructing buildings, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances of the arrangement of rooms for different purposes in the house:

1. The ideal layout of a living space is when the “master bedroom” and children’s rooms are located in different parts and separated by other zones. For example, living room, kitchen. On the second floor you can separate the areas with a hall and a staircase. This option is suitable for families with large children. This way the child will have more personal space.
2. If there is an infant in the family, a living space is selected where the parents’ bedroom borders on the nursery. This will make the baby and parents feel calmer. If you plan to monitor the baby around the clock by a nanny, then her room should be located further than the nursery; it should not have common walls with the master bedroom.
3. If the house has several floors, then it is better to place the master bedroom on a separate floor or define a living area for relatives and guests on the lower level.

The layout of the bedroom itself can be varied:

1. The rest area and dressing room can be located in the same room and separated by a partition. In this case, a separate room is allocated for the bathroom.
2. If the room is large, the room can be divided into two parts: a sleeping area and a place to relax or work (sofa, TV, armchairs, desk). The bathroom and dressing room are separated.
3. Sometimes the work area is moved to a separate room adjacent to the bedroom.

REFERENCE! You can choose other options for the arrangement of furniture and areas. It all depends on the capabilities and imagination of the owners.

Decoration and furniture

The choice of bedroom style should be based on the preferences of the owners, the required functionality of the furniture and premises, and the level of illumination. In modern room design, the emphasis is on comfort and harmony.

Design styles for bedrooms:

1. Minimalism. It is distinguished by expressiveness and laconicism of the interior and furniture. The room contains a minimum of accessories and unnecessary (optional) things. Light natural tones prevail in the decoration, but no more than three. Furniture is made from any material, but with clear contours.
2. Country. Natural materials are used to create the design. Primary colors are soft and relaxing (light green, pastel shades, blue, light brown). Some elements can be made by hand (self-woven curtains or a runner on the floor, a blanket on the bed).
3. Classic. It is distinguished by its decoration and richness of smooth lines. Furniture made of wood should be selected. Natural natural colors are chosen.
4. Victorian style. Everything is in gold and light colors, monograms, silk-screen printing on wallpaper, carved wooden furniture, many vintage accessories, paintings in golden heavy frames.
5. Japanese style. It implies a combination of several colors that harmoniously combine with each other (dark brown, red, beige). The presence of plants, a low bed, lamps with regular contours and many other oriental motifs is a must.
6. High-tech - glass, plastic, metal. Color combination: white, gray, silver, a few bright spots (acid tones are possible). Interior elements should have abstract boundaries that smoothly transition into the next zone.

The master bedroom can be designed in any style. The general features of the so-called master bedroom are their isolation, comfort and functionality.
