When you think of building a custom home, your primary suite is one of the first places that comes to mind. What do you want your personal space for rest and relaxation to look like? People have many and that’s why multifunctional primary suites are so popular. Adding a diverse set of lets you enjoy your leisure (or stay focused in your home office) without compromising your time or privacy. Plus, when you’re feeling social, seating and entertainment features give you an inner sanctum to share with those that matter most.
The ensuite bathroom, often simply called “the ensuite”, is so essential that it’s usually implicit, and usually the main reason to have a primary suite. A private bathroom’s sheer convenience needs no explanation. If you’re planning to age in place, a bathroom adjoining the primary bedroom is much safer to walk to in the middle of the night. It can also be personalized to your needs, including features such as a walk-in shower or handrail that your other guests and family members may not require.
A walk-in closet and a linen closet are elements of the primary suite, with many up to fifty or one hundred square feet, as they provide the needed storage space that serves those who use the suite.
Another common component of a primary suite is a home office. The main benefit here is quietude and privacy. For those who practice deep work, a home office in the primary suite lets you maintain your concentration all day long. You can take voice and video calls without worrying about interruption, with soundproofing technology to keep away outside noise. Furthermore, this secluded space also makes a good home for important documents and sensitive information that might be at risk in a high-traffic area of the house.
But when you’re ready to kick back for the night, sitting areas and other entertainment amenities are the way to go. Luxury homes are increasingly expanding their entertainment space into the primary suite and other areas of the house. A wet bar can serve a private party with your closest friends, or a romantic evening with your partner on your personal balcony. It’s becoming common to hide these kitchenette utilities behind mirrored panels.
