"This kids' bedroom was no exception-the floorplan was small, so we decided to bring in a bunk bed to maximize sleeping space. "This is the client's vacation home, so every room had to be designed with extra guests in mind," says Morford. The Layout: Built for the most memorable sleepovers, this two-beds-in-one arrangement accommodates growing kids just as well as it does guests. A small round rug anchors and "defines" that space, without making it feel cumbersome or obstructing the flow of the rest of the room. The Extras: This space (and the existing architectural details of the built-ins and fireplace) made it a natural fit for a small conversation area in front of the bed. The Bed: A king-sized bed with a four-post style frame draws the eye upward to show off (and make use of the space afforded by) the vaulted ceiling. "The fireplace & built-ins were a natural focal point of the room, so you'll notice that everything is directed toward them! We love this layout because it's a perfect example of how the scale of every piece from the furniture to the lighting are instrumental in creating a functional layout."


The Layout: "Given the room's large floor plan and vaulted ceiling, we wanted to play with scale and source pieces that would allow the layout to be fully utilized, while still feeling clutter-free," says Leigh Lincoln of Pure Salt Interiors. Many realtors, architects, interior designers, and the Real Estate Standards Association have recognized the potentially discriminatory connotations in the term “Master.” Read more about our Diversity and Inclusion Pledge.

The term “Primary Suite” is now widely used to describe the largest bedroom in the home with an en suite bath, as it better reflects the space’s purpose.
