What is a master bedroom

In modern homes 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 see what this definition means and what are the features of this option for space planning.

What is a master bedroom

The usual concept for residents of Western countries, we have appeared relatively recently. Master bedroom - literally translates as master bedroom. Designed 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 quarters. In American literature of the XVIII-XIX centuries: the master is a rich man who has an estate with slaves and a servant. It was indecent for him to appear surrounded by servants in an improper way, so manor houses were built with a restroom combined with a sleeping quarters. Today, this is the largest and most well-decorated room in the house with several areas:

• sleeping place;
• dressing room (as a separate room with racks for clothes):
• bathroom (may have a shower, toilet, bathtub, a pair of sinks);
• balcony or loggia (sometimes part of 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, watch a movie. In the morning, you don’t have to sneak around the house quietly so as not to disturb your family, going to work.

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

Layout Features

When building buildings, it is necessary to take into account all the nuances of the location of rooms for various purposes in the house:

1. The ideal layout of the living room is when the "master bedroom" and children's rooms are located in different parts and are divided by other zones. For example, a living room, a kitchen. On the second floor, you can distinguish between the area of ​​the hall and stairs. This option is suitable for families with large children. So the child will have more personal space.
2. If there is an infant in the family, a dwelling is selected where the parents' bedroom borders on the nursery. So the baby and parents will be calmer. If you plan to monitor the baby as a nanny around the clock, 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, it is better to place the master - bedroom on a separate floor or to determine the area of ​​residence of relatives and guests at the lower level.

The layout of the bedroom itself can be varied:

1. The resting place and dressing room can be located in the same room and be separated by a partition. In this case, a separate room is allocated for the bathroom.
2. With a large size, the room can be zoned into two parts: a berth and a place to relax or work (sofa, TV, armchairs, desk). The bathroom and dressing room are separate.
3. Sometimes the working area is carried out in 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.
