Out of your entire home, there is one space that can significantly impact your personal well-being. It is the place where we lay our heads at night, where we escape from our nagging family during the holidays, and where we can lay back and escape the struggles of everyday life. What room may that be? Well, your primary bedroom suite of course!
When renovating our homes, we often prioritize the main living areas. However, considering the amount of time we spend in our primary bedroom suites for sleeping, getting ready, and unwinding, it’s crucial to prioritize the comfort and functionality of these spaces.
From luxury bathroom spas to the biggest walk-in closets and cozy reading nooks to additional storage solutions, your space can completely change how you start and end your days. Whether you are thinking about creating the perfect main bedroom and primary bathroom spa for yourself or converting a space in your home to create the ideal inlaw-suite, our team of Colorado contractors at Christie’s Design Build Remodel has made a list of some of our favorite primary bedroom remodeling projects.
But what can you do to optimize your main bedroom and your primary bathroom space to make the perfect spa oasis retreat? Our team of home remodeling designers on the Front Range came up with a few of our top suggestions.
- Create your spa oasis.
Waking up to a dark, tight, outdated bathroom can start your day off on the wrong foot. Creating a bathroom oasis that fits your needs and creates a welcoming space to start and end your day can drastically help change your mood. The options are endless, from soaker tubs to double vanity sinks, the perfect color that calms your nerves, to luxury fixtures.
When thinking about remodeling your primary bathroom, you will want to first take a look at your needs.
- Do you need more storage?
- Is your shower too small?
- Are you looking for efficiency or luxury?
- What is your design aesthetic? Do you like more earthy tones or modern accents?
Do you need help with your design decisions? Our skilled bathroom remodel contractors in Broomfield, Colorado, are here to guide you. Whether picking the proper layout or creating a luxurious spa retreat, we’ll support you every step of the way through the bathroom remodeling journey.

- Brighten up your space with light!
We get it. Some people love darkness, and we won’t argue. There is nothing like getting cozy in your robes, closing all of your blinds, turning down the lights, and lying back for the evening. However, by the time morning comes, that dark, cavernous feel can be a drag. Proper lighting in your room, whether that is manufactured or natural, can really change your mood.
According to the National Library of Medicine, the quality of light you are exposed to throughout the day can significantly impact your mental and physical health. By incorporating or modifying your current lighting, you can enhance your space’s ambiance and kickstart your day with a positive impact.
A few of our favorite lighting options include:
- Add additional windows to your room
- Change out your lightbulbs to a softer, warmer tone
- Remove any harsh overhead lighting
- Add dimmers to your overhead lighting to set the perfect mood
- Add accent lamps to avoid any harsh direct light
- Build your perfect walk-in closet.
In numerous older Colorado homes, storage space can be a challenge. A lack of space for hiding unwanted items can cramp our homes. Creating the perfect walk-in closet not only allows for hiding clutter but also, according to NARI, can provide a return of around 56% on the investment for homeowners who upgrade their walk-in closets.
But what if you don’t have the space to build out your closet? Well, you may have to think outside the box. Our team of home remodeling experts in Westminster, Colorado, can help you redesign your space. Some include:
- Building out an addition to your home
- Relocating your bedroom to a different space with more room
- Build large custom builtins in the space you have to offer additional storage space
- Expand into another living space, i.e., a spare bedroom
- Add a second closet in an unused space of the room
- Build a cozy sitting area or reading nook.
It can be difficult to escape the hustle and bustle of your daily life. Building the perfect reading nook or sitting area in your primary bedroom suite can be the key to creating your ultimate hideout while also adding additional storage space.
To begin, all you need is an unused space in your room. Do you have an unused corner, a window alcove just waiting to be used, or a closet space that’s going to waste? With built-in bookshelves and some comfortable furniture, you can create the ideal spot to lose yourself in a good book.
Additional ideas:
- Build a custom bench with upholstered seating that can fit right inside a window sill to get a picturesque reading nook
- Add floor-to-ceiling bookshelves with various storage options
- Make a statement and paint the area a bold color to add a modern aesthetic
