What would you like better for a bedroom?

Question

I am putting an adittion on my upstairs (14'x24'). I am going to have vaulted ceilings because otherwise the ceiling would be only 7 1/2' high. It is going to be the master bedroom and I am not sure if I want the whole space to be the bedroom. Would you rather have a large bedroom with a regular closet, a bedroom with a bathroom and small closet, or a bedroom with a walk in closet? Our upstairs doesn't currently have a bathroom. Any suggestions is appreciated.

Answer 1

Definately go with the master bedroom/master bathroom combo, it will add greater value to your home.

Answer 2

I would rather have a bedroom with a bathroom and small closet :)

Answer 3

Personally I would prefer a small bathroom (eg WC & walk-in shower with possibly a small sink across the corner) and  a smaller wardrobe.

Going downstairs during the night for the toilet would not be my idea of heaven I'm afraid!

Answer 4

You should definitely add the bathroom, not only will you have the convenience of a bathroom on the second story, you can call it a master suite which will appeal to buyers. I think most house buyers expect a master bedroom to have an attached bathroom as well as a large closet. Are you designing the space yourself, or do you have an architect designer doing it for you? Perhaps they can find a way to incorporate  the walk in closet as well as a bathroom in your new space.  

Answer 5

I think the bathroom is the first priority.  The ability to call it a "Master Suite" is huge for resale value.  Also, you can always store more things elsewhere in the house, but there's nothing like the convenience of an en suite bathroom.
