The master suite is one of the rooms that always stands out to potential home buyers. They imagine themselves in the room, everything they could do with the space, sleeping on a luxurious king-size mattress before rolling out of it and into their fully equipped en-suite bathroom.

Potential buyers will picture themselves in every room, but everyone knows that the bedroom is the sanctuary. It’s the room we dream of being in at the end of the day when we’re stuck in the office and want to cry.

Helping buyers make that emotional connection with the room with the essential features below could sway their decisions.

The Master Suite Bed

The master suite should have the largest bed in the house, and a king-size mattress or bigger is perfect for luxury and comfort. Buyers will associate the size with value.

Upholstered or designer headboards are trending for that added “hotel suite” feel. The way you present the bed and how inviting it looks has a big impact on whether potential buyers can see themselves in a room.

That hotel suite vibe really does sell, so we’d recommend high-quality, soft Egyptian cotton sheets of around 600 thread counts. The clean, layered textures, instead of a mountain of cluttered pillows, look so good.

Sleep-tech integration is also becoming a selling point. You can buy adjustable cooling mattress toppers, adjustable bases, and sleep tracking systems that integrate into the mattress you already have, and they’re programmed for the person for optimal sleep.

An En-Suite With Added Luxuries

From the bed to the en-suite, there are a few added luxuries you can install in a bathroom we would already hope is equipped with at least a walk-in shower and maybe a freestanding bathtub.

Spa-style bathrooms are expected in higher-end homes, with features like walk-in rainfall showers, the freestanding tub we mentioned, and steam shower components being real selling points. The rainfall shower and steam features are much easier to install than the freestanding tub, but the bath definitely would add value and appeal if you can make it work without replacing the shower.

Then there are other luxuries such as the following:

• Heated floors
• Heated towel rails
• Smart mirrors
• Double vanities
• Touchless taps
• Smart toilets

And a general wellness-focused design with natural materials, calming lighting, and biophilic elements.

Built-In Features

Built-in features look so much better and higher-end than freestanding features. It’s such a clean and classy aesthetic that we know buyers will love.

Fireplace

It doesn’t need to be a real fireplace, but this one sells so well because buyers associate fireplaces with comfort and lifestyle. You can get modern electric fireplaces built into a cutout in the wall that still emits heat and that warm, relaxing glow of a fireplace.

Entertainment systems

Integrated technology is always appealing, and again, it’s as simple as putting a TV into a cutout in the wall with some surrounding ambient lighting. It looks so much ready, and if you can make it a streaming-ready setup, with maybe the Netflix homepage on the TV when you’re showing people around the home, potential buyers will love it.

Lights

Again, it’s just about making the room less cluttered and creating a more luxurious vibe. Built-in, layered lighting looks so good, and you can still have statement lighting fixtures as the centerpiece. Built-in ceiling lights look the best, and then you can still put floor lamps next to the bed or wherever you want in the room.

There are so many features that define the master bedroom and put it a cut above the rest of the bedroom, but these are some of the best features that we think potential buyers will like. Adding features is about solving the problems buyers might have and giving them something they might not have in their current bedroom.
