Primary suite ideas: bedroom, bath and closet
A primary suite is the one place in the house that is just for you. The best ones connect bedroom, bath and closet in a way that makes mornings easier and evenings calmer.
The layout
The classic sequence runs bedroom, then closet, then bath, so you dress on the way out of the bathroom. Keep the toilet out of view from the bed, and give the bed wall a window or a quiet focal point.
A spa bathroom
- A curbless walk-in shower with a bench; see the wet room guide.
- A freestanding tub if there is room; see freestanding vs alcove.
- Two sinks and heated floors.
The closet
A walk-in closet needs about 7 feet of width for hanging on both sides with a walkway. Mix long and double hanging, drawers and shelves for shoes. See closet systems and the closet calculator.
Lighting and quiet
Dimmable warm light, reading lights by the bed and a night light path to the bath. Insulated interior walls and solid doors keep it quiet. See color temperature.
Plan it
Start from the Primary suite template in the 3D floor planner, then bring it to a consult.
Common questions
How big should a primary suite be?
It varies, but the bedroom, bath and closet together often take several hundred square feet. The flow matters more than the size.
How wide does a walk-in closet need to be?
About 7 feet allows hanging on both sides with a comfortable walkway.
Should the bathroom be open to the bedroom?
Most people prefer a door, especially for the toilet. Pocket or barn doors save swing space.
