5 Master Closet Design Ideas That Pop

Your master suite is a sanctuary and you want the space inside to reflect that feeling. From the bedding you choose to a host of other amenities, there are a lot of ways to make your master suite a peaceful oasis. Your master closet is an extension of this relaxing environment, and by making the right choices, your master suite closet can become a focal point of the suite.

Here are five of the most popular design ideas in master suite closet design that can help you achieve this.

1. Interior Colors

The wood color that you choose for your closet’s interior will make a big impact, so it’s important to choose one that you like best. The most popular choices are dark, natural and white wood.

Dark Wood

Dark wood adds unexpected contrast to your master suite’s color scheme. When you pick rich, dark hues for your master closet, it brings a sense of luxury and elegance to your space, making it an absolutely delicious experience getting dressed each morning.

Natural Wood

Natural wood brings a sense of warmth and peace along with a lush backdrop for your clothing to be displayed. A light stain will make the wood’s grain pop, adding texture and detail to the space as well.

Neutral Wood

Neutral white wood makes a master closet look bright and clean. Light reflects off the interior space and your clothing and accessories will be showcased against the neutral white background. Additionally, many homeowners choose to add glass cabinets that help light to reflect and pass through, making their clothing and accessories stand out against the neutral interior.

2. Plenty of Light

Good lighting elevates the look of a master closet and makes even the smallest space feel roomy and large. It’s also a necessary component if you want to be able to see the items inside. There are several lighting options to choose from, including track lighting, backlights, and horizontal and vertical LED lights. Each lighting design is customizable to showcase shelving or racks of clothing, but installation can be expensive.

If a new lighting system is out of the budget, consider adding a rattan or woven chandelier or a statement light that’s thoughtfully placed.

3. Organized Accessories

A current trend in master closets includes adding designated spaces for accessories. This includes cabinets and other built-in solutions for items like scarves, jewelry, sunglasses and ties. Not only will it help you stay organized, but it will also elevate your master closet to the next level. There are plenty of options that can be customized for your unique space. Check out options online and consider asking a professional for their advice.

4. Floor-to-Ceiling Closets

Many closet systems are designed for closets with 8-foot ceilings, but you don’t have to waste that extra space. If your closet ceilings are taller than 8 feet, consider maximizing your storage space. You can customize by building shelves or adding baskets and bins to the top shelves for storing items you don’t need every day. It also makes the closet look larger.

5. Flair with Hardware

If you’ve got a neutral closet, you can add a pop of color by selecting the perfect hardware for your cabinets and drawers. They come in all colors and designs, and they add a little bit of personality to an otherwise simple space. This tiny detail can enhance your master closet, giving it character and charm.

Make Your Master Closet Design Ideas Come to Life

Project Spotlight: Vibrant Custom Ranch Home with a Magnificent View

Glenn and Maureen lived out of state, but they visited Lancaster County often over the years and grew to love the area. They dreamt of someday relocating to this area and retiring here. That dream came true in 2019 when they made the move and had a custom ranch home built by Metzler Home Builders. When looking for a home in Lancaster County, they had specific design ideas in mind, especially in regards to elderly parents and handicap accessibility. When they couldn’t find that in an existing home, they opted to go the route of building a new home. This enabled them to design the flow of the home to meet their specific needs.

Glenn and Maureen connected with a local realtor who helped find the perfect lot – one with beautiful farmland views for miles. The realtor also provided them a few options of builders to reach out to. After doing their research, they chose Metzler Home Builders. They loved the idea of working with a fourth-generation business, and one who would build exactly what they were looking for, not “a builder who modifies a handful of standard floor plans and calls it custom.”  Continue reading

Basic Is Better: The Versatility of Neutral Kitchen Colors

Neutral colors are often underrated, but they can be used in various ways and will never go out of style. When it comes to kitchen color, white is still the dominant option. It is always on the top of the National Kitchen and Bath Association’s (NKBA’s) annual Design Trends Survey of the most popular kitchen color. However, there are plenty of other neutrals that can work well, too. This article will discuss the versatility of neutral kitchen colors and some of the best ways to use them!

But what if you want to add color to your kitchen? Here are a few ways you can easily add a pop of color to make your kitchen look fresh and fun.

New Window Treatments 

Replace neutral blinds and curtains with window treatments that are eye-catching and bright. Select a solid color that matches your kitchen decor, or if you’re feeling extra spicy, choose window treatments in a stylish, bold print. Continue reading

Choosing a Kitchen Backsplash

A kitchen remodel is a big undertaking so it’s important that you consider every detail along the way. Your kitchen backsplash probably won’t break the bank, but it has the potential to complement big-ticket items like your countertops and cabinets. Here are five things to consider when choosing a kitchen backsplash so it fits seamlessly into your beautifully designed space.

1. How Much Space Will Your Backsplash Cover?

When considering the design of the backsplash and selecting your backsplash materials, it’s best to approach it already knowing the area it will cover so you can make decisions that stay within your budget. Some materials, like a stone backsplash, are much more expensive than others, and they’re also harder to install—which makes it more labor-intensive (adding to the expense). Small, decorative tiles are also pricey, so while a lovely glass backsplash might make sense in a small space or as an accent, it may not be a practical choice financially to cover a large area.

4 Ways to Reduce Your Energy Bill

With the price of so many goods and services on the rise, here are a few simple ways to reduce your energy bill.  

 Check for air leaks. Drafty windows and doors can be a huge source of energy loss. Check each of your doors and windows for drafts, and if you feel them, purchase a weatherization kit at your local home improvement store. You can also buy heavy, insulated curtains. If the draftiness is too severe or it’s too dangerous to fix the leaks (such as your second-story windows), call a professional.  Continue reading

Project Spotlight: A Fabulous Finished Basement

Erick and Erica are second owners of a home built by Metzler Home Builders. They loved their home but desired additional living space and decided to pursue the idea of a finished basement. Their uniquely shaped lot and home layout provided allowed them to accomplish four things on their wish list for their basement: a library/game room, a playroom, a media room and storage space. They also wanted to incorporate into the space a bathroom, a wet bar and a Murphy bed. 

Tim Zehr drew up a plan for the basement, which included all the desired items. Erick and Erica were impressed with the plan and the proposal and felt like they were getting the best “bang for the buck” in having Metzler’s undertake the project. They were willing to pay for the quality they expected to have in the finished product.   Continue reading

Project Spotlight: A Truly Custom “Forever” Home

Derek and Sarah have always dreamt of building a new home. After moving to Lancaster County and experiencing an unsuccessful home search, they decided it was time to pursue that dream.  They had certain requirements for their “forever” home and hadn’t been able to find a home that met their needs within their price range.  They thought building a new home was not financially possible.  After looking into it further, they found that building a new home was more cost-effective than buying a house that was on the market and having to make repairs and improvements to make it work for their family.
