Design Tips for Your Owner's Suite

Layer Up with Soft, Plush Textiles

Nothing says winter warmth like a bed piled high with soft blankets, luxurious sheets, and cozy throws. To create a retreat that feels as good as it looks, focus on layering your bedding with warm, inviting fabrics.

• Bedding: Opt for high-thread-count cotton sheets or flannel bedding to trap warmth while you sleep. Consider adding a thick duvet or comforter, and pair it with a cozy blanket for extra warmth.

• Throws: Add texture with plush throws in wool, fleece, or cashmere. Drape them over the foot of the bed or fold them neatly across the top of your duvet for easy access when you need a little extra warmth.

• Pillows: Don’t forget to pile up the pillows! Velvet, faux fur, and knitted throw pillows can add both comfort and a touch of winter elegance to your bed.

Create Ambiance with Soft Lighting

As daylight dwindles in the winter months, the right lighting can transform your bedroom into a glowing sanctuary. Warm, soft light helps to evoke a feeling of calm and relaxation, setting the mood for a perfect slumber. 

• String Lights: String lights can be draped across the headboard, wrapped around a mirror, or hung above a window to create a magical, soft glow in your room. Choose warm white or golden-toned lights to enhance the cozy atmosphere.

• Table Lamps & Floor Lamps: Swap out bright overhead lights for softer, ambient lighting. Look for lamps with dimmer switches to control the brightness or choose lamps with warm-toned bulbs for a soft, inviting light.

• Candles: Scented candles not only provide a flickering glow but also fill the room with comforting aromas like vanilla, cinnamon, or winter pine. Opt for large pillar candles or cluster smaller ones for an elegant look.

Incorporate Cozy Accessories

It’s the small details that truly make a space feel like a retreat. Add a few carefully chosen accessories to bring your winter-ready owner’s suite to life.

• Rugs: A plush area rug beneath the bed can make your space feel even more inviting. Opting for thicker, textured rugs can help insulate your space, keeping your feet warm on those cold winter mornings.

• Heated Blanket or Electric Throw: For extra warmth on cold nights, a heated blanket can be a game changer. These are perfect for snuggling under when the temperatures drop, while adding a pop or color or texture to enhance the luxurious look of your space.

• A Cozy Nook: Many of our floorplans provide plenty of space throughout the owner's suite, allowing for extra room to create a small reading nook equipped with an armchair, blanket, and end table for a warm cup of tea. Add a floor lamp or a small candle to complete the space, creating a peaceful, private nook to unwind.

Consider the Finishing Touches

The final details are often the ones that make your owner’s suite feel complete. These finishing touches can help elevate your space, ensuring that each corner 

• Throw Blankets and Shawls: Keep extra throws and shawls nearby in your walk-in closet or draped across your bed for when you want to curl up. A basket near the bed is perfect for storing them in a stylish, accessible way.

• Slippers and Robes: A plush robe and warm slippers are perfect for slipping into after a relaxing bath in your luxurious en suite. Consider investing in cozy, soft fabrics, making you feel both comfortable and luxurious.

• Winter Tray or Bowl: Place a beautifully styled tray on your nightstand or dresser filled with winter-inspired elements like pinecones, dried citrus slices, cinnamon sticks, or a few seasonal ornaments. You could even add a small stack of your go-to books, topped with your favorite candle to enhance your space. This simple yet thoughtful detail not only brings in seasonal charm but also makes the space feel extra inviting and unique to your style.

Transforming your owner’s suite into a winter-ready retreat doesn’t require a much TLC; instead, it’s about adding layers of warmth, comfort, and cozy touches that enhance your space to feel unique to you. Whether you’re layering soft textures, incorporating winter-inspired decor, or adding a cozy nook, your owner’s suite can become the perfect place to unwind and relax all winter long. Embrace the season, and make your bedroom a warm, inviting haven that’s ready for cozy nights and peaceful sleep.
