Creating a Welcoming Entrance

To make a strong first impression, Rebecca Hay chose a striking church-style door with curved detailing for the entrance to the principal suite. This door not only adds character to the space but also sets the tone for the serene atmosphere inside.

The church-style door with its unique design elements creates a focal point that draws you into the room. Its curved detailing adds a touch of elegance and softness, reflecting the overall aesthetic of the makeover.

Choosing a Calming Color Palette

One of the key elements in creating a soothing space is the color palette. For this principal suite makeover, Rebecca Hay opted for soft and muted tones, such as pale blues, grays, and whites.

These calming colors create a sense of tranquility and relaxation, making the room feel like a true retreat. The use of light colors also helps to maximize the natural light in the attic space, giving it an airy and open feel.

Transforming the Attic into a Functional Space

In order to turn the attic into a functional and practical space, Rebecca Hay made use of clever storage solutions. Custom built-in cabinetry was installed along the walls, providing ample storage for clothes, accessories, and other personal belongings.

By utilizing the vertical space and incorporating smart storage solutions, the attic now serves as both a serene bedroom and a practical dressing area. This enables the couple to make the most out of the limited square footage available.

Adding a Walk-Out Deck for Outdoor Relaxation

One of the standout features of this principal suite makeover is the addition of a walk-out deck. Accessible through French doors, the deck provides a private outdoor space for the couple to relax and unwind.

The walk-out deck is furnished with comfortable seating, allowing the couple to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and fresh air. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening retreat.
