How To Plan A Master Bedroom Renovation
The master bedroom is one of the most important rooms in the entirety of your home.
Considering we spend a third of our lives asleep, having a tranquil master bedroom that you can relax in after a stressful day is a necessity.
Renovating your bedroom can be a daunting prospect, but with the right designers, the process can be as seamless as possible.
There are multiple steps to take in the planning process of renovating a master bedroom. These steps include:
Finding inspiration for your new bedroom
Determining your budget
Selecting the appropriate designers
Vacating the area and preparing another room to sleep in
Understanding the renovation timeline and trusting the process
Begin the planning process by finding inspiration for your bedroom renovation and collecting photos of what you’d like to achieve.
1. Finding Inspiration For Your New Bedroom
The first step of planning you should take for your master bedroom is to find inspiration.
Websites such as Pinterest are great for finding inspiration and collecting photos. In addition to this, you can also use individual designer’s photo galleries to help you get a better idea of what you want to achieve from your bedroom renovation.
Setting a goal and gaining a clear understanding of what you want to achieve is important so that you’re able to relay this information to your chosen bedroom designers. The more specific you are, the less you leave important details up for interpretation.

2. Determining Your Budget
Once you’ve gained a better idea of what you want to achieve with your bedroom renovation, it’s a good idea to determine your budget.
Doing this before you start looking for designers is always a good idea, as this will help to narrow the search within the budget and minimise the risk of overspending.
Remember to remain realistic when you’re outlining your budget. While many companies offer finance payment plans, you don’t want to be putting yourself in debt for the sake of your bedroom renovation.
As such, always select a budget that is within your means, and do this before you look for designers to ensure you’re not wasting any time on something you later find out that you can’t afford.
Determining a realistic budget is an essential part of the process when planning any renovation.
3. Selecting The Appropriate Designers
Next, you will need to conduct thorough research in order to help you select the appropriate designers for your bedroom renovation.
When you’re looking for a bedroom designer for your renovation, be sure to look at Google reviews and ask family and friends on any that they’ve previously used and recommend.
Reviews offer you important information on a new company you’ve never dealt with before, giving you a better understanding of whether you want to invest in them or not.
At Cwtch Haus, each bedroom is designed and tailored to the individual needs of each customer. By placing an emphasis on creating bespoke furniture that is both beautiful and practical, with our help you can design your perfect cosy bedroom renovation whilst still prioritising functionality.
4. Vacating The Area & Preparing Another Room To Sleep In
The next step of the planning process is to vacate the area and prepare another room to sleep in for the duration of the bedroom renovation.
What you have done during the renovation process will determine how thorough you need to be about vacating the area. If the entire room is being done, you will likely need to take down any furniture and remove it from the space to ensure that the builders have easy access to the room.
That said, if the job is slightly less labour intensive, you might be able to get away with leaving some furniture in the room.
You will also need to prepare another room to sleep in whilst the work is ongoing in the master bedroom. This comes down to the fact that inhalation of dust can cause various symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, and can even worsen existing health conditions.
As a result, you will need to prepare a room away from the ongoing work to ensure that you’re taking care of your health.
Be sure to prepare another room to sleep in during the renovation process, to ensure that you’re prioritising your health and your sleep.
5. Understanding The Renovation Timeline & Trusting The Process
Last, but not least, you should understand the renovation timeline and trust the process.
While any renovation can feel like a daunting prospect whilst it's ongoing, it’s essential to surrender to the process to help manage any anxiety you may feel throughout it.
It’s important to remain flexible and recognise that delays can occur along the way. By trusting the process, you’ll be able to manage your expectations if your project runs into delays or bumps in the road.
The most important thing to remember is that it will all be worth it in the end.
