When it comes to building your dream home, few experiences rival the freedom and flexibility of working with an on-your-lot custom home builder like Adair Homes. From the foundation to the finishing touches, you have the opportunity to design a home that perfectly reflects your lifestyle, taste, and comfort. One of the most personal and luxurious areas in any home is the primary suite. This serene sanctuary isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a space designed with elegance and relaxation in mind, offering endless customization possibilities.
With Adair Homes, you’ll be invited to work with one of our professional interior designers to customize the look and feel of your spaces. You’ll also have the ability to add special touches to the room—whether that means moving walls or simply adding custom installations like bookshelves or walk-in closets.
Primary Suite: The Gold Standard in Comfort
So, what sets the primary suite apart from a traditional bedroom? While both are meant to serve as personal havens, the primary suite elevates the experience with more space, personal touches, and privacy. It’s a secluded escape from the rest of the home, often featuring thoughtful amenities such as walk-in closets, a sitting area, or a study. With ample natural light and often a scenic view, the primary suite becomes more than just a bedroom—it’s a space where you can unwind, reflect, and feel entirely at ease. When designing this personal sanctuary, homeowners are turning to the latest design trends to create an environment that's both unique and chic.
Don’t know where to start? Here are three of the most popular trends we’ve seen gain ground in 2024.
Cashmere Comfort: A Minimalist Haven
For 2024, Cashmere Comfort remains a popular trend in primary suite design. This style is all about balancing simplicity with luxurious elements. Imagine a bedroom where soft whites, creamy hues, and warm metallics like gold and copper come together to create a space that is both inviting and modern. Natural fibers—such as cotton, linen, and wool—are used throughout, from upholstery to bedding.
Cashmere Comfort is all about that old-money minimalism look, with clean lines and furniture that makes a statement without being overwhelming. You might find antique furniture with carved or rounded legs paired with organic textures—think wool throws, velvet pillows, and linen curtains. The result is a space that feels both classic and modern, stylish and comfortable—the perfect balance for a primary suite.
Living Designs: Bringing Nature Indoors
For those looking to cultivate a tranquil, grounded space, Living Designs offer a perfect solution. Organic materials bring nature’s serenity indoors, fostering a sense of calm that’s ideal for a restful retreat. Invest in a collection of indoor plants that thrive in your environment. Try pairing a taller, large-leaf plant with smaller, petite blooms, and display them in groups of different heights. Add personality to the space with unique pots in your favorite colors or textures.
Large windows that allow bright, natural light to fill the room enhance the connection to the outdoors. Adair Homes allows owners to carefully place their home on their property, taking into account view corridors, natural light, and the orientation of the home to the elements. Imagine waking up every morning to your perfect view! Living Designs aren’t limited to contemporary homes; earthy elements can also beautifully complement Craftsman-style homes, especially when paired with darker wood finishes and jewel tones.
Cottage Core: A Touch of the Past
For homeowners with an affinity for vintage aesthetics, “Cottage Core” is still going strong in 2024. Vintage-inspired patterns, soft pastel color palettes, and retro elements are beautifying primary suites. French Country furniture, bold floral or paisley accents, and soft hues like pale greens and dusty pinks evoke the charm of a bygone era. Even bolder choices—such as terra cotta or wine-colored accents—add depth and warmth, creating a space that feels both timeless and modern. Nostalgic designs blend beautifully with modern functionality, allowing homeowners to enjoy the best of both worlds in their personal retreat.
Personalizing Your Primary Suite with Structural Enhancements
Adair Homes takes customization even further by offering structural elements that truly make your primary suite a personal retreat. Here are some design possibilities that can turn your suite into the ultimate sanctuary:
- A Secluded Oasis: Many homeowners are choosing to place the primary suite on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. This design allows for a peaceful retreat, separated from the noise and activity of the rest of the home. Our Mt. Hood plan is a great example of this layout.
- Separate Closets: Customizing closet space to suit each partner’s needs is a growing trend. Separate closets not only offer ample storage but also provide a more organized, personalized space. If this isn’t a “must-have,” most of Adair’s plans already feature generously sized closets in the primary suite.
- Indoor-Outdoor Living: Another popular customization is connecting the primary suite to the outdoors. Adair’s Eden and Saratoga floor plans feature this modern indoor-outdoor living trend, where the primary bedroom opens directly onto a patio. Homeowners love this design, as it allows for easy access to outdoor spaces without ever leaving the comfort of their bedroom.
- Custom Bathrooms: The primary bathroom is a space where personalization can truly shine. Whether you want a freestanding tub for soaking away stress, a walk-in shower with glass doors, or dual vanities for added convenience, Adair Homes offers countless options. These features create a spa-like atmosphere where homeowners can relax and unwind.
- Multi-Generational Living: Why have just one primary bedroom when you can have two? Adair Homes’ Ashland plan, designed for multi-generational living, offers dual primary suites. This layout is perfect for families who want to create a home that accommodates multiple generations with ease.
Adding Minimalist Tech: Where Convenience Meets Comfort
No matter what style of interior design you’re drawn to, today’s technology is a welcome addition to the primary suite. For the tech-savvy homeowner, minimalist technology can transform the suite into a hub of innovation without sacrificing the tranquil atmosphere. Smart home features—such as programmable lighting, motorized blinds, and hidden entertainment systems—integrate seamlessly into the space. Imagine unwinding in a room where you can adjust the mood lighting or set the blinds to close as you drift off to sleep, all without leaving your bed! Minimalist tech not only enhances functionality but also keeps the overall aesthetic uncluttered by wires and cords, ensuring technology doesn’t disrupt the peaceful ambiance.
Adair Homes can help you design your primary suite with a personalized touch. With the flexibility to adjust hundreds of plans to fit your lifestyle, you can add features like a wall of bookshelves, built-in dresser drawers, an expanded walk-in closet, or even an office nook off the suite.
The beauty of working with a custom home builder like Adair Homes is that you have the freedom to design your primary suite exactly as you envision it, adapting trends to fit your lifestyle while ensuring your space is as functional as it is beautiful. From the initial design to the final details, your primary suite will serve as a personal sanctuary, perfectly tailored to your needs. At Adair Homes, luxury and personalization come standard, and the dream of creating a serene, comfortable space is within reach.
