Homeowners can choose to put their master bedrooms either on the main floor or one of the others. Although both have their advantages, main-floor master bedrooms are becoming more and more popular.

Here are some of the reasons to choose main-floor master bedrooms:

  • Main-floor master bedrooms are more accessible than their other-floor counterparts. This is a big benefit for older homeowners and other people who find it difficult to get around because it saves them multiple trips up and down the stairs.
  • Homes with main-floor master bedrooms are more accommodating in the long run. Most people find it harder to move around as their age increases, making it important to install elevators and railings on the stairs for safe navigation. Having a main-floor master bedroom reduces that need.
  • People living in main-floor master bedrooms have convenient access to other amenities such as the bathroom, the kitchen, and the patio.
  • Putting the most important rooms on the same floor also means reduced cooling and heating costs because unused floors can be ignored most of the time.
  • Main-floor master bedrooms also help resell the home because most homeowners find them better suited to their personal needs.
