# Your Master Bedroom: Where Should it Be?

- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)

You hear us talk a lot about your home design and the importance of [starting the design process early](https://blog.timberblock.com/home-design-process-timber-block). In fact, it's never too early to jump right in and start thinking about your floor plan, even if you're a couple - or even a few - years out.

Choosing a floor plan is a delicate process in your journey: you want to make sure you have everything you want in a dream home, and all of those things are in the right place!

While every room in the home is important to consider, the [master bedroom](https://www.timberblock.com/photo-gallery/) is almost always high on the list. So, what about the location of the master bedroom?

**Main Floor **

There are plenty of reasons why you'll see many floor plans with a main floor master:

- A main floor master is convenient
- Could result in extra privacy, especially if the rest of the bedrooms are upstairs
- Is looking ahead. It may be beneficial to think about retirement years and enjoy the ease of a main floor master

In addition, having your master tucked into the back may provide more privacy, and have a little "extra" piece and quiet.

**Main Floor Master Open to Nature **

This is common in many of our classic home designs, and it makes sense. If you're building a cottage-type home,  you're more than likely to have a view that's just as beautiful as the home itself! If you're planning on spending time outside, you may want to consider a set of sliding doors which open to a deck easy early morning access to enjoy your a.m. coffee!

**The Master Bedroom on the second floor**

Many homeowners may feel having their master bedroom on the 2nd floor of a 2-story home is the way to go. Many may feel it's more of a "retreat", or more peaceful than having a main floor master.

This home is a 2 bedroom home, with not just the master "upstairs", but the second bedroom is located on the second floor as well. This is beneficial all the way around - for those with children - especially younger children - or to use as quiet office space or work room, or to simply leave it as a guest room. 

In addition, having all bedrooms upstairs will mean more main floor space for those who want a larger kitchen, living, and/or dining rooms.
