16 Ways to Reach the Master Suite
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 1: White column entrance
These statement-making white columns create a grand master bedroom entrance.
All major living areas - including the formal dining room - have clear lines of sight to the master bedroom entrance, guaranteeing attention to this upscale design choice.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 2: Extra-large framed entrance
A framed entrance - sometimes called a "bump out" wall - can create a similar look to columns, while creating a more fluid appearance that blends the master bedroom entrance into the surrounding walls.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 3: Archway entrance
If you want your master bedroom door to be off-set from the living room, a short arched hallway entrance will give you plenty of separation between rooms.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 4: Hidden master bedroom entrance
The staircase and master bedroom entrance are each hidden from view in this custom design/build floor plan.
Just around the corner from the living room, you can get a glimpse of the master entrance:
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 5: Private hall entrance
A private hallway leads to the entrance of this master bedroom.
Since the master doorway is out of sight from all main living areas, subtle wall sconces highlight the suite from the inside.
Here is the floor plan for this home - a version of the Sutherland, Alan Mascord floor plan design. You can see how long this master bedroom hallway is, compared to master suites located just off the living room.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 6: Barrel vault hallway entrance
A custom barrel vault hallway leads the way to this master suite.
The hallway mimics the barrel vault foyer, creating an eye-pleasing continuity of design.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 7: Double entry doors
A two door design leads into this master bedroom - with a built-in art niche visible to the main living areas.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 8: Arched hallway to dual door entrance
An arched entrance leads to a short hallway - creating a intricately beautiful entrance.

Just inside the master suite, an art niche is painted in an accent gray, to offset the arched detailing.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 9: Art niche hallway
While an art niche is located inside two of master suites above, this art nook takes center stage in the angled hallway leading to the master.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 10: Beside the laundry room
A second floor laundry room is a top request in homes with all bedrooms located upstairs.
In this design/build Stanton Home, the master suite entrance is just feet from the laundry room, making your daily chores much easier.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 11: Portico design
A portico-style entrance with hanging light leads to the master suite in this Raleigh custom home.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 12: Step-up entry
Varying your ceiling height is a design technique custom home builders use to subtly create more interest.
A raised ceiling on the first floor creates a step-up room on the second floor. In this home, the master suite has a step up entry - making it stand out above the loft.
The hardwood step matches the staircase design.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 13: Simple single door entrance
A single door entrance is a simpler design - often found in homes with the master suite located on the second floor - is ideal for those who want to de-emphasize the master suite location on the first floor.
Master Bedroom Entrance Design 14: Aging in Place and wheelchair accessible
This master suite is fully handicapped accessible, with a widened doorway designed for easy wheelchair entry.
No matter what aging in place features you're looking for, Stanton Homes has the knowledge, expertise, and experience to build you a home to suit your lifestyle and needs.

Master Bedroom Entrance Design 16: Beside a pocket office or built-in desk
