The bedroom portion is 17'x11' they we have a 11'x11' walk in (i assume most of which was that other bedroom) and a decent size bathroom with tub and double sinks. Right now it feels really big, when we up dated to a king size bed at one point we had both mattresses on the floor in the room and there was still space to walk. We currently only have our bed and 2 night stands and we're trying to figure out what we need to add - reading chair, dresser, bookcase. to balance the space in the room better. caterw on "How big is your master bedroom?

It's the larger bedroom but our closet is smaller than DD's. I actually really like it even though it's half- 2/3 the size of our previous bedroom. We got rid of a LOT when we downsized and I love having everything be streamlined. We share a smallish dresser (one large/ one small drawer each) and split a regular one-door closet so it doesn't feel cramped to us. Boogs on "How big is your master bedroom?

Would love to have the space for a second dresser and a bench at the end of the bed. travellingbee on "How big is your master bedroom?

It feels big but not excessively. We have a small armoire, a small desk, a dresser and a king size bed with night stands. oliviaoblivia on "How big is your master bedroom?

A lot of the toilets are because there is a ballroom. So if there are 250+ people in your ballroom you need facilities to support that. ShootingStar on "How big is your master bedroom?

The bedroom is good sized and fits everything we need. The closets are nice sized, I love that we have two separate walk-ins. The only complaint I have is the bathroom. We have a nice two person shower and double sinks, but not enough room for a tub too. sunny on "How big is your master bedroom?

I mean... what if you had to go REALLY BAD!? Can you imagine sprinting from one end of the house to the other to find one of only 15 bathrooms!?

I guess I knew that the homes were big, but I didn't know a master suite could be 2000 sqft there! I thought the homes were in the 5000-7000 sqft range. I guess there are always a few extra large ones. oliviaoblivia on "How big is your master bedroom?

The bedroom alone could fit eight king size beds. They had it set up with two conversation sofas across from the fireplace, a bench at the end of their custom size bed. kes18 on "How big is your master bedroom?

I can't remember exactly. But it fits a king, two side tables, a wide dresser (but not too wide front to back) and a tall, narrow dresser. Plus I have room to squeeze a crib in there even though that is making things real tight. I think it's fine. I don't think I'd complain if it was a little bit bigger, but I wouldn't want too much more Mrs. Pen on "How big is your master bedroom?

Like 12x14 I think? We fit our queen bed and side tables just fine and will be adding a wardrobe and crib shortly. It should fit pretty nicely without feeling too cramped. avivoca on "How big is your master bedroom?

All the bedrooms are about the same size, around 225 sq ft. The one we use as the "master" just has the biggest closet. The three main-floor bedrooms share one bath, and there's one bedroom and a 3/4 bath in the walk-out basement. At some point, we could renovate the lower level to create a master suite, but I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping on a different floor than DD at this point. For the most part, I think the bedrooms are a good size, but we don't have a dresser or bureau in our room (just utilize closet space) and if we did, it might feel a bit cramped.

Pun intended :silly: I think the rest of the master uses space better than the bedroom itself. Our bathroom isn't too large; now if I wore make up daily and did my own hair I maybe would want more space like a built in vanity. We have room to grow into our shared WIC. Instead of making the WIC massive there's a bonus room that is used to hide DH's ugly couches. He works from home in that room. MaryM on "How big is your master bedroom?

It's an odd configuration though. It looked big when we were house shopping, but it was staged with a queen sized bed and no dressers in it. Once we put a king sized bed in, it pretty small. And there's a sliding glass door that takes up half a wall. Then add two dressers, a walk in closet, and a master bath (that's honestly pretty tiny) and it's a weird L shape with a giant bed taking up most of it. When it was designed and most people slept in double beds, I bet it was considered really spacious. Truth Bombs on "How big is your master bedroom?

I have no clue how big, but unnecessarily giant. My husband's closet is probably 100 sqft and there's another one for me. It also has a covered porch off of it which I love, but don't use enough because my darn kids are so needy and don't give me much time for reading/drinking wine on the porch. I would trade some of the space to make my kids rooms a bit bigger. We have a really big house, but the kids rooms are not to scale to the rest of the house which is kind of a bummer. snowjewelz on "How big is your master bedroom?

I mean, what else do I really need in there?! runnerd on "How big is your master bedroom? Do you like the size?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-big-is-your-master-bedroom-do-you-like-the-size#post-2612757 Mon, 29 Aug 2016 13:31:09 +0000 runnerd 2612757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 12 x 15 (180) it's just about right.. Maybe 13 x 15 would be nice because the one wall doesn't feel quite spacish enough to add a furniture piece and have plenty of walking room. Otherwise, walking room without extra space to have to come up with decorating ideas just to fill it. ETA: I'm not counting the master bath/closet that are off of bedroom, but they are nothing write home about oliviaoblivia on "How big is your master bedroom?

But once you live there, it's such a waste. We live in a townhouse so our master is pretty small, but I think it's almost perfect. I wish it were possible to fit a king bed in there, so I would appreciate a little more room for that. Not any bigger though. Littlebit7 on "How big is your master bedroom?

However our current furniture is too bulky (I'm talking 8-10 extra inches of width and height for the two dressers and 4-6" extra on the two side table)s. And we also have two tall ikea bookshelves (no other room for them and the master is sorta a kid-free zone, or at least no unsupervised time in there). So I guess if I had less crap in there, and my ideal furniture, the size wouldn't be bad. Cosy, but nice. MOMTOLITTLEB on "How big is your master bedroom?

There's also a massive closet and a sitting area with a fireplace. Honestly it's not neccessary and it doesn't match the rest of the house but I like having the space. I would definitely prefer to have bigger living space downstairs, but it's just not how the house is set up. Our house is nice but not crazy, just has a nice master bedroom addition. I do feel like we get good use from the space and I'll enjoy having a little nursery in there when our next baby is born. BelugaBean on "How big is your master bedroom?

LO1's room isn't much smaller. We didn't want a huge master though, so we love the size. It fits everything without being too cramped and has a small bathroom attached. Our last rental had a master bigger than the living room and we definitely wanted more living room space than bedroom space.
