Men need a spot for tossing coins and keys and other odds and ends at the end of the day. They also need to have easy access to these things when needed. Simple coin trays and/or dresser top storage items can hide a myriad of stuff with style. A separate tall boy just for socks, ties and underwear might be a welcoming accessory. Give your master bath a classical design with Savoy tile by Crossville®.

It's recommended for use on bathroom walls, floors and vanity tops.

Think about the various activities you'd like to do — reading in a comfy lounge chair or sofa, enjoying breakfast on the patio, exercising in a private gym, watching TV in bed or making a drink at wet bar. These are all items that you and your partner need to discuss, but certainly worth considering if you want to create a retreat that reminds you of your favorite 5-star hotel.

However, before you begin to design your master suite make sure that you and your partner commit to doing ALL the product selection together. That means everything from the shower to the bedding to the toothbrush holder. |
