What if you had a huge master bedroom but wanted a cozier space? I know, I know. Most of us are longing for more space. But seriously, there are people out there who have really open floor plans who long for a more intimate room (and lower heating/cooling bills).

Case in point: Hubsters and I have been considering (i.e. dreaming) buying a house in the (hopefully) near future. There is a great development near us that we really like that includes a few different home builders, namely D R Horton.

One of their floorplans is called "Saratoga", and includes a massive master bedroom. I mean HUGE people. When I took my three-year-old daughter through the model she gasped "wow!" and immediately started running circles around the room singing the break out song from Disney's "Tangled".

I could go running and racing
And dancing and chasing
And leaping and bounding
Hair flying, heart pounding...

Yeah, like big open field, big.

So! What do you do if decorating and defining a huge room like that is all a little overwhelming? How about blocking off 1/3 of the room with a wall, add a wide doorway, and create a master entry with sitting room/dressing area. The new master "entry" gives you additional wall space for a gallery wall, pretty table, console, dresser, and/or slipper chair, while also creating a more intimate space and adding lots of character and interest to your home. The master can still house a large bed, side tables, and a pretty chaise lounge and/or ottoman.

Here's a little diagram I whipped up in Photoshop for some visualization.
