Master Bedroom Tray Ceiling Ideas

The master bedroom is your space, your retreat, your quiet, calming place.  The ceiling can reflect your personality and be a unique detail in this special part of your new home.

Adding a Trey Ceiling to Your New Home

Most builders offer trey ceilings as an option, but you may be limited to one particular style and size.  Other builders have several options.  Some custom builders like Stanton Homes can allow you to design a truly unique trey ceiling with your builder.

This master bedroom features a sitting area.  Both rooms offer a single depth octagonal trey ceiling, with a recess for optional accent lighting.  

The depth or height of a trey ceiling can be limited by what's above - if there is a room directly above the master suite, the trey ceiling might "drop" rather than "raise" the ceiling, and is usually limited to about 6 inches or so.

This master suite also features a private sitting room.  Here, the trey ceiling "interconnects" the two rooms in a truly unique treatment custom designed for the space.

This master bedroom features an extended height trey ceiling, with multiple layers of crown moulding. 

The "lower step" of the trey extends inward towards the center of the room, and an electrical outlet included inside the recess allows for the addition of future accent lighting.

A deep, bold color can really set off the architectural details in a trey ceiling.  The bright white of the crown moulding stands out very well against a deep blue, red, or green.

This dual step trey ceiling highlights alternating bands of ceiling color and wall color.

A luxury home can include all kinds of unique details.  This sloped trey ceiling in the master bedroom includes picture frame wainscoating details, along with a wallpaper treatment for the base of the trey.

The medallion centers the light fixture as the highlight of the room.

The width of the "steps" in a stepped trey ceiling can vary, changing the look and feel of the room. 

Standard widths vary between 6", 12", and 18" per step, though other options can also be constructed.  Steps size should be proportionate to room size.

A wider step can create a more ornate feel for the same trey ceiling. 

The wider the steps, the more materials and labor are required for the framing, painting, and trimwork in the trey ceiling. 

An extra deep octagonal trey ceiling painted with an accent color adds a lot of height and depth to the ceiling, without a huge expense.  This type of ceiling treatment can look very appealing in master bedrooms of many different sizes and shapes.

Standard height of each step in a trey ceiling is usually 8" to 10" per step.

Thus a room may have a 8' ceiling height for the "outermost" portion of the ceiling not part of the trey, then 8'8" height for the first step, and 9'6" inside the trey itself.  But heights can vary by room and design.

 Talk to your builder about the design you'd like to see in your new master bedroom.  Bring pictures, and explain what you have in mind!   

Designing Your New Lifestyle - Your New Home in Raleigh NC

Above all, it's your new home.  The place where you'll come home every night, invite your friends, play, do homework, and LIVE. 

Gather ideas, then talk to your builder about how to best fit those ideas inside your budget.  Want to get started?

5 Easy Steps to Buying a Lot or Land in the Raleigh Area

Other Available Land and Lots in Communities

Fees and interest rates are about to go up, with government-mandated changes that can cost unaware home buyers thousands.

Both FHA funding and interest rates are set to change - and not in the direction many homebuyers would like to see. 

This information is from Bill Dixon, a real estate agent with Zip Realty in Raleigh NC.

"Important FHA information for home buyers, A must read!

Those who wait will pay thousands more or not be able to buy this spring.

Important potential home buyer's information:

Waiting a few extra days or weeks to purchase a home this spring could cost buyers thousands of extra dollars as the office of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) implements several changes for loan guaranteed by the Federal Housing Authority (FHA)

Changes that will affect home buyers:

    1. On April 5^th, the cost of up-front MIP (mortgage insurance premium) will go up from

        1.75% to 2.25%. A purchase of a $200,000 home will have typically $965 increase in

        PMI .This will make up front cost more and will affect monthly payments.

    2. Later this spring, the amount of money that a seller can return to a buyer from the

        proceeds of the sale will be reduced from 6% to 3%. This loss of buyer concessions on a

       $200,000 home could cost the buyer an extra up-front out of pocket closing experience

        of $6,000.

Proposed changes that could be coming:

HUD Secretary Donovan and FHA Commissioner testified that they expected FHA to announce major changes to ensure FHA's long term financial soundness.

1.     Increase the down payment required from 3.5% to 5%.

2.     Eliminate the ability to roll into the loan MIP

3.     Raise minimum FICO scores.

4.     Possibly LTV (loan to value) maximums to FICO scores

5.     Increase accountability of FHA Lenders for fraud.

These changes come into effect a long about the time the present Tax Rebate deadline is reached. This is a double whammy on "waiting for the right time buyers." Interest rates are at historic lows but cyclical trends suggest they will soon rise. Home buyers may never see such a chance again."

Thanks Bill for sharing these upcoming changes and proposed changes.

Bottom line - stay in touch with a good lender, and have that preapproval ready.  Interest rates are at historic lows, and won't get lower.  Inventory is reducing, and pricing is just starting to creep back upwards.

Wondering how to save money in your new home?

Tips on What's Worth Upgrading - From a Custom Home Builder

Smart home building tips for the Kitchen

This questionnaire will help you determine where to spend your money in the kitchen as you  build - and what you can do differently, later.

1. Where do you spend your time in the kitchen? Factor in ease-of-use and functionality.

2.  Who hangs there with you? Do you need an island, breakfast bar, or conversation corner? Do the countertops need to incorporate extra width or arches, or will something simple do?

3.  How important is the overall look and feel - layout, cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, cooking, sink capacity?

4.  How much traffic flow through capability is necessary?

5.  How much usage will the room get? Do you need the strength of granite, or will a laminate be sufficient?

6.  What's a reasonable cabinetry package for your budget?  Do you need a higher-end wood like cherry or exotics, or will a maple or oak package with lots of extra storage options be better for you? 

7.  Cooking for a crowd? Need two ovens, deep freeze, heavy duty dishwasher?

Some things are more costly than others to change later.  Here's what to focus on:

Layout

The layout is extremely expensive to do all over again. Expanding the kitchen to gain more space involves major renovations that can cost three times more later than during initial construction.

Adding an island or moving major appliances

Another costly renovation; unless your kitchen has a lot of extra space, an island added later can actually reduce your ability to maneuver.

Deciding the oven would be better in another area means rewiring and restructuring, plus changes to cabinetry (which may not match the originals). 

Major structural changes to a kitchen can be the most costly change in the house.

Adding windows

The ability to add windows or sky lights later can depend on the construction of your home. It's not always possible to put it where you want it, once the home has been completed, due to structural issues. This is one of the things you'll want to get right, the first time.  Not sure?  Talk to your builder about "preframing" a future window. 

Adding lighting

If you're going to want a lot of lights in the ceiling, under the cabinets, or in special areas, this is something you'll pay a lot less for if you have it wired when the house is under construction. Doing it later can involve a lot more time and complexity. 

However, you don't need to spend a lot of money up front on the latest designer lighting fixtures.  If the prewire is in place, you can add many of the fixtures later.

Start simple, with basic lighting.

Putting in a bigger pantry

If you want a big, walk-in pantry, you're going to pay a whole lot less to start right out with that. Unless you're willing to knock out some walls and lose some space later in the adjoining family room, dining room or hallway, there's just no way to add another room in the middle of the house without a lot more work than you're going to want to adjust to.

Cabinets

If you decide on inexpensive cabinets, don't be under the mistaken impression they can be changed out easily later on.

The process can involve much more than the cupboards - including removal of countertops, flooring, trimwork and appliances. Ask your builder how to choose a quality cabinetry that you'll be happy with, without breaking the bank - and start with these tips:

Type of Wood - Consider oak or maple as an alternative to more expensive hickory or cherry choices.  A well-made cabinet can be just as appealing in a variety of different species, at varying costs.  

Glazes and Special Finishes - a glaze can add 15-35% or more to your total cabinetry package.  Consider accent pieces as an alternative if you're on a tight budget. A pair of glass doors or a contrasting accent door hardware can spark up the decor at a lower cost.    

Storage Solutions - Have your builder tell you whether that built-in recycle center or wine rack involves an extra charge. It may be just what you want - but find out what it's costing, just in case.

Countertops

The difference in cost can be huge depending on what kind of countertop you use. Recycled glass countertops may sound economical, but can cost three times as much as granite. Your builder can walk you through the choices, benefits and costs of every option out there, so you know just what you're getting - and paying.

Countertop questions to ask your builder:

What kind of countertops are best for each room?

What would it take to change countertops in a few years?

What are my best ways to save money on countertops?

Will a few changes in design save some money on countertops?

Flooring

Starting with a laminate floor won't break the budget later if you decide to go tile or hardwood. The floor is one of the easier things in the kitchen to change later - and many kinds of flooring can be done with some "do it yourself" skills. 

Appliances

As long as you don't want two ovens instead of one, or a bigger appliance than what you're starting with, changing out appliances is not going to involve ripping apart the entire kitchen. But before you decide to start with the most economical brands available, determine other cost factors such as energy saving and estimated life cycle. 

Ask your builder if you can supply your own appliances - then shop around for the very best pricing. 

Keeping Upgrades in Line

Talk to your builder about your lifestyle, and let him help guide your choices, from layout through amenities.  Ask your builder if they'll let you take a second look at all your choices before making a final decision - sometimes it's easier to decide when you can sit down with the price tag for each feature.

Stanton Homes works hard to protect the beautiful land and environment in gorgeous Chatham County.  Our green building practices help protect the land during construction, and enable homeowners to reduce energy and water consumption on a daily basis.  Less energy consumed means lower carbon emissions, and more effective management of natural resources. 

The Horizon community offers beautiful level or rolling acre plus lots just one mile off 15/501, only five minutes from shopping.  Only 26 lots remain in Phase One.

Horizon is only about 10 minutes from Jordan Lake, and 5 minutes from the Haw River.
