Attic to Oasis: Serene Master Suite Conversion in South Orange, NJ

This master ensuite renovation showcases a transformative attic conversion that now serves as a tranquil, light-filled retreat for a growing family. Originally an underutilized attic, this space was reimagined into a functional and beautifully detailed master suite that invites both relaxation and rejuvenation. The sloped ceilings now clad in warm cedar add architectural interest while enhancing the sense of natural comfort throughout the space.

A major design challenge was the incorporation of the existing brick chimney, which was preserved and highlighted as a striking, rustic design element that grounds the space with texture and history. The use of wide-plank flooring, thoughtful built-ins, and natural materials contribute to a calm, cohesive environment. Expansive windows and skylights fill the room with daylight, emphasizing the airy, spacious quality of the new layout.

The craftsmanship is evident in the seamless integration of millwork, the precision of vaulted ceiling transitions, and the custom built-ins for storage and entertainment. From the reading nook to the warm wood tones of the custom wardrobe and trim, every detail is intentionally selected to make this addition feel like it has always belonged to the original home, all while offering modern comfort and style.
