Lake Melissa area, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota · A light-filled primary suite near Lake Melissa
The project
Room to unwind. Character to keep.
Near Lake Melissa, an addition to an existing cottage created a primary suite with space to slow down. The new bedroom, bathroom and dressing area extend the home's usefulness while staying close to its relaxed cottage character.
Painted wood walls, vaulted ceilings and a palette of whites and creams give the suite a soft, airy feel. A bedroom fireplace anchors the room, and a pair of sitting chairs creates a quiet place beside the windows.
The bathroom brings together a double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower and warm metal accents. Carefully integrated storage completes the addition, making everyday routines feel as considered as the spaces themselves.
