What is a split bedroom?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Lance Thomas, principal of Thomas Guy Interiors<\/a>, explains that a split bedroom floor plan has bedrooms on different sides of the house. The primary bedroom is split from the other bedrooms, typically by the common spaces of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These types of bedrooms can be most commonly found in split-level homes or ones with staggered levels. Thomas says these homes were at their most popular in the mid-20th century\u2014in the 1950s and 1960s\u2014and were built as an offshoot of ranch-style homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis floor plan is typically found in one-story homes, however, it can also include basements or garages in their floor plan,\u201d Thomas adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Split bedrooms have quite a few benefits, according to Thomas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the flip side, there are some disadvantages to a split bedroom design.

It means the bedrooms in the home are separated by common spaces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the pros include the opportunity to customize the bedrooms since they\u2019re far apart from one another, the chance to have an open and central space between bedrooms, and improved privacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “It\u2019s perfect for large families sharing the space, or if you\u2019re working from home, it creates a sense of separation from your work life and your home life,\u201d says Thomas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, this is known as a split bedroom since it resides in a split-level home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA split bedroom floor plan has bedrooms on different sides of the house,\u201d Thomas says. The primary bedroom is split from the other bedrooms, typically by the common spaces of the house. Usually, it\u2019s the kitchen, living room, or even a dining room, explains Thomas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter what type of floor plan you have in your home, Saatva has everything you need to furnish your bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From high-quality mattresses<\/a> to sheets<\/a> to pillows<\/a> and even bedroom furniture<\/a> like benches<\/span> and ottomans<\/span>, Saatva has you\u2014and your bedroom\u2014covered. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re exploring split bedrooms and go over the pros and cons of a split bedroom floor plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":26658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[392,393],"tags":[],"coauthors":[418],"guest":[],"host":[],"class_list":["post-26657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bedroom-style","category-bedroom-styling-guides"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/70"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26657\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26657"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=26657"},{"taxonomy":"guest","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/guest?post=26657"},{"taxonomy":"host","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saatva.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/host?post=26657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Benefits of a split bedroom plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
