Empty nesters might be feeling the blues after their grown-up children leave. With a reliable general contractor to help them, they can create spaces that grow old with them and bring joy. In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Beaverton lists the best upgrades to have at home for empty nesters.
Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen remodeling lets homeowners simplify their kitchen preparations and free more space. You can update your cabinets, countertops and appliances to add more storage. You can also ask your contractor for new flooring and lighting ideas to get the look you want for your kitchen.
Bathroom Remodeling
Bathroom remodeling is another great option for empty nesters. Make your bathroom more relaxing by installing new fixtures and plumbing improvements. Furthermore, accessible remodeling contractors can install non-slip flooring, grab bars and raised toilets to make the space easier to use as you age.
Basement Remodeling
Basement remodeling allows empty nesters to add extra space for work or play. Consider transforming it into an entertainment room where you can lounge or receive visitors. It can also accommodate extra rooms for when your children come home for the holidays. If you need help figuring out where to start, ask your contractor for suggestions to improve the space.
Attic Renovations
You can turn your attic into an extra room, home office, guest bedroom or hobby room. Your contractor will add structural support so the space can endure more weight and foot traffic. Furthermore, they can help you apply for permits to renovate your attic properly.
Deck and Patio Upgrades
Decks and patios are a great way to add outdoor living space to a home. You can ask your chosen remodeler to design an outdoor kitchen to your patio or a fire pit for grilling. They can also create a design for outdoor lounging for all seasons.
Improved Landscaping
A beautiful garden and yard never fail to add beauty and value to a home. Your renovation expert can add plant boxes to house beautiful flowers like astrantia, azalea and caladium. Forsythia and creeping Jenny are perfect for upgrading your landscaping if you’re on the green side of things.
