Being an empty nester allows you to change your living space according to your preferences. You can change your home to suit your interest and lifestyle. With careful planning and the assistance of an experienced home remodeler, you can transform your humble abode into its best version.
Here’s a quick guide to remodeling for empty nesters.
Prioritize Solving Problems First
The first step in any remodeling project is to address existing problems or damage to your home.
You must address plumbing issues, faulty wiring and water damage before construction starts. Failure to do so can put your safety at risk and cost you more in the long run. A general contractor might be able to help with these issues.
Consider Re-Doing Children’s Bedrooms
You can convert your kids’ old rooms into a home office, library or den. With a few tweaks on the decor or a fresh coat of paint, you can turn them into guest bedrooms for visiting family and friends.
Create Space in Your Home for Your Hobbies
It’s a great idea to have space for doing the things that give you joy. Do you love sewing, painting or woodworking? You can convert an existing room and tailor it to your hobbies. Then there is also the option of building an addition to expand your living space.
Upgrade Your Kitchen for Entertaining
Do you love hosting gatherings? With extra space, you can entertain more family and friends. You can make your kitchen the perfect venue for your parties by expanding it or changing its layout. Improving the lighting, updating appliances and adding seating are great ways to make the heart of your home more inviting.
Look Into Accessible Remodeling Options
Your needs change as you age, making it essential to factor in accessibility in your remodel. It will help ensure your home is safe and comfortable. Wider doorways, grab bars, and non-slip flooring are some features that will allow you to navigate your home with ease.
