As we slowly emerge from the recent pandemic, health and safety have become more important than ever in the design and construction industry. Even for many homeowners, safety and well-being come first for their families. This can be applied to your home in several ways, but you’ll need to work with a trusted remodeler who knows which features and elements can provide better safety and wellness for your loved ones. They’ll also know how much it will cost you and provide an honest bathroom or kitchen quote if you’re only planning to remodel those areas with the necessary upgrades.
When it comes to improving your home’s health and safety, consider some of the trending safety and wellness designs for your remodel. These include:
Outdoor Safety and Wellness Features
Common outdoor living projects include patio or deck builds, external kitchens, and ample seating space. They help promote wellness and health just for the fact that you get to enjoy the company of your family and friends while outdoors. Not only that, but you also get to take full advantage of your landscape and enjoy its sights and sounds. Consider giving your deck and yard a boost with features such as better nighttime lighting and roofed areas to protect against the weather.
Bathroom or Kitchen Remodeling
If you’re planning a total redo of your bathroom or kitchen, don’t forget to consider the needs and preferences of your immediate family. Let’s say you have elderly loved ones with limited mobility. You can discuss with an accessible remodeling contractor about certain features that can help make your bathroom and kitchen safer and more convenient for them. These include lowered countertops, sinks with leg room for wheelchair access, walk-in tubs or showers, and grab bars.
Smart Home Upgrades
Smart homes have always been popular in the design and construction industry, but in recent years since the beginning of the pandemic, they’ve been trending more than ever. Modern homes can be remodeled with smart technology which allows better control of your doors, windows, lights, appliances, and other features for better comfort and convenience for their occupants. Smart home technology also makes it easier to manage air filtration, water filtration, and other health-related needs.
If you want to upgrade your home with smart features, you can start by installing a smart thermostat for your HVAC system. They’re programmed to ensure year-round comfort by managing indoor air quality and temperatures. They can be controlled through an app on your phone or tablet for ease of use. You can also upgrade your lighting to feature voice activation controls for better convenience and comfort for those with limited accessibility!
