4 Ways to Remodel Your Home for Multigenerational Living

The rise in popularity of multigenerational households is led by an increasing number of graduates who choose to live at home while searching for employment. Aging family members who prefer to live with their relatives rather than move into assisted living is also another factor that will further increase the number of people engaged in multigenerational living.

While your parents or children may have no plans of moving in right now, it’s still a smart investment to incorporate multigenerational features during your home remodeling project. Legacy Design Build Remodeling, your expert home remodeling company, shares four excellent remodeling ideas to achieve this.

Remodel Your Bathroom. While you may enjoy the sleek and modern appeal of your current bathroom, if you had seniors moving in, you would need to make some changes. For example, by putting in a curbless shower, you can make the shower easier to use and more accessible for people of all ages. Walk-in bathtubs are also a great investment for your future bathroom remodeling project. As their name suggests, you simply walk into these bathtubs instead of having to step or climb over. Some walk-in baths also have comfortable seating areas so you don’t need to stand up. Finally, these tubs are also easier to clean than standard bathtubs due to their unique drainage features.

Renovate Your Main Floor. Bathrooms on the second floor can be a struggle for the elders of the family. To remedy this, you can consider remodeling your main floor and converting a room into a full bath. Legacy Design Build Remodeling can help with your bathroom remodel. We can provide everything you need, from efficient floor layouts to high-quality furniture, for a wonderful and efficient new bathroom.

Add a Wet Bar. Even without the addition to your family, your kitchen can benefit from the addition of a wet bar. It’s a great upgrade perfect for entertaining guests, hosting parties or complementing your meal. The wet bar itself doesn’t always need to be used as a bar space for parties. The added counter space can also hold a number of appliances or decorative items for increased practical and aesthetic value.

Taller Windows. If your existing windows need replacement, consider getting taller windows. They have larger glass areas, which means more sunlight. In the case of casement windows, taller windows also add more ventilation to your home, which is always a welcome bonus. As your expert remodelers, we also suggest tall and wider windows for your kitchen remodeling project, especially if you have a smaller kitchen. The visual effect of the tall glass makes your kitchen appear spacious and less stuffy.

Redo Your Kitchen. You would need a bigger, more efficient kitchen to accommodate the increase in the members of your household. One way to do this is by investing in a second kitchen sink. The added space can make it easier for you to do prep, cooking and cleaning. Talk to your home remodeling contractor for a kitchen layout that will improve your kitchen’s beauty and workflow efficiency.
