Create Your Dream Home!

Love your house, your neighborhood, and your location, but your home just doesn’t meet your needs and wants for your lifestyle? You could buy or build a new house. Or you choose to stay and make changes that will suit your needs. Here are a few simple tips to help you create your dream home.

What if you could create your dream home, while staying in the location that holds your family’s memories? Many are making renovation decisions now, while keeping possible future limitations in mind. Ageless design is not just for seniors; it is thoughtful and wise to consider the future for yourself, and, if desired, for resale.

Kitchens and baths are the most common areas to be remodeled, so let us examine some simple design ideas to consider that could impact your ability to stay in your home.

Create Your Dream Bathroom

In the bathroom, switch to a kitchen-height vanity cabinet, quartz countertops, and a comfort-height toilet. Create a barrier-free, walk-in shower, update the lighting and you have a brand new dream bathroom.

Create Your Dream Kitchen

The outdated design idea of a kitchen work triangle is a lot less efficient that a linear prep and cooking space of an open kitchen design concept. A large sink keeps the work contained and accomplishes prep, cooking, and serving in a single location. Designing the cooking surface nearby and linear to the sink, adds to this efficiency and keeps the turning and moving to a minimum. Also, fewer slips and spills should be expected.

Also consider a pantry cabinet with pull-out shelves and pull-out drawers instead of doors to provide for easy storage and functionality. The full access and single motion nature of drawers is the best option for easy accessibility providing flexibility in storage.

Minimize bending and overhead reaching by keeping the microwave at or just below counter height. Microwave drawers are a good option for this very reason. Choose appliances that have easy-to-read controls. Soften counter corners to minimize bumps and bruises. Be sure your flooring choice will not be too slick when wet.

Standard kitchen clearances are generally 42 inches. If you have the space, widen your clearances. True universal design requires much more than that, but anything extra, even an inch or two, is an improvement.
