When the kids leave the house for college, adventures, or jobs, you may consider starting a home remodeling project to make use of all the space you’ve regained. With so many potential options, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Here are some possibilities to consider when creating your dream home.

How to Update Your House

1. Create a Master Suite

Knock down the wall between your current bedroom and your kid’s old room to create a large suite. Make a walk-in closet and bathroom featuring a Jacuzzi® tub where you can relax. This will make your bedroom feel like a true living space you can enjoy daily.

2. Turn a Bedroom Into a Gym

Now that you don’t need as many bedrooms, why not turn one into a home gym? Install gym mats along with favorite machines like a treadmill and elliptical. Add a bench, some free weights, and a yoga mat for well-rounded workouts at home.

3. Make a Home Theater

The kids will want to come back home to visit when they see you’ve made a theater as a home remodeling project! Install darkening blinds and stage-like stairs that are large enough to fit comfy couches or recliners. Line the walls with custom storage for all your movies, and put in large curtain rods to host velvet curtains to set the stage for your favorite films.

4. Install an Office

Have you worked from the kitchen table or living room couch for years? Now you can create a home office that allows you to work in peace. Add a window or two to create plenty of natural light to improve focus before swapping out the flooring and paint. Then, install storage for files and tech gear as well as task and ambient lighting. Bring in a desk, chair, and comfy seating, and you’re set to get to work.
