If you’re expecting a new member of your family or having a senior parent move in, you’ll want to make a few adjustments around your home. There are a variety of functional and exciting home remodeling projects to explore. These projects ensure you won’t have to move into a new home and that everyone will enjoy personal and communal areas.

Home Remodeling Ideas for Growing Families

1. Home Additions

If you truly want to increase square footage, a home addition is your best option. If you’re moving your man-cave to make room for a nursery, consider a bump out in your living room to make space. You can also add a full addition to create a new bedroom or add a second floor to a connected garage. Home additions will boost value over time, ensuring the project pays off in a number of ways.

2. In-Law Apartment

If aging parents are moving in, turn unused space into a private apartment so they feel at home. Finishing a basement or converting an attached garage are ideal. You can outfit them with a standard kitchen and bathroom, living space, and bedroom so they have plenty of privacy and won’t feel like they’re intruding. Go ahead and prepare for mobility challenges that may come by adding grab bars and safety features during the remodel.

3. Open Up the Floorplan

Making room for a new bedroom can turn your family room and living area into cramped quarters. Bypass the issue by knocking down some walls. Open-concept floorplans are extremely popular and will give everything room to breathe. It’s a great time to invest in new furniture, paint, and try out a new interior design approach so you have a fun, attractive space the family can enjoy together.
