While becoming an empty nester may feel like a difficult transition at first, this is also your opportunity to make your home completely yours once again. This is why it’s the perfect time for a remodeling project that suits your new lifestyle. Make the most of your newly spacious home with the design ideas below.

Remodeling Ideas for Empty Nesters

1. Hobby Room

Now that your kids are out of the house, you’ll have extra time to devote to hobbies. Create a space that’s just for you and your pursuits. This could be an art room with plenty of natural light, a man cave in the finished basement with a full bar and television, a home gym, or a game room for hosting parties.

2. Guest Suite

Having a place for guests to stay will encourage your friends, children, and grandchildren to visit. A guest suite (rather than a standard guest bedroom) provides your visitors with some extra comfort and privacy. Enhance their visits by including a full bathroom, a sitting area with a fireplace, a king-size bed, and their own television. If you have the space, you could expand on this to create a full in-law suite with a kitchenette.

3. Single-Level Living

Single-level living lets you age comfortably in place. This means having all of your main living spaces on the first floor: master suite, kitchen, entertaining spaces, and laundry room. Make these spaces more senior-friendly by widening doorways, installing a walk-in zero-threshold shower, and choosing lever-style doorknobs.
