Designing A Remodel For The Needs Of Your Family
Every family is different and needs a different kind of removel
In this age of glossy home magazine spreads and Pinterest, it’s easy to fall in love with somebody else’s home interior. We have access to so many gorgeous remodeled kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and more, that when it comes time for our home remodel we may forget one extremely important lesson.
Your room or whole home remodel should fit the needs of your family.
Every family is different in how they live and operate within their home. These differences should be embraced by your remodeling contractor so that your home remodel will help your family live better.
Jim and Susan are the ultimate power couple. They work hard during the day and love to come home and relax at night. They don’t have a lot of time to cook, but Susan does love to have friends over on the weekend for wine and “girl time”. Jim wishes he could spend more time at home, rather than in the office.
Do Jim and Susan really need to remodel their kitchen? Maybe, but perhaps a better idea would be to add a home office for Jim so he can work from home more often. Another option is to build an outdoor patio so Susan and her friends can enjoy sitting outside during the warm San Diego nights.
Kyle and Barbara have different needs than Jim and Susan. Barbara is a stay-at-home mother and spends a lot of her time taking care of the couple’s three children. Their kitchen is small and cramped, and Barbara wishes she had more space to cook, and maybe a duel sink.
Kyle and Barbara are prime candidates for a kitchen remodel. Barbara spends a lot of time in the kitchen cooking for her family, so any improvements in the kitchen will have a big positive impact on her life. A more spacious kitchen could also make it easier for her family to operate so that the kids and adults won’t trip over each other when they are each grabbing breakfast in the morning.
Even the same type of remodel and the same budget can yield vastly different results depending on what factors are the most important to a family. Even if Jim and Susan do decide on a kitchen remodel, they may want to focus on adding granite countertops, oak cabinets, and the latest and greatest appliances. Barbara and Kyle, on the other hand, may simply want to add a duel sink, more cabinets for extra storage, and a central island so Barbara has more space to cook.
Don’t let a magazine or a pretty Pinterest picture define what you think the perfect kitchen, bath, or master bedroom should look like. Your remodel should be all about you!
