If you love your backyard but hate your home’s layout, love the nearby schools but hate your master bathroom, or if you like the numbers of bedrooms in your home but despise your kitchen cupboards, a renovation is what you need. Moving wouldn’t solve your problems because you’ll lose the things you like about your home. Luckily, there are expert architects who have dealt with similar projects before and they can help you remodel your so-so home into your dream home.

Improving a home’s accessibility

Architects Annie Schwemmer and Ann Robinson own a firm focused on “life-changing remodeling designs.” One common problem people have to adapt their homes to has to do with accessibility. Accessibility issues might come with age. Aging homeowners might need to do away with steps for comfort and ease of movement. Accessibility issues might also occur with accident or injury or illness when it becomes necessary for a family member to be confined to a wheelchair. The architects suggest moving all things necessary for day to day living to the main floor. That means bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room. Split level and split entry homes do not work well for those who need easier accessibility.

Making room for evolving families

Another common problem is as a family grows in number, it might need more bedrooms. It also comes with age as teenagers begin to want their own space. Sometimes grandparents move in to help take care of kids or because they need help getting around. Parents might want a home office or guest room. An option to consider besides building on to the side of the house is building a second story or a basement.

Curing “ugly house disorder”

Curb appeal doesn’t have much to do with comfort or ease of living, but it has a lot to do with aesthetics and ease of resale. It also has psychological effects—everyone wants a beautiful home they can be proud of. Schwemmer and Robinson said, “Home should be a refuge and bring joy and peace into your life. Addressing the ugly house disorder can turn a source of stress and anxiety into a relaxing retreat.”
