Is Your Home Ready for Multigenerational Living?

Multigenerational living is on the rise and shows no signs of slowing down.   A multigenerational household is defined as more than two generations living under the same roof.  That sounds like it could get a bit crowded, doesn’t it? Most of our homes were not built to provide comfortable living for this size or type of family so many homeowners are choosing to remodel to accommodate their specific needs.

If you are currently in a multigenerational living situation or see it as an option in your future, there are several remodeling projects that can improve you home’s comfort and livability.

Here are today’s most popular multigenerational remodeling trends.

1. First floor master suites.  To accommodate those with lower mobility, adding a master suite to the first level is a great idea.  This allows easy access to the kitchen and living areas without having to climb any stairs.  A first floor master suite remodel is usually done by building an addition or reworking existing space in the home.
2. Basement remodels.  Your basement can provide a blank canvas for creating the exact type of additional living space you will need for your multigenerational family.   From completely independent living and sleeping areas with private entrances to large family rooms and craft areas, a basement remodel will provide much needed additional square footage.
