Future-Proofing Your Home with Style: Clever Ideas for Growing with Your Space

As we move through different stages of life, our homes should evolve with us, reflecting our changing needs and tastes. Future-proofing your home with style ensures it remains functional, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing for years to come. There is a growing requirement from our clients to make the space work for them now, and going forward. Current projects include lift installation, to ensure our client can access the upper floors in years to come. We have chosen clever space saving ideas such as console tables that extend into dining tables, maximising the space within the living area.

Here are some other

clever ideas to help you grow with your home in a stylish way, including the use of extendable tables.

 Flexible Living Spaces

  • Open Floor Plans: Create open spaces that can be easily adapted for different uses. This flexibility allows you to reconfigure rooms as your needs change.
  • Multi-Functional Rooms: Design rooms that serve multiple purposes, such as a guest room that doubles as a home office or a playroom that can be converted into a study.

. Smart Storage Solutions

  • Built-In Storage: UtiliSe built-in shelves and cabinets to maximise space and keep your home organised.
  • Pull-Out Shelves and Drawers: These make it easier to access items stored in lower cabinets without bending or reaching.
  • Under-Stair Storage: Make use of the space under your stairs for additional storage or even a small workspace.
  • Wide Doorways and Hallways: Aim for doorways that are at least 36 inches wide to allow easy passage.
  • Lever-Style Handles: Replace traditional doorknobs with lever handles for easier use.

 Extendable Tables

Extendable tables are a stylish and practical addition to any home. They offer flexibility and can adapt to your changing needs:

  • Living Room: Consider a coffee table that can be extended to serve as a dining table or workspace. This is especially useful in smaller homes or apartments.
  • Outdoor Spaces: Extendable tables are also great for patios or gardens, allowing you to host outdoor dinners or parties with ease..
  • Low-Maintenance Landscaping: Opt for plants and materials that require minimal upkeep.
“We couldn’t wait to turn one of our spare rooms into a pretty, designated space for our grandchildren .. it also has an ensuite bathroom which makes bath time much easier and the kids love that they have a special room in our house! We love spending time with them and this is one way to ensure they are as comfortable as possible during their stay with us surrounded by their books and toys ..”Mrs L
