Building A Home That Will Grow With Your Family

When it comes to building a home, you will want to think about the future and plan around your growing family or changing circumstances. Building a home that will grow with your family requires you to have the future in mind and helping it to be adaptable is important if you plan to live in this home for a long time. Cole Val Construction can help you create a lovely custom home with elements that help you function from day to day. There are elements you should consider when building a home so that it can grow with your family. 

1- Include Extra Rooms

The best way to make sure your home can grow with your family is to ensure you have enough space. If you plan on expanding your family, building an extra room or two will ensure that children have their own space, or you can have a designated play space. Even just adding one room can act as a child’s bedroom and convert it into a guest room later. 

2- Consider Your Location

If you have children you have probably researched the area for schools and other extracurricular activities. Location is important for these activities, but it is also important to accommodate hobbies or jobs. If you build a home and then can not find a stable income, you may find yourself moving too soon. Jobs for teens, close proximity to parks and trails, as well as other hobbies that are important to your family will be key factors in knowing where to build your home. If you want something to grow with your family, it needs to satisfy the needs of everyone. 

3- Include Multiple Storage Solutions

The biggest item that people want more of in their homes is adequate storage. When building a new home, including extra storage will help you to adapt to children as they get older or if you collect more emergency supplies. Creating unique storage underneath beds, extra linen closets, or drawers in a mud room can help you keep a tidy home. 

To plan for the future, it is important to think about storing seasonal items, items for hobbies, and food storage or emergency supplies. Cole Val can help customize your storage in your home so that it will grow with your family. 

4- Don’t Neglect The Garage

Having a large garage can help with storage or fitting more cars in the future as you grow with your family. The garage can be a great place to participate in hobbies or turn it into a shop. If you plan ahead to make your garage multipurpose, it will help save you money in the future. 

5- Increase The Number Of Outlets

With more mobile devices than ever before, adding extra outlets can make sure that all your family members can charge their devices. Outlets can also make using appliances in your kitchen, decorating, and cleaning easier. Having multiple outlets per room can make moving around the room to vacuum or sitting to charge your phone, much more enjoyable. 

6- Invest In Quality Furniture

Quality furniture will last you for many years which can save you money from buying new furniture every year as well as paying for other family expenses. Quality beds, couches, dining tables, and chairs can all be used through different stages of your family and be used by multiple people in the family.
