Retirement is a time to relax, unwind, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. It’s also a time when many people choose to downsize their homes. As the baby boomer generation continues to retire, sunny Myrtle Beach and surrounding coastal communities have become popular destinations for retirees looking to downsize. While downsizing may seem like a daunting task, it can also be an amazing opportunity to finally design the home of your dreams! As an interior architect + designer, I have seen the benefits of downsizing first-hand, so let’s look at the top 3 reasons why you should consider building your downsized dream home in retirement.
1. Downsizing + Design Means Less Maintenance and More Convenience:
One of the biggest benefits of building a downsized dream home in retirement– far less maintenance! Smaller homes require less time and money to keep in working order, which means you can spend more time enjoying your retirement and less time worrying about repairs. In addition, installing environmentally friendly and energy-efficient features can significantly reduce the cost of maintaining your home in the long run. Moreover, as you age, creating accessibility and convenience in the home becomes crucial, which are both benefits of my Efficient Living Design service. I maximize every aspect of your new home design to make your life more convenient, safe, and comfortable during your retirement years.
2. Personalization and Design:
Building a custom downsized dream home provides the opportunity to personalize every detail to your liking. With an experienced interior designer on your side, you can enjoy a space that meets all your wants and needs. A custom home design in retirement means you don’t have to compromise. We can work together to help plan the layout and choose design elements that reflect your personal style, hobbies, and needs. For example, if you love to cook, you can have the dream kitchen that meets all of your culinary desires and is inviting for entertaining friends and family. If you’re an avid gardener, we can create a space for a small vegetable garden. The possibilities are endless!
3. Location, Location, Location:
Finally, downsizing and building a new home in retirement means you can choose a location that best suits your lifestyle. Whether that’s closer to the beach, near friends and family, or in a quieter part of town, you’ll be able to enjoy the perks of a new location while transitioning to a more comfortable and smaller space. As a virtual designer, I can help you optimize the layout and add features that complement your location of choice, as I work with clients locally in the Myrtle Beach area as well as across the US.
Downsizing + design offers an excellent opportunity to optimize your living space and lifestyle. With less maintenance, more personalization, and the ability to choose your location, you can create a space that perfectly fits your needs. As an experienced designer and spacial planner, I can help you execute your vision while considering the safety, accessibility, and comfort of your home in retirement.
