Search results for "Downsizing" in Home Design Ideas

Our clients wanted to downsize to a 2500 – 2800 square foot home. With grown children and one of them already retired, they wanted to design their final, forever home. Low maintenance exterior finishes with timeless detailing was important. They also wanted lots of windows to maximize the natural light and take advantage of their bird’s eye lake view. Another important design feature was sound dampening around all bathrooms, bedrooms, and floor systems to keep with the tranquil environment they were trying to create. They wanted open concept living with a master suite on the main floor and guest bedrooms for family visitors upstairs. The ample patio and yard space are also ideal for family gatherings and enjoying all that beautiful Northern Michigan has to offer.

Long time clients who are "empty nesters" downsized from a larger house to this new condominium, designed to showcase their small yet impressive collection of modern art.

For this project, I helped my client downsize from a larger home to a smaller attached home. I determined which furnishings could be reused - where and how; what should be eliminated; and what needed to be newly purchased. In this space the sectional, accent pillows, and floral art are new, everything else is from the client's former home. I helped her determine the correct size and fabric to be used for the sectional. Jennifer Comfort, thecolorpsychic, was consulted to select the paint colors.

This suburban condominium on Philadelphia’s Main Line was designed for empty nesters who had collected beautiful custom furniture over the years.

The clients’ style was contemporary and eclectic and new furnishings and elements were added as needed to fill in the space and complement their existing collection.
