BACK-TO-SCHOOL HOME REMODELING IN HINSDALE

SUMMER IS COMING TO AN END AND IT’S TIME TO SHIFT OUR FOCUS TO ANOTHER YEAR OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR CHILDREN. BUT IT’S ALSO A GREAT TIME TO CONSIDER GROWING AND DEVELOPING YOUR HOME WITH THE HELP OF PROFESSIONAL REMODELING CONTRACTORS.

WITH VIRTUAL AND HYBRID SCHOOLING BECOMING THE NEW NORMAL, THESE BACK-TO-SCHOOL HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS CAN HELP ENHANCE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF YOUR HOME.

A STUDY SPACE

YOUR KIDS NEED A DEDICATED AREA IN THE HOME THAT ALLOWS THEM TO FOCUS ON THEIR SCHOOLWORK. BY DESIGNING AND BUILDING A STUDY SPACE, YOU’RE CREATING AN AREA IN THE HOME FREE FROM DISTRACTIONS. THE IDEAL AREA WOULD INCLUDE A DESKTOP, AMPLE STORAGE FOR SUPPLIES, AND KID-FRIENDLY ERGONOMIC SEATING.

THIS HOME RENOVATION OR ADDITION PROJECT CAN BE AN IMPORTANT EXTRA SPACE IN YOUR HOME AIDING IN THE EDUCATION OF YOUR CHILDREN. WHETHER YOU’RE RENOVATING AN EXISTING HOME OFFICE OR DESIGNING AN ENTIRELY NEW SPACE, BE SURE TO REINFORCE THE DESIGN AND STYLE OF THE REST OF YOUR HOME SO IT DOESN’T SEEM OUT OF PLACE.

A BACKPACK & SHOE DROP-OFF STATION

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING KIDS DO WHEN THEY GET HOME FROM SCHOOL? THEY TAKE OFF THEIR SHOES AND BACKPACK AND FLING THEM ONTO THE GROUND. HELP REDUCE THE STRESS OF THE MISSING SHOE IN THE MORNING OR SCHOOL PAPERS NOT WHERE THEY NEED TO BE BY DESIGNING A CUSTOM STORAGE LOCATION IN YOUR HOME.

IF YOU’RE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A MUDROOM OR EXTRA SPACE IN YOUR FOYER, CREATING AN ORGANIZED STORAGE SPACE COULD BE EASY. INDIVIDUAL CUBBIES WITH HOOKS AND CABINETS CAN HELP KEEP EACH CHILD’S SCHOOL MATERIALS ORGANIZED AND READY TO GRAB AND GO.

BEDROOM REDESIGN

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT WHEN SCHOOLCHILDREN DO NOT GET ENOUGH SLEEP, THEY LACK FOCUS AND MOTIVATION. SLEEP IS A CRUCIAL EXERCISE IN A STUDENT’S ABILITY TO RETAIN THE INFORMATION THEY’RE LEARNING IN SCHOOL. BY CREATING A SPACE DESIGNED AROUND YOUR CHILD AND CONDUCIVE TO REST, YOUR CHILD WILL MAINTAIN A HEALTHY SLEEP SCHEDULE.

FROM A FRESH BATCH OF PAINT ON THE WALLS AND TRIM TO NEW LIGHTING FIXTURES TO MAXIMIZING STORAGE OPTIONS, THE DESIGN AND REMODEL OF THE ROOM DO NOT ALWAYS NEED TO BE EXTENSIVE. SMALL CHANGES CAN ELEVATE THE SPACE AND MAKE IT FEEL MORE LIKE THEIR OWN.

EMPTY NEST?

MAYBE THIS SCHOOL YEAR IS YOUR YOUNGEST CHILD’S LAST OR THEY’RE MOVING OUT OF STATE FOR COLLEGE. IF THAT IS THE CASE, YOU CAN TAKE ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT REMODEL PROJECTS. YOU CAN TURN A BEDROOM INTO A HOME OFFICE, YOGA STUDIO, CRAFTING ROOM, READING ROOM, OR GUEST BEDROOM.

BECOMING AN EMPTY NESTER CAN BE BITTERSWEET BUT THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS FOR CREATING A SPACE MORE INDICATIVE OF YOUR CURRENT LIFESTYLE.
