HomeBlogTogether Under One Roof: Home Additions for Multigenerational Living

Multigenerational living has become increasingly popular across the country, whether it’s seniors aging in place with their children or young adults returning home after college. With the rise of multigenerational living, people have become interested in home additions that ensure that everyone has their own private space within the shared home.

Together Under One Roof: Home Additions for Multigenerational Living

If you feel the need for a bit more room in your house, we want to share some tips on how to design home additions that meet the needs of the entire family.

  • Prioritize Privacy – Multigenerational living fosters closeness and tighter familial bonds, but it’s important to provide everyone with autonomy and privacy. Some of the most common home additions include extra bedrooms and bathrooms that provide everyone with a space to retreat to when needed.
  • Enhance Accessibility – If your home addition plans include accommodating aging parents or family members with mobility limitations, accessibility should be at the forefront of the designs. This may include installing ramps, wide doorframes, zero-step entrances, and grab bars.
  • Shared Spaces – Although everyone needs privacy, home additions like larger living and dining areas can create beautiful areas where all family members can enjoy time together.
  • Focused Flexibility – Multigenerational households often experience changing dynamics, so designing your home additions with flexible use in mind is always a good idea. Home offices that convert into additional bedrooms or entire in-law suites that offer independence without complete separation allow you to meet your family’s changing needs with ease.
