Introduction

• Home is a place where you find peace.
• Both from inside and outside you feel a deep
  serenity when you step into your house.
• After a hard day at work or a tiring journey, you
  feel anxious to reach your home as soon as you
  can.
• Therefore, the place should bear a comforting
  atmosphere.
• You should be able to disclose all your worries,
  disappointments as well as happiness and pride
  here.

  our home is related to its design and decor.

• Therefore, it is important for you to decide
  whether you would prefer living in a place that
  would grow and age with you,
• or some place which you could abandon after you
  are done with it at a certain period of time, due
  to a shift in your workplace or for some other
  reason.
• If your home is designed to suit your daily
  needs, then you can just renovate it and make
  certain changes to stay there forever.
• On the other hand, building a new home after a
  certain period of time makes you undertake less
  stress, and also you have to invest in less time
  and money.

  in shower places

  wisely, as these changes are both time consuming
  as well as expensive.

than the ones that are made using trendy fashion

Aging in place homes are customizable, rather
than the ones that are made using trendy fashion

• For instance, you can add bars for support on the
  walls of every room and the corridors too, in
  order to ensure safety while walking or moving.
• However, this needs a bit of future planning.
• If you wish to install such bars later in future,
  you have to make sure that you need it.
• Ask your builder to make provisions accordingly,
  so that if you wish to do so in the future, you
  can straight away get it done.
• If you want to install the bars or make certain
  changes in the house later without such
  provisions made in advance, you could land up in
  serious expense issues.

Multi-generational rooms

• Another amazing feature of the aging in place
  houses is you can create additional rooms, which
  you can later on develop into new rooms with.
• E.g if you build an additional room with an
  attached bathroom on the first floor, you can
  make a partition between the two rooms later in
  the future and use them as two separate bedrooms.

home design
