5 Empty-Nest Solutions for Homeowners
-5 Empty-Nest Solutions for Homeowners-
Many homeowners need empty-nest solutions this time of year. Perhaps your youngest is leaving for college, or you simply have unused space in your Tampa Bay home. For useful and cheerful living spaces, our real estate team has five solutions ranging from small changes in décor to luxurious upgrades and big moves for empty nesters.
-
Most simply, redecorate to create a welcoming guest room.
Of course, empty-nest solutions include ways to host houseguests or to welcome children home for visits. Consider a remodel to design a guestroom that is more versatile than a child’s old bedroom. Start by clearing out the clutter and storing mementos. Next, add exciting colors like bright shades of orange to create a happy feeling in the space. Coastal décor styles are also popular in Tampa Bay homes. A fresh coat of paint and a new duvet cover on the bed could be just what the space needs to feel like new.
-
Better yet, reap the personal benefits of being an empty nester.
Start putting your needs first. The best empty-nest solutions can be focused on your long-term wellbeing. Why not reap the benefits of an empty room? You now have space for creating your own yoga studio, weight-lifting area, or meditation space. If the room must include a bed or sleep accommodations, opt for a hideaway murphy bed or a daybed to save space.
-
Creatively, make better use of your free space and your free time.
Look at it this way – it can be a lot of fun to fill an empty space with a new purpose. Plan a perfect area for your work, play, or hobbies. Clear out clutter by storing, donating, or selling unneeded items. Whether your room plan includes video chatting, crafting, painting, or perhaps homebrewing beer – make it all your own. You can always incorporate a corner desk module, a futon, or folding shutters to divide the space for multi-use purposes.

If budget allows, be those empty nesters enjoying luxurious home upgrades.
As accomplished empty nesters, it is important to treat yourselves to home upgrades. With the kids out of the house, you might feel ready to invest in a more luxurious lifestyle, such as fancier home appliances with touchscreens, plush new furniture, an outdoor kitchen, a hot tub, or a new pool to increase enjoyment in life – while also increasing the value of your Florida home.
-
Finally, imagine the ultimate solution of moving to your dream home.
As far as empty-nest solutions, the best step is moving into your dream home. This time around, you do not have to search for homes in certain school districts, and you will not need an excess number of bedrooms and baths. Nope, this homebuying process will be focused on your dreams, interests, and goals for your retirement years.
Ultimately, it’s your turn to discover why empty nesters from across the U.S. are flocking to the Tampa Bay area for our dynamic communities, natural attractions, and lifestyle perks.
