"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

Dated bedrooms usually share a few similarities— popcorn ceilings, tired-looking carpet, a lack of natural light, and drab paint colors. If there is any exposed wood, like a built-in closet, those will need to be refinished or painted over. Most bedrooms can be modernized with new hardwood flooring, bright but neutral paint, increased window size, and recessed lighting.

In-law suite floor plans almost always include at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a combination kitchen/living room area or separate spaces for the kitchen and living room. Larger in-law suites built in accessory dwelling units separate from your main structure can feature multiple bedrooms, dining rooms, and entertainment rooms in addition to the necessities.

You don’t have to commit to a complete home renovation to age in place comfortably—those can get pricey. Instead, focus on a few impactful changes. Consider adding a stair lift or installing ramps to eliminate barriers. Upgrading to non-slip flooring can prevent falls while adding brighter lighting can improve visibility throughout your home. These thoughtful updates can make your home much easier to navigate and enhance your comfort and safety without the stress and cost of a complete overhaul.

Designing a laundry room layout is usually done by building the room around the water access. The washing machine will usually have a water hookup and drain in one specific area and there will usually be another water source in the form of a sink. Many laundry rooms are laid out so cabinets, closets, and tables are built around those two areas. Don’t overlook the space-savings of shelves and cabinets placed above the machines or sink as well.

An in-law suite is a private living area on or attached to a single-family home that acts as separate living quarters for family members. It is named for its common use of providing a private space for in-laws or other relatives to stay. Unlike a standard guest bedroom, a suite typically includes a sleeping area, a full bathroom, a small kitchen or kitchenette, and a living area. Larger suites may also have space for an office or laundry room, which can add utility and increase independence for guests and residents.
