Is Sheltering In Place Inspiring Your Next Home Remodel?

But, what if your home isn’t all it’s chalked up to be? If you’re like many homeowners, sheltering in place has opened your eyes to what’s wrong with your home, not what’s right about it. And, perhaps it’s left you planning what home improvement or remodeling project you’re going to do next.

Sheltering in place inspires home upgrades

You might say that sheltering in place is a little like spending several weeks with your in-laws. What you might normally overlook or not think twice about becomes glaringly obvious the more time you spend together.

Here are the most common home-related problems that homeowners noticed while spending time at home during the pandemic:

1. Inadequate home office space – Many of us have never worked from home before the Covid-19 crisis. Or, we’ve never telecommuted for extended time periods. The pandemic has opened our eyes to the need for a designated home office that offers both function and style.
2. Not enough storage – When everyone’s home at once, there just isn’t enough room for everyone’s things!
3. Kitchen downfalls – With restaurants closed or only available for take-out, sheltering in place left many homeowners spending more time than ever cooking at home.
4. Not enough outdoor space – When everyone’s cooped up inside, it’s only natural to want a functional, relaxing space to turn to
