Multi-Generational Living: Designing Homes for Every Stage of Life
Create a welcoming and functional space for every member of the family under one roof.
As a mom and former real-estate pro, I’ve seen how smart design makes multi-generational living feel easy and warm. Focus on universal design and aging-in-place features like ramps, grab bars, wider doorways, non-slip flooring, good lighting, and accessible bathrooms to keep kids, parents, and grandparents safe. Mix private suites and shared spaces — a flexible kitchen, quiet zones, storage and organization, noise control, and even separate entrances — so everyone has space and connection. With thoughtful zoning, mobility-friendly layouts, caregiving-ready features, and simple safety upgrades, one home can support every stage of life.
