Why You Should Consider a Master Suite Addition

November 16, 2022

With a portion of the population retiring and getting older, many aren’t as mobile as they used to be. As a result, many of the elderly choose to reside in their original homes rather than move to assisted living facilities. This often creates multigenerational families living under one roof, allowing homeowners to invest in several renovations to accommodate different generational needs. And while it may vary for each household, a master suite is one of the most common home additions on their checklist.

Paint colors are one of the simplest yet most crucial elements to consider when remodeling your bathroom. After all, they help set the overall theme of the space and can evoke the right mood whenever you use it. Picking the right choice requires careful consideration so that you won’t regret it after the project’s completion. Of course, you don’t have to settle on safe colors if they won’t enhance the design of the space. Some colors like white may even be too plain and make the room feel bland and generic!

As an interior designer I have had such a good experience working with Cottage Industries, Inc. Having worked with many contractors I know how crucial and how rare it is to find one in which every professional communicates well and in which projects are finished on time and
