The past few years paved the way for homeowners to incorporate safety and wellness into their home remodeling plans. Nowadays, living spaces built with these aspects in mind are particularly attractive, and this home design trend should continue in this post-pandemic world.
DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Northwest Arkansas, a “home remodeler near me,” looks at some of the safety and wellness trends to include in your next home renovation project.
Flex Rooms
Flex rooms refer to living spaces that serve more than one function. For instance, the finished attic that you use to store seldom-used items and Christmas decorations can also double as a home gym in a snap. That extra bedroom you save for overnight guests can be used as a study room or home office. With flex rooms, you can easily adapt to your family’s changing needs when required.
Kitchen Safety
There’s more to smart technologies than voice-activated temperature control and lighting. You can increase kitchen safety with the help of a modern ventilation hood that works in tandem with a paired induction cooktop to extract gasses and smoke from the air. Some smart appliances can also alert you in case a burner’s left unattended, allowing you to turn it off remotely.
Smart faucets, meanwhile, eliminate the need to touch knobs or levers to open them. This means you can get water from the tap without having to worry about dispersing germs or food-borne pathogens.

Bathroom Safety
The bathroom can become a magnet for accidents, especially if you have elderly loved ones around. By incorporating features such as grab bars and slip-resistant flooring, anyone in the household no matter the age and ability can avoid leaning over and falling while using a shower or bathtub. Toilets that are mounted on the wall are a simple safety feature since they are easy to clean and lack crevices where germs can accumulate. How about a low-threshold shower or walk-in tub to make bathing much safer and simpler? With voice-control tub and shower functions, you can further advance this.
