Office Renovations:
A well-designed home office is a staple in modern society. By including ergonomic furniture, efficient storage solutions and a layout optimized for work tasks, the reduction of distractions and improved focus can greatly enhance productivity. Comfort is also essential for those long hours of work. Renovations to lighting, heating, ventilation and soundproofing can create a more pleasing environment. A renovated home office adds to a more professional image during virtual meetings and video calls as well. Resale values are another consideration worth mentioning. Creating or improving a home office can increase the overall value of the property. As remote work becomes more and more commonplace, potential buyers may prioritize a functional and attractive home office space. This adaptation to changing needs makes for a valuable investment in the long term.
When planning a home office renovation, be aware that your specific needs, budget and long-term goals should be considered, to create a workspace that supports your professional endeavors effectively. Let Retrofit Design be your guide through your renovation project. Call (317) 426-9948 today to bring your project to life.
Kitchen Renovations:
Retrofit Design can help you with plans for a kitchen full of custom cabinets, new appliances and luxurious stone counters. Your kitchen renovation may include a myriad of goals. Functionality of the space is a priority of many homeowners; reconfiguring the location of appliances, drawers and cabinets for better "flow" in the room while cooking. Aesthetics are another high priority for many renovations. An appealing kitchen is more than a goal, but nearly a necessity for anyone who spends all day cooking in their kitchen. And being that so many hours are spent together in the kitchen over the course of the year, potential buyers often prioritize an updated and attractive kitchen, making it a wise investment for homeowners who may sell their home in the future. Energy efficiency may be another goal of a kitchen remodel. Older kitchens with outdated appliances and fixtures are typically less energy-efficient costing homeowners in expensive energy bills. Replacing these can lead to a long-term cost savings on utility bills and reduce the home's environmental footprint. In addition to these goals, kitchen renovations can also enhance the overall comfort and enjoyment of your home, making a most pleasant space for cooking, entertaining and spending time with family and friends. If you're considering a kitchen renovation, call Retrofit Design at (317) 426-9948 and let's help you bring your dreams to reality.
Bathroom Renovations:
Bathroom renovations are some of the most common projects homeowners take on. Usually aesthetics are a key priority in bathroom renovations, where an updated look and feel of the space is desired. This often includes a new vanity, flooring, plumbing fixtures, tub and shower surfaces, mirrors, lighting and accessories. Redesigning the bathroom layout will also improve the flow and use of the space, add storage and convenience, and enhance privacy when needed. For aging in place and mobility considerations, bathroom renovations can incorporate safety features such as grab bars, non-slip flooring, accessible showers or tubs, and adjustable accessories which increase safety and enhance the usability of the room. Many homeowners are even opting to turn their bathroom into a spa-like retreat experience with steam showers and other creature comforts. Just be sure to consider your budget as this can be one of the more expensive rooms to renovate in your home.

Energy Efficient Renovations:
Energy efficient renovations are aimed at reducing a home's energy consumption to realize monthly cost savings, as well as increase comfort and reduce environmental impact. Typically homeowners look at changing a number of things in a renovation of this type. The first goal we typically encourage is to properly seal any gaps, cracks and air leaks in the building envelope. This will stop drafts, reduce dust and allergen infiltration and prevent conditioned air from leaking outside. Improving insulation values, primarily in the attic, but also walls, floors and even doors and windows, reduces heating and cooling requirements. Upgraded glazing in doors and windows also reduces the amount of heat loss or gain and should be tailored to both local climate and orientation. Heating and Cooling systems are often replaced with energy-efficient heat pumps, while smart thermostats can optimize timing and system performance. LED lighting can reduce utility bills as well as enhance the color clarity and the feeling of any room, when chosen correctly. Energy Star appliances are also a great way to round out your renovation. Water management via low-flow plumbing fixtures puts less strain on your plumbing systems, as well as the infrastructure we all depend on. And we surely can't leave out solar panels. Solar is definitely not the first thing one should do, but if you're completing a renovation that accomplishes the aforementioned energy efficient goals, then a photovoltaic panel system can provide a great benefit and security when the power goes out on the grid.
Full Home Renovations:
A common thread among almost all renovations is the desire to personalize your living space. Homeowners love to incorporate design elements they've acquired over the years, but sometimes not everything has a home. A full home renovation can provide you a place for all the memories and mementos you've collected. Another whole home renovation goal is enhanced comfort. Improved heating, cooling, ventilation and soundproofing can make any home more comfortable, reducing drafts, temperature fluctuations and noise transfer throughout the house. Other full home renovation goals are typically updating outdated designs, increasing resale value, spatial reconfiguration, energy efficiency, code compliance, increased safety, aging in place, addressing repairs, and reconfiguring spaces to provide for additional rooms.
