As the baby-boomer generation grows older, many empty nesters are faced with the same dilemma: when kids move out into their own homes, a 3000 square foot home nestled in a quite suburban neighborhood just doesn’t have the same appeal it used to.  Maintaining a larger home can become a burden, just like having to get in the car just to buy a quart of milk. For empty nesters, moving into the city brings many benefits; restaurants, movie theatres, diverse entertainment, faster commutes and dozens of other amenities within walking distance.  In the past few years, the trend of downsizing has been gaining strength. Many couples are making the move to condos between 700-1200 square feet, the perfect size for two people, and much easier to maintain.

 However, even with all the perks of moving to a smaller space, and the convenience of living in the city, many find themselves struggling with thoughts of how to design their new home. Downsizing can be a challenge; many couples are faced with questions like, what to do with all of our existing furniture? How can we accommodate visits from children and grand children in a smaller space? How can we reflect an updated interior style in our new home?
