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.

DESIGNERS RETHINK THE SHED

It’s that time of year again, where the city is a buzz with talk of contemporary design, inspired furniture and industry trends. The annual Interior Design Show will be taking place next week from January 21-24^th at the Metro Convention Center in Toronto.

 This year Roomy Interiors has been invited to participate in a special IDS project.
