Do you hear that? No? It’s called silence. Yep, you and your spouse have waited for years to enjoy the quiet and the solitude that many empty-nesters look forward to after the kids leave.
Now is the perfect time to start thinking about upgrading your home’s flooring. Chances are pretty good that whatever you have now has seen better days thanks to all the wear and tear over the years of housing a larger family.
And there’s no doubt carpet is still among the top choices for those without kids because it’s easy to take care of, affordable, and it always looks great. It can be cleaned and maintained without much trouble and with today’s many patterns, colors and style options, it is a great choice for empty-nesters.
Carpet provides a safe, non-slip surface that may be beneficial as you age and need a little more stability underfoot. It also provides more cushion, which can not only feel better as you walk, but can protect you in the case of a fall. Even if this isn’t a concern now, it might be a factor in your decision-making process, especially if you’re hoping to get some years out of your new flooring install.
Sure, you miss your children when they go off to college or when they finally move out to start their own lives. But there’s no more noise coming from blaring televisions or radios and the phone lines are now open for when you need to make a call. The laundry loads have died down and you no longer need to make three square meals a day for an entire crew. Now is the perfect time to think about a home remodel that suits your new tastes and your new phrase of life.
