Future Living: Designing Your Next Stage in Style, Part 2 of our series

Your Home’s Next Story Is Waiting To Be Written!

You’ve worked hard. You’ve built memories. Juggling busy schedules, and making do with spaces that didn’t always fit our lifestyle.

Retirement, and the years leading up to it, is the perfect time to take stock and consider Planning for the Next Stage of Life: it’s about finally living in a home that feels just right.

With fewer daily demands, now is the perfect moment to plan your space for comfort, ease, and the things you truly enjoy.

From smart layouts to future-proofed features or adding those little luxuries you’ve always dreamed about, your home should be designed to work for you and the life ahead – not the other way around.

At Build Right, we specialise in helping homeowners plan for the “Next Stage” of life.  Whether that’s retirement, downsizing certain spaces, or simply creating a home that supports your lifestyle, we’ll guide you through every step – from concept to completion.

Does My Home Truly Work For Me – Or Am I Working For It ?

Many people worry a bigger home will mean more upkeep.  The truth?   A well-designed home can be easier to maintain than an older, smaller one – giving you more time for the things you love.

For others preparing for retirement is about creating a space that’s easier to maintain, more efficient, and perfectly suited to a slower, more relaxed pace of life.

Style and Comfort

Picture a home with clean lines, natural light flooding every room, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Imagine technology working quietly in the background — automated lighting, climate control, and security systems — so you can focus on enjoying your day.

Your Next Stage of life deserves more than practicality — it deserves beauty, flow, and a touch of luxury. Today’s home design offers the perfect blend of style and functionality, making it possible to have both.

We’ve invited Ann-Marie Appleton from Frobishers to share with us her experience in helping homeowners transform their spaces into something smarter, easier, and infinitely more enjoyable.

Making Life Easier and Smarter – Time to Invest in Technology

Preparing for the next stage in life also involves considering which aspects of your home need replacing to ensure you have current appliances and systems that will last you for the years ahead and require less maintenance and energy than what you might currently have in place.

With the rapidly increasing price of power, home heating and hot water heating are two of the biggest considerations.

Research shows that Smart Home Technology can not only make  everyday life easier and safer but also  more enjoyable – especially for those preparing for retirement or wanting a future-ready home. 

We’ve invited Anthony Sapsford from GoFox Electrical to talk about future-proofing your home with energy-efficient systems, installing smart home technology and more.

Making it Happen

At Build Right, we help homeowners turn these ideas into reality. We start with conversations — understanding your lifestyle, your priorities, and your vision — and then design a plan that works from day one through to completion.

Our business is set up to work with home owners like yourselves where we take time to discuss with you the things that are important to you in your home; the things that don’t work now and changes that you might like to consider moving forward in planning for the next stage in your life.

For us, the next stage isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing what matters, better.
