Professional Retirement Community Interior Designer

Retirement communities have changed dramatically over the years. While the retirement home you’re considering may be equipped to meet your medical needs, it doesn’t have to feel like a hospital. Nowadays, retirement communities have reinvented the way in which they are designed. Assisted living communities are now lively, stylish, and functional spaces that promote safe aging in place. Elements such as layout, color, texture, lighting, and more are crucial for creating a supportive environment that is both safe and friendly for seniors.

Julie McCarthy Designs has adopted the concept of universal design, an idea that marries decor with purpose. Design elements are chosen to serve the broadest range of people, regardless of their ability or mobility, age, or physical stature. This concept is ideal, particularly when it comes to designing retirement homes!

Our experts take into consideration the needs of a senior citizen, including: 

  • Downsizing. Downsizing means eliminating a lot of your belongings, but there are certainly some treasures that you cannot live without. Our designers know that residents want to customize the look and feel of their space, and that you’ll need some of your keepsakes to do so. Once you’ve figured out what is important to keep, we’ll find a unique way to incorporate these items into your new home design.  
  • Space planning. Creating a space that is safe for seniors to actively live in is a top priority for our designers. As we age, our ability to do certain things lessens. Our designers understand this, and so they take a flexible approach when it comes to designing a retirement space. We strive to design with functionality that is beautiful.
  • Personality. Our designers will work with you to create a space that you’ll love living in. Whether you prefer neutral shades from nature or vibrant pops of color, we’ll uncover all of the design elements you would like present in your retirement home.  

Change is difficult, particularly for senior citizens. With Julie McCarthy Designs it doesn’t have to be! Age in place instead of transforming a space into a nursing home.
