To get the most out of your home, it simply must evolve if it is to keep handling your family’s continually changing needs. For this reason, we consider flex space to be essential for every active home.
Flex space (shortened from flexible space)is a fairly new buzzword in Nashville home remodeling. Flex space is an area of your home, small or large, which can serve two or more different purposes, needs, and activities that take place in the home. (These days, it seems like nearly EVERY activity is in the home!) Flex space can be a small nook somewhere in your house, or a large room could be dedicated to flex space. In other words, flex space is exactly what it sounds like: Flex space consists of one or more areas in your house that can be used for whatever variable purpose(s) you want or need. The specifics of your flex space can (and should) evolve in tandem with your needs over time.
Now more than ever, we need areas in our homes that can accommodate the divergent needs of every member of the household. Consider the needs of the modern household in the COVID-19 era:
And, unfortunately, this is going to be the case going forward – even though we may be freed from our homes more as summer approaches and more people are vaccinated. (That time cannot arrive quickly enough.)

Flex space gives you more for the money, because the remodeled area(s) can serve multiple needs. This allows you to make the very most of the square footage available in your home. Here are a few examples of two-for-one possibilities for your flex space:
Typically attached to the garage, mud rooms are incredibly convenient for keeping the other pars of your home clean. It makes complete sense to pair a mud room with a laundry room; this will allow the homeowner to throw dirt-covered clothes straight into the washing machine. Your home will be cleaner and require less straightening and cleaning with your new laundry room + mud room. This flex space would probably include a large utility sink, adequate space for cleaning up a dirty dog or even bathing the dog, sufficient room for dropping off wet or dirty clothes, and leaving wet athletic/ sports equipment to dry.

With ample built-in cabinetry and other storage, a rec room or finished basement can pull double duty as a playroom during the day and a home theater in the evening after dinner. Cupboards, drawers, and shelving provide plenty of space for the kids’ toys to be put away, thus freeing up some room for watching your favorite movies and series, or even for family game night.
What starts out as the nursery won’t need to stay a nursery for very long! The nursery may be a good fit to be transformed into a playroom when the crib is no longer needed.
Did you know that most residential entrance doors can be kicked in without too much effort? If your home still has standard front and back doors, let us help you improve your security.
Whether you’re putting in a new mudroom, building a master suite, remodeling the attic, or renovating the entire house, there’s no better time to improve the security of your home. As a long-dedicated, deeply experienced Nashville remodeling contractor, we know the local building codes and the home security products and features that really work.
Now is the time! Let Broderick Builders help you protect your loved ones and your property by making affordable home security improvements along with any other remodeling. [ Contact form ]
Your home office or library can easily serve as a guest bedroom when you have friends or relatives in town. A day bed, Murphy bed, sofa bed or futon provides guest sleeping quarters, but folds away to conceal the room’s dual purpose when you have no one visiting.
If the current design and layout of your home lacks versatile, appropriate flexible space, you might think about adding a room. We regularly create and build room additions and all sorts of home additions for our Middle Tennessee clients.
