A safe and comfortable interior for a happy and fulfilling life

The key to midlife remodeling is to reconfigure the space to fit your current lifestyle.
As your children become independent, take care of their parents, or spend more time with their spouse, you'll need to redesign your floor plan and functionality to fit your current lifestyle.
As we spend more time at home, noise, lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling become more important than ever.
Housework also becomes more enjoyable in a home with efficient movement and organized storage.
The author emphasizes that only in a well-organized home can you do what you want to do with peace of mind, and that a satisfied home also gives you confidence.
Design your space so you can enjoy the things you cherish: your favorite art, mementos, beautiful furniture, plants, and more.
It helps me a lot to have a peaceful mind every day.

Includes real-life examples of senior remodeling.

《Interior for Me》 contains remodeling cases in which the author participated.
Among the tedious household chores, laundry and cleaning are also impressive examples of how to make them more efficient, and how to change the floor plan so that the family can work together in the kitchen.
It is also worth noting that cases have been created in which the structure and route of stairs have been changed, or where attention has been paid to lighting and ventilation.
Storage design ideas to help you escape the 'disorganized home' are also included.
Also noteworthy is the design of the space division method that allows couples to live while reducing stress, and the bedroom design that maintains an appropriate distance by dividing it with sliding doors.
I advise couples to think about a floor plan that allows them to create their own space, even if it's small, and to keep a wise distance between themselves.

An interior that values ​​your tastes and hobbies and takes retirement into consideration.

The advantage of senior interior design is that they know their own tastes well.
Whether it's transforming your child's empty room into a hobby space or decorating the living room into your own personal lounge, creating a "space for yourself" is the essence of true remodeling.
Plan a home where you can spend each day meaningfully, with a large bookshelf for comfortable reading, shelves to display your favorite dishes, and a space to grow plants.
This book also encourages design that looks 10 or 20 years ahead.
Designs that take aging and care into account are also essential.
By preparing now, including wide staircases and hallways, eliminating steps, providing seating space at the sink, and designing the bathroom to prevent falls, you can live a safe and comfortable life for a long time.

Remodeling for single-person households and Q&A

Everyone will become a single-person household at some point.
This book proposes a structure and route design that allows you to live safely and comfortably alone.
If it's a small house, it's a one-room style, and if it's a large house, it's a way to organize the space around the bedroom.
We also provide tips for living happily with your pet.
At the end of the book, there is a Q&A for senior remodeling, providing the information you need to plan your actual interior.

The author recommends envisioning your life 10 to 20 years in the future in detail and having ample conversations about topics such as how you spend your day, your relationship with your spouse, your relationship with your children, and your parents' plans for retirement.
Because that conversation is the beginning of creating a beautiful and livable home.
Create a comfortable and beautiful home for yourself now and in the future.
