What makes a perfect Ageless Design customer?
28 November 2011

Last week I met another perfect Ageless Design™ customer. Now, what makes a perfect Ageless Design™ customer I hear you ask? The answer is simple – someone smart enough to be forward thinking and willing to accept that they are getting older.

This particular lady - together with her husband - has lived in their stylish Edinburgh home for many, many years and have no intention of leaving. They are in their late 60’s and are both currently fit and well – so what better time to seek the right advice on what modifications might be suitable for their home so that they can live there for as long as possible.

Our clients had heard of a number of options but it was all pretty confusing and they wanted expert advice on which ones would be best for them. They were also in need of a new bathroom but they wanted to take their time and be sure they were getting the right one for their future needs as well as the here and now.

So often, we meet people who prefer to bury their heads in the sand. They refuse to acknowledge their changing needs as they are growing older and are then forced into making rushed decisions on home alterations as a result of a sudden change in circumstances. We often see a poor wife or husband having to deal with the stress of making urgent changes to their home at the same time as coming to terms with a partner’s deteriorating health. What’s more, they end up throwing their precious retirement funds on an inevitable adaptation which they could have enjoyed for many years previously had they thought about it in advance. Not to mention that the adaptation in question may well have helped to prevent an accident that might then trigger a subsequent deterioration in health.

The beauty of Ageless Design™ is that it delivers all the style we would want in our homes at any age, while incorporating all the clever little design features that make your home ageless to you. It means getting home refurbishments right, first time and for the future, without compromising on style. A bathroom or a kitchen with brains as well as beauty – now that’s bang for your retirement buck!
