If you dream of luxury Accessory dwelling ideas and want to maximize the return on your investment, you have come to the right place!
According to studies, ADU contributed 25% to 34% of each property’s estimated value (depending on the formula used). Adding an ADU to a single-unit property may add 51% to longer-term metrics of value or return.
After deciding to create an ADU, many homeowners wonder how to design it to enhance both the quality of their lives and the value of their homes.
The solution is to design your ADU as practical, practical, and aesthetically pleasing as possible. Here we have rounded some of our preferred ADU design concepts. Let’s have a look!
Cozy Suite
Single-story ADUs offer an excellent chance for aging in place. Many people adore the convenience of living in an ADU while their family is housed in the main house just a few feet away. The family can stay together while allowing everyone the solitude and freedom they require in a pleasant, cozy ADU with universal design principles.
It is simple to incorporate features into a new area that will accommodate the occupant’s present and future needs, such as
- Ample lighting and two-way switches that are easily accessible
- Rubber, cork, or other soft materials with non-slip properties
- A hand-held shower and additional grab bars in the walk-in shower Windows that are simple to open and close
- Controllable technology with a smartphone
- using door levers rather than doorknobs
Backyard Guest House
ADUs can either be attached to your primary residence or stand alone as distinct buildings. Your yard’s separate ADU offers some privacy at a practical distance. In most Oregon and Washington neighborhoods, a contemporary backyard cottage with a woodsy, rustic atmosphere will fit in wonderfully.
Select raw materials, exposed wood, and colors influenced by nature, such as green and brown, to maintain the style.
ADU With lights
Although ADUs are frequently smaller than the primary dwelling, they can still be dark and claustrophobic. ADUs, on the other hand, can be fashionable, airy, modern, and equipped with all the contemporary conveniences a person might need.
As much natural light as you can let in is ideal, but overhead, task and accent lighting should also be installed in abundance. For a seamless indoor-outdoor experience, take into account a complete wall door. Pick open flooring and light, neutral hues. The dos and don’ts of building an ADU are explained here.
ADU Garage Designs
If you want an ADU, do you need a big yard? In no way! You can convert the portion of your attic, garage or basement into an ADU.
Although finishing an attic or basement typically has no drawbacks, many house owners do not want to sacrifice access to the garage. Instead of converting a garage, installing an ADU on top of it is frequently viable, preserving your current garage.
Luxurious ADU Vacation
A luxurious ADU might be the ideal setting for a staycation or offer visitors fantastic accommodations. Give yourself and your visitors amenities that will make you feel relaxed and pleased. Luxury ADU design ideas include the following, yet your preferences will ultimately dictate these choices:
- Heated floors and towel warmers in the spa bathroom
- Yoga or meditation room
- outside, a small rock garden (or any natural element that relaxes you)
- A tiny bar cart or wine bar in the kitchen
- Convenient, energy-efficient, and secure, innovative technology
