Living room renovation in Southeast Michigan
The living room serves as the heart of your Southeast Michigan home, where families gather after long Michigan winters and friends connect during those perfect summer evenings. Whether your space feels cramped from that original 1960s layout or you’re ready to embrace the open concept trend sweeping through Ann Arbor and Birmingham neighborhoods, Wright’s Renovations transforms dated living rooms into stunning spaces that reflect how modern families actually live.
Open concept transformations for modern living
Southeast Michigan homeowners increasingly choose to open up their floor plans, removing walls between living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens. This renovation style works beautifully in the colonial homes throughout Northville and the ranch-style properties common in Canton. The team at Wright’s Renovations handles the structural engineering required to safely remove load-bearing walls while maintaining your home’s integrity.
Recent projects in Dexter and Plymouth showcase how connecting the kitchen to the living room creates natural entertainment flow. Katherine Anderson, Director of Strategic Operations, notes that families want to supervise homework and prepare dinner simultaneously, making these open layouts exceptionally practical for busy Michigan households.
Enhancing comfort and style
Living room renovations extend beyond layout changes. Wright’s Renovations installs custom built-ins and trim work that add character while maximizing storage. Crown molding, wainscoting, and coffered ceilings bring architectural interest to otherwise plain spaces.
Flooring updates dramatically change a living room’s feel. The team installs hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, or tile depending on your style preferences and Michigan’s humidity fluctuations. Custom fireplace renovations create focal points perfect for those cold January evenings when families want cozy gathering spaces.
Lighting transformations include recessed lighting installation, statement chandeliers, and strategic placement of outlets for modern technology needs. Window replacements or expansions bring natural light into darker spaces common in older Michigan homes, particularly those charming Victorian properties throughout Ann Arbor’s historic neighborhoods.
