ADU Design Ideas to Maximize Your Space Inside and Out

No matter which size is best for your needs, Fremont ADU design leaves plenty of indoor and outdoor space to decorate as you see fit.

Below are some of our meticulous ADU design ideas to help you achieve the ultimate unit to impress you, your guests, or potential tenants.

An open floor plan

An open floor plan with sliding glass doors and large windows allows in enough sunlight making your ADU appear more spacious than it is.

 

Stick to a light palette

To create an open and livelier effect in your ADU design, consider linen in grey, light green, or breeze colors.

 

Avoid clutter with built-in storage units

Built-in storage units and shelves organize everything neatly to exploit every inch of available space and avoid clutter in your ADU.

 

Mirror installation

A carefully placed mirror improves the illusion of larger spaces in ADU design beyond their actual square footage.

 

Incorporate flora

Sensibly placed greenery with large leaves bring the outdoors indoors for the ultimate tranquility eliminating negative space without adding to the clutter.

 

Deck installation

If space allows, furnishing the outdoors with stunning chairs and a table expands your ADU floor plan without the need to add another room.

 

Minimalism and Simplicity

Minimalism and simplicity are crucial features in ADU design. Done Right Home Remodeling professionals focus on simple architectural forms, clean lines, and uncluttered space while not compromising its functionality to serve your unique needs.

Below is how we bring your calming, minimalist ADU design idea to reality;

  • Large window installation – this sets up views out to the landscape and allows plenty of natural light into the unit creating an inviting and comfortable space that feels much larger.
  • Incorporating natural materials – finishing walls, floors, and other surfaces with natural materials such as wood, stone, and metal gives your ADU a more organic and calm feel creating a harmonious relationship with nature.
  • Open floor plan – it prioritizes flow and connectivity between different spaces in your ADU creating a sense of spaciousness even in a smaller space.
  • Texture and tone – incorporating a variety of textures in the same color tones add depth and interest to your space without making it overwhelming.
