Add personal touches
Does your mother-in-law adore fresh flowers or tea? What’s her favorite candle? Are there any special family photos to frame? Incorporating some of her favorite things will not only make the decorating process easier, but also make the space feel uniquely hers.
Make it feel like home
While shopping for new items with your mother-in-law is undoubtedly a great bonding experience, don’t forget to bring some of her own belongings when she moves in. This move is likely a big adjustment for your mother-in-law and allowing her to combine her treasures (old and new) is a great way to minimize stress and build an environment that feels like home.
Creating the perfect mother-in-law suite is no simple task but following these tips will guarantee that your entire family is satisfied with the results. When in doubt, don’t forget: if mom is happy, then everyone is happy!
