If you’ve ever felt like your home is missing something or your family has outgrown it, a home addition might be something you should be considering. Whether you’re looking to add living space to your existing layout or increase your home’s functionality, a home addition will definitely enhance your home’s appeal and your overall quality of life. Not sure what type of addition might suit you best? Here’s a few ideas to get you started.
Add a Garage!
Here’s a simple home addition idea; if you haven’t already got one, add a garage! Apart from its most obvious use, a garage can serve multiple purposes. Whether you need the extra storage space, somewhere to finally set up that workshop you’ve always been dreaming about, or somewhere to store your car while it’s not in use, adding a garage to your home is a great way to increase space in your home and add functionality. Not to mention a garage will add to your home’s property value!
Your Very Own Sunroom
A sunroom or a conservatory is an excellent home addition to extend your summer and enjoy the beautiful outdoors year-round. They’re are ideal for entertaining guests or for simply relaxing and enjoying the beauty that surrounds you with your family, and one of the best ways to expand your home’s indoor living space.
Expand Your Bedroom
Home additions aren’t just limited to adding new rooms or floors to your house. Adding on to your existing bedroom opens up a whole array of new possibilities. Even adding something as small as a walk-in closet or that ensuite bathroom you’ve always wanted can completely change your bedroom and the way you feel about it. Any unused rooms or space around your bedroom present a great opportunity to expand and transform your current bedroom into your own personalized relaxation zone.
Now that you’ve seen a few home addition ideas you might be ready to get started, but don’t jump the gun! While it may seem simple on paper, a successful home addition isn’t as simple as knocking down a few walls and building new rooms. Just a few of the considerations you need to make include your specific needs, budget, and any special permits or permissions you may need from your municipality.
