Home additions are a wonderful investment; they’re also a popular option for expanding square footage. According to Custom Builder, around 31% of home builders report that their clients want a significantly larger home — more than 500 square feet larger than their current residence. If you’re considering this project but aren’t sure what exactly you want, continue reading below to learn about three ideas for rooms you can get out of a home addition.
1. A Guest Bedroom
Do you like having friends and family visit or spend the night? Would you like to have some overnight guests but don’t have the room for them? If so, creating a guest bedroom out of your home addition may be the right option for you. This will encourage your family to come visit around the holidays even more than they do now!
2. A New Bathroom
Most modern homes have at least two bathrooms, but this still may not be enough for everyone living in and visiting your home. Having another bathroom can really create a sense of comfort for everyone in the home. You can take this time to update your other bathrooms with heated floors and rain showers, too. A reputable team like ours can handle updating multiple areas in one project.
3. An Expanded Kitchen
A kitchen needs a good amount of room to be practical for everyday use. After all, it’s not only the place where you prepare and cook all the meals for your family; it’s likely also the homework area and where friends and family gather for holidays, parties, and events. If you feel like you never have enough elbow room while gathering or cooking, or you simply don’t have the storage space you need, using a home addition to expand your kitchen is an excellent investment. Not only will expanding your kitchen create a more functional, practical space for your use, but you’ll also enjoy increased interest when you choose to sell your home in the future.
