Ideas for Making Extra Room in Your Home

When you need extra space at home, you have a few options. You can either create an additional room, or you can move. If you are not interested in the idea of moving, here are some great ideas on how to create extra room in your home. Keep reading to learn about home addition ideas. 

Dividing Rooms

This could be a great option if you have a large, divided room. Larger rooms can be divided by building a simple wall. This is often an inexpensive and simple project that can be completed in a few days. If you do not want to build a permanent wall, consider temporarily dividing the room, such as with a sliding divider.

Sideways Extensions

If your home will accommodate it, you might consider having a room extension built sideways along a side of the home. Adding room additions not only gives you and your family the extra room you need, but it also increases the value of the home by increasing the livable space of the home.

Build Upward

You might also consider building a new level to the home. Building up is a great way to add space and value to the home. You would need to talk with a contractor to discuss the possibility of building upward in the first place. There are a lot of factors involved when it comes to adding a second story to a home.

Convert an Attic

If you have ample attic space, why not put it to better use by converting it into a room? Attic rooms are a great way to add space and are often cool, cozy spots in the home. An attic space could be converted into another bedroom, a playroom, or even an office. 

Use Garage Space

If you have a garage with a lot of head space, you can use that space to create another room over the garage. This is often unused space that most people forget about.

Another use of garage space would be to convert the garage into additional rooms. Garage conversions are often done quickly and easily.

Redo Basement Space

A lot of basements are not ideal living areas, but they can become ideal with a few changes. Finishing up an unfinished basement will provide a ton more living space for you and your family. Most basements simply need flooring, paint and maybe some HVAC to become comfortable living areas.
