Just because you’re somewhat limited on space in your home doesn’t mean you can’t add a room to your humble abode. One way to achieve this goal is to focus more on inside spaces where you can make some improvements here and there. We offer a wider range of suggestions for your consideration below.
Look at Your Existing Spaces First
Start by evaluating the spaces you have to work with in your cozier home to determine your options. For example, you might have a smaller area like a nursery that’s no longer being used. If this is the case, you may be able to use it for a repurposed room. Another possibility is to use space in your attic or basement.
Look for Spaces You Can Open Up
Next, see if there are areas in your home that can be made larger. In this case, you might have a small, closed-in kitchen you can open up to create a larger kitchen and dining area. In some smaller homes, there may be bedrooms that can be opened and joined together.
Consider Adding an Enclosed Patio
One other possibility is taking a porch and turning it into an enclosed patio. What you’ll be getting here is an entirely new room of sorts that’s closed in and protected from the elements. Such spaces can become play areas for kids or places where you can entertain during the holidays. Enclosed patios can also be practical in the summer, since these spaces can include ceiling fans. You can even add an entertainment system or a small indoor kitchen.
Work with a Contractor to Explore Your Options
If you’re still having trouble figuring out what to do with cozier spaces in your home, talk to professional room addition contractors. This is a good way to kick around some ideas and get some added input about options you may not have considered. During your initial consultation, you’ll also have the ability to take the following steps with your room expansion plans:
• Discussing your available budget
• Going over ideas and fine-tuning plans
• Clearly determining your intended purposes for a newly expanded smaller home
More often than not, it’s possible to find a creative way to add a room to a small home. Granted, some projects of this nature do require some special adjustments. However, an experienced contractor should be able to help you achieve your design goals.
