Your growing family is suddenly making your once comfortable home feel too small. Or maybe just a part of your home has you longing for more space – a larger kitchen would make life easier, or a separate laundry room would make room for a half bath.
Whatever your need, a home addition can provide the solution for less investment than you think. Plus, any home addition will increase the value of your home, a return you will pocket when you decide to sell later on. The key is planning for an addition that targets what your family needs.
Creative home additions in Akron, Ohio
When it comes to needing extra space to spread out, home additions don’t have to break the bank. Some creative planning can mean the dream addition you want and the space you need while making your existing home feel like a brand new place.
The most common needs of a growing family are a larger kitchen, an extra bedroom and/or bathroom, a larger master bathroom, and a family or three-seasons room.
Kitchens in Medina, Ohio
The kitchen is the gathering space in your home no matter how small it is. When your home’s design doesn’t allow for making it bigger, you can create more space for food prep, snacking, and lingering over coffee by taking down an exterior wall and building out to add dining space or a food pantry so you can reclaim some of the existing space for an island and bar seating.
Bedrooms and bathrooms in Akron, Ohio
Add a small bedroom or create a master suite by expanding your home to a side yard or part of your backyard. Your extra bedroom can access a hall bath while the master allows for uninterrupted morning or evening prep that includes a double vanity, an oversized shower, and a soaking tub.
If you have an attached garage, you may be able to expand storage space above it simply by adding a dormer and build that extra bedroom you need. Even detached garages may lend themselves to building up. Check with your builder to see if your garage can support a second floor.
Family rooms in Medina, Ohio
Adding a family room to the back of your home can be a simple addition that brings a big return. A slab addition can be prefabricated or customized to provide extra living space for television, gaming, or as home office space.
Budget bump-outs in Akron, Ohio
A bump-out addition is typically a small extension on the back or side of your home no bigger than 10 or 15 feet. This small investment allows you to avoid a major renovation while making the most of the space you have. Your bump-out can add dining space to a kitchen, a mudroom to your backdoor, a laundry room to your first floor, or pantry and second refrigerator space for your kitchen prep area.
Because these small additions do not require extensive foundation or roofing work, they can be among the most cost-effective ways to expand the space in your home.
