As families grow (and you accumulate more stuff), your forever home can start to feel a little cramped. Some might consider selling, but if you have your home paid off already or you just really love the area, putting your house on the market might not be the best decision. Consider remodeling and adding on, instead.
Think you need more space? Here are 4 home addition projects to consider before you make a decision that will affect your future living space.
Looking for a home addition project that will give you the best return on your investment? Look no further than the kitchen. Everyone could use a little extra wiggle room in this space, no? The kitchen is where you spend breakfast with the family and brew up a nice cup of Joe. It’s a communal space that everyone in the house should enjoy. With a kitchen addition project, you could add on a breakfast nook or extend your cabinet space. You could even upgrade your appliances for better functionality. Honestly, the possibilities are endless.
Need an extra room for games and relaxation? Has your spouse always wanted a room where they can watch the big game on a flat screen? Consider a basement addition. When you need more square feet in your home, but don’t have the ability to build out, build down instead. This project will take a bit of excavation and construction work—and it’s not feasible for every homeowner—but it is something to ask about when considering a home addition. You’ll simply need to find the best fit for your situation and your family’s lifestyle.
Have you taken in an aging parent? Did your kids return home after college and need a more private place to crash? Consider a mother-in-law suite. In-law suites are a growing trend—and, no, they are not just for your spouse’s parents. They are simply an attached, but still separate, living space that includes a bedroom, bathroom, living area, and mini-kitchen. If you are considering renting out a portion of your home for Airbnb or other home sharing services, a mother-in-law suite addition might work for you too.
Have a lot of out-of-town friends and family? Don’t make them stay in a hotel or rent a room online—give them the option to stay with you. Guest room additions are by far one of the simplest home addition projects out there. Don’t need a full guest room addition? Consider a bump-out addition instead. Bumping out the wall a bit to give your guests extra space (as small as two feet and as large as 15 feet) does not always require a roof or foundation work—making the cost significantly less than a traditional home addition.
