<\/a><\/div>\ncopyright image by https:\/\/123rf.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kitchens are by far the most important room in the home; a kitchen renovation returns the greatest value on the investment. The challenge for some homeowners is the size and shape of their current kitchen area – it doesn’t allow much renovation given the limited space. So a bump-out or extending the kitchen into another part of the home area may be the best option to give your the kitchen the style and shape it needs.<\/li>\n \t\tOne popular reason why a lot of homeowners add an addition is for an all-season room. It could be a simple conversion of a deck or patio by enclosing the area into a all-season room with access by the existing patio door. A place you can enjoy the summer rays and a morning coffee without the worry of inclement weather and pesky insects.<\/li>\n Does your bathroom need to be a bit larger? Perhaps! That is if you want to install a walk-in shower and a free-standing tub with space to walk around. The extension might be part of the master bedroom area to give you the space you need for an outstanding, modern-looking bathroom.<\/li>\n If you are going to steal area space from the bedroom to enlarge the bathroom, perhaps you need to re-think how to make the extension work for both areas. Perhaps a bump-out may be needed where you have both an enlarged master bedroom and bathroom to meet your needs. This type renovation can also bring a higher resale value.<\/li>\n \t\tWe are referring to a game room – home theater room – man cave – or a she-crafts-room for individual and family entertainment. Areas of the home that can be converted into a recreational room include basements, attics, and garages. But you might consider an extension to add an additional room to the house strictly for recreational purposes.<\/li>\n Remote work is increasing; and the technological trends will likely allow for more opportunities to work from home. But for remote work to work, you need a dedicated area where you can work, converse, and manage your time without family interruptions. Many homeowners are converting rooms or adding small extensions where the home office can be privately sanctioned off during working hours.<\/li>\n \t\tYou must be tired of all that mud that comes into the house – or more tiresome with backpacks and other “home from school” stuff that gets dumped all over the house. That is where a mudroom comes into play – a place where the family must go before entering the house.<\/li>\n What extensions can you do in the attic? The most popular extensions are those that build up with skylights, open balconies, and other construction to convert the attic into living space. Basements on the other hand are limited. Your best option is to covert the current space into a valuable segmented sections for recreation and storage.<\/li>\n You may not have an attached garage; or your current garage sq. footage is a bit too small to satisfy your needs. Garage extension are fairly easy to do if your property space allows for an extension. Larger garage space means room for multiple cars, rafter storage, and an important workbench.<\/li>\n \t\tAny home addition or bump-out will require the structural necessities for wiring, possible plumbing, walls, doors, windows, flooring, etc. As you plan your renovation, view ideas that convert the construction into an important part of your home structural layout.<\/li>\n Don’t forget that future homes are becoming more “green” and automated. What green materials can you use for your construction and how can automation make your extension easy to maintain?<\/li>\n Quik scroll to next topic about everything you need to know about room additions …<\/p>\n <\/span> ideas to view and compare from the photo above<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n planning home addition<\/a>planning home extension<\/a>kitchen remodeling<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n\nWhat are room additions?<\/h2>\n
