7 Home Addition Ideas Perfect for Your Family
A house full of people gets pretty hectic sometimes! Getting kids ready for school and you ready for work can be challenging enough, but adding in visits from the in-laws, hosting get-togethers, and growing your family – you might find that your home isn’t meeting all of your demands.
That’s where a beautiful and functional home addition is just the thing you need! Build more space for the activities and people you love or makeover a space to truly fit your needs.
Coast 2 Coast Construction, your Palmetto-based custom home and home addition builder, has a few ideas on the best ways to add a tailored space to your property that accommodates everyone in your home.
1. Add a Sunroom
With Florida offering us 250 days of sun a year, take full advantage of it by adding a room to your home designed to bring you all the natural light you could want. The best part about sunrooms is that while providing you with all that sunlight, they are still fully enclosed, so you can comfortably use them year-round.
Turn your sunroom into a playroom for the kids or decorate it with comfy seating and luscious plants for a relaxing escape. This room is sure to invigorate you and help your whole family enjoy the outdoors without being fully outdoors.
2. Screen in Your Porch or Patio
Whether you have an existing porch or patio or you’d like to convert some space under your roofline, incorporating a screened-in porch or patio is a great way to add usable space to your home. Enjoy the fresh air and warmth of a Florida day, while having a shady place to sit with a built-in bug stopper.
Ideal for hosting parties, get-togethers, dinners, and more, a screened-in porch provides you with that extra space for entertaining and keeps your guests comfortable, too.
3. Build an Outdoor Kitchen
One of the biggest trends in outdoor living right now is to include an outdoor kitchen with your backyard patio or porch. Invite friends and family over for cookouts and barbeques in a beautiful, full-service outdoor living, dining, and cooking space.
Include shaded or screened-in areas or customize your outdoor kitchen with all the grilling and cooking features you need to make gourmet meals right in your backyard!
4. Customize a Garage
Whether you already have a garage or not, including a garage addition on your property provides you with so many additional storage and functional options for your home. Obviously, garages are great for storing anything from your vehicles to your boat or jet skis, and garages can be customized to fit the various sizes of all of your belongings.
But garage additions can also be tailored into workspaces, studios, workout rooms, and more. You can even build a two-story garage with in-law quarters or guest rooms on top.
The possibilities with garage additions are endless!
5. Remodel Your Bathroom
Oftentimes, homeowners discover that where they actually need the most space is in their bathrooms. Half-baths and awkward layouts in full bathrooms cause storage issues and make getting ready in the morning difficult for the whole family.
A tailored bathroom remodel is just the thing, not only to get rid of a dingy looking bathroom, but to add a better flow around the space, create custom cabinetry for storage, and include better tub and shower features.
When working with a company that specializes in custom remodels, you can design and build a bathroom that fits all of your needs.
6. Upgrade Your Kitchen
Another room in your home that benefits from added space or a more user-friendly layout is your kitchen. Renovate your kitchen with more open-concept spacing, perfect for gathering and cooking, as well as having easier access to everything you need when making a meal.
Design your kitchen with counter and bar stool areas to encourage conversations while you’re prepping a meal and create a more manageable flow between the important areas of your kitchen, like from your stove to your sink to your refrigerator.
A kitchen redesign is an easy and effective way to make entertaining and living in your home easier for your family!
7. Improve or Add a Laundry Room
It might seem like a small addition, but adding a laundry room or rearranging the layout of your existing one, can make all the difference in a busy household.
Incorporate a folding station and a space to hang dry clothes. Place your laundry machines in a space with easier access, or even build additional storage closets for seasonal clothes, extra linens, sporting equipment, and more.
Making even small additions or interior improvements to your home goes a long way when it comes to making life easier and more enjoyable for you and your family.
