Types of Home Additions to Consider When You Need More Space
Have you outgrown your home? There are many reasons for building an addition to your home. For example, your family may need an in-law or master bedroom suite for aging parents or aging-in-place. If you run a home-based business, you might need more room for that. Or, perhaps, you’re looking for something more original like a home entertainment room. Whatever the reason, you have most likely asked yourself difficult questions about whether you should move to a larger home or remodel the one you have. Fortunately, there are a number of additions you can choose from, including private suites, entertainment areas, home theaters and sunroom.
Merrell Building is the home addition contractor that can design and build the space that meets your need. Our design team works with you to create additional living space that’s not just functional but stylish and beautiful. Most importantly, when the project is complete, the outside of the extra space will appear seamless with your existing home.
Private Suites
If you are tired of sharing a bathroom and living room with the rest of the family, you should consider having a master suite built. This type of addition could consist of just a bedroom and attached bathroom, or you could go all out and add a walk-in closet, dressing room and small sitting room. The more expansive layout is a perfect choice if you are designing an in-law suite or a private zone for houseguests.
Entertainment Areas
This designation covers a lot of ground. An entertainment area could be as simple as a basement rec room with a walk-out area or as elaborate as a home theater, complete with tiered seating and surround sound. Your design options are almost limitless.
Custom Sunrooms
If what you want are sunroom, you have a lot of flexibility. For example, a glass-walled room could be used as a family room, with sofas and a cozy fireplace, or you could have a hot tub installed and add French doors leading to an inviting patio area. Another great use for a sunroom is an indoor greenhouse.
Discuss any and all of your ideas with your Home Addition Contractor. His or her experience will be an invaluable resource as you consider different layouts and designs. You will also want to make efficient use of your home’s existing structure and position on the lot.
