Thinking of adding on to your home? House additions are a great way to add to your property’s value, in addition to giving you a little more breathing room in a home that has begun to feel a bit small. If you’re not sure where to start, your first step should be choosing what kind of space would best suit your needs.

What Purpose Will the New Space Serve?

You already have all the essential spaces in your home—a kitchen, bedrooms, living space, bathrooms, etc.—so what kind of house addition will best complement your existing layout?

If you’re starting to work from home or have a family member entering college, expanded office space might be a good choice, giving you a quiet place to work or study. If you have guests frequently or are expecting new family members, another bedroom might be just the thing. But if you already have all the living space you need, you might be more interested in a space that invites the outdoors in, like a sunroom or screened porch, letting you enjoy all the beauty of fair weather and the comforts of the indoors.

And don’t forget to be creative! This isn’t just a house; this is your home. So take the time to think through what layout and features would be the most comfortable for you, and look forward to enjoying a space that is uniquely yours.
