With seemingly unending months of stay-at-home orders, it is not surprising that there has been an increasing interest in house addition projects. For some individuals, being cooped up in the house with all their loved ones made them realize the urgent need for extra space in their homes. For others, a house addition brings the opportunity to create an area where they can spend time in solitude without actually having to leave their homes.
Irrespective of what category you fall under, you likely want to engage in a project that will increase the value of your house while providing you with much-needed functionality. If this is the case, keep reading for a couple of value-adding house additions that you can consider investing in for your property.
A sunroom
Although sunrooms were previously considered to be a residential version of a greenhouse, these spaces have dramatically evolved over the years. In the present day, a sunroom is a great inclusion to any home, as this space can be multifunctional. For instance, if you have started working from home and are wondering whether you should construct a home office, you may want to consider a sunroom instead, as this space will give you the illusion of working al fresco.
On the other hand, if you and your loved ones have busy schedules and only get to spend time together at breakfast, a sunroom can function as the ideal breakfast nook that sets the mood for the rest of the day. To keep your energy bills low, discuss with your construction contractor on energy-efficient glass solutions such as Low-E windows, double glazed windows, and so on.
A game room
After spending so much time at home during quarantine, you and your loved ones may have rekindled a love for games. However, simply because you are back to your typical schedules does not mean that you should stop enjoying a bit of competition amongst yourselves. To keep this spirit alive, you may want to consider a house addition in the form of a dedicated game room.
The great thing about game rooms is that they can be designed to suit your individual tastes, for example, you could have a shelf of board games on one wall and a TV with your favorite video games on another! You could even consider furnishing the space to accommodate friends over and create a tradition of game nights at your house. Discuss with your construction contractor how best to personalize this house addition to suit your family's needs.
