Fun Additions For
Your Home
The decision to add another room to your home is a difficult
one. It usually involves a significant amount of work and planning but can add
useful living space to your home. Not only that, but it can add value to your
home. It’s important that you have a good idea of what room you would like to
add to your home and to be sure it doesn’t look like an afterthought. So here
is a list of room addition ideas that will look great on your home.
A Hanging Porch
A hanging porch will look natural on almost any home. It is
also a relatively simple addition because it does not involve building an
entire new four-walled room. This is obviously a seasonal room and will not
have a significant increase on the value of your home.
Room On Top of the
Garage
While this could really be any room it is usually made into
an additional bedroom. This is a great place to have a guest room or an
additional media room. This can be rather costly as heating/cooling this room
will be an additional concern. However because this is a costly and difficult
addition it will add value to your home.
Sun Room
Sun rooms or sun porches are, much like porches, easier and
less expensive then adding a new full room. Unlike porches they can be used all
year round. These do not add the same value to the home as a four walled room
because they do not provide the function of a bedroom or other living area. These
are not a real substitution to a full on room addition but do provide a unique
space to your home.
Media Room
If you’re adding new room to your house, you no doubt you
have thought of adding a media room. This provides an additional gathering room for
guests and family members. Adding a home theater or media room will add value
to your home as it is a four-walled room with temperature control and
electricity. Not to mention that it could also be used as an additional bedroom
in the future.
