Rooms can Change to Whatever You Want!
A person’s home is their castle, but sometimes that castle isn’t big enough to accommodate all its occupants. Maybe you’ve got a baby on the way or an older parent is moving in with you. Maybe you need a workshop to keep up with your hobbies. Whatever the reason, it’s normal to outgrow your space. When it happens, you’ve got two choices—move to a larger home or build an addition to your current home.
Oftentimes, we don’t have the ability to just move right away, but most homes have some spaces that can be changed to your needs without too much hassle! So today, we’ll take a look at some ways you can convert a new room to your needs.
A Quick Overview
Do you have an extra garage, spare bedroom, unused closet, small bathroom, spare bedroom, or attic that’s just being used for storage or taking up valuable square footage? Consider converting the room into something more useful like a bedroom, workshop, or craft room. Room conversions can make that extra square footage work for you, as long as you know what you’re doing or employ the skills of a contractor.
Depending on the type of conversion you’re planning, Poorly done conversions can end up costing you more money, and lowering the value of your home, so make sure everything is done properly!
How to Convert a Room
So, the first and most important thing, is what you need. If you need a bathroom, things can be a little harder as you’ll need more plumbing, electricity, and such. However, if you want to turn a spare room into a workshop, a little design and a small addition can go a really long way.
If you want to turn something into a legal bedroom, keep in mind, there are certain things that need to be done such as a window (that could be escaped from) and a few other little things. However, most contractors can easily give you the requirements, but keep in mind, you could have a little extra cost if your room isn’t currently up to standards.
Next, if you’re looking to add space into a closet or bedroom or turn something into a pantry, can vary greatly. If you don’t have to knock down any walls, a room conversion can be somewhat simple, but if you do have to knock down walls to really achieve your goal, again you will want someone who can look over your home for structural integrity to decide if this is actually worthwhile.
Design Will Make All the Difference
Ahead of everything, remember, a great design on a new room will not only make the space feel like your own but also make use of that extra square footage you were not taking advantage of before. While this also really helps your living situation, it will also greatly increase your resale value!
