How to Increase Your Home’s Square Footage

Any home, big and small, can benefit from a home addition project. Renovation projects like this have the potential to result in a significant return on investment, and it does offer many practical benefits like additional storage and living space. Here are a few ways you can increase the usable square footage in your home.

Bump Out Your Kitchen

A kitchen bump-out is one of the least intrusive ways to create more space in this room. It’s also less costly and time-consuming than a full addition. Cantilevered bump-outs, which are unsupported by posts, won’t even require any foundation work. You don’t have to worry about additional heating or cooling either.

Create a Room Above the Garage

This is usually recommended by new addition contractors to homeowners who want to avoid a messy and extensive construction job. Since your garage already has a foundation in place, all you need to worry about are walls, a roof and a few windows. You can turn this extra room into any kind of space you want – a bedroom, a home library, a game room, etc.

Convert Your Porch Into a Sunroom

A sunroom is a good option for those who want to extend their indoor living space and at the same time have a comfortable area where they can also enjoy the outdoor scenery. To be considered livable square footage, your sunroom should have heating and cooling, and it should be accessible from your home.
