Home Remodeling Beyond the Kitchen and Bath
Look beyond the kitchen and bath for home remodeling. Additions elsewhere can make kitchens and baths feel like they have been revamped.
It is well known that the most popular home remodeling projects are the kitchen and the bathrooms; they are also the most involved and the most expensive. If you are unhappy with the space, usefulness, functionality of your kitchen or bath, but you cannot foot the makeover bill, consider some other projects that can benefit your kitchen and bath without hollowing your budget. Additions or redesigns of studies, laundry rooms, and patios can provide the extra space needed to get non related activities out of your kitchen and bath.It has been called table ministry, and while gathering around the table for family meals or meetings may anchor a family, things like homework, school projects, or sewing and home crafts can clutter up your kitchen space. Suring a busy school year, you may find yourself dreading cooking and busting your budget on take out dinners because you feel cramped, overwhelmed, or disorganized in the kitchen. Redesigning your cabinets and storage space is not going to ease homework. What you need is a designated study area. The addition of a study, even if it is not an entire room but a carved out space, can give you your kitchen back. Think of closets that you do not utilize fully. With a little demolition and custom fitting, even the smallest corner closet can be turned into a study nook without taking up any additional space.
A lot of times the bathroom, especially the master bathroom which should be a getaway for the adults in the house gets used as a catch all. It is where the laundry gathers both dirty and clean, and it is the only place an ironing board can expand without taking up a walkway or without being an eye soar, except to you. Take a look at your laundry area. Minimal expansion of a wall, added shelving, a built in ironing board, laundry sorters, and cabinets added in even the smallest of laundry spaces can clear up the master bath and make it feel relaxing and uncluttered. Before vamping up your shower, getting shiny new fixtures, or picking space opening tile, try getting everything out of the bathroom except things needed at your vanity, in your tub, or in your shower. Clothes, ironing, hampers, etc belong somewhere else, and it is certainly a less involved approach to add some functionality to a laundry room instead of undertaking a home remodeling project on a bathroom.
If it is plain old additional room you are looking for, but the thought of knocking out walls, building into the attic, etc. is just too stressful, consider a covered patio addition. A covered, enclosed patio provided an extension of the outdoors for kids and grownups alike to enjoy. It can function as a conversational gathering space, a game room, an extra home theatre, or anything you need. This area, which for most floor plans will be juxtaposed to the existing kitchen, will take a lot of stress of the use of the dining and kitchen area letting the kitchen remain as the place to cook and gather for meals.
Sometimes a home remodeling addition in another room of the house is all you need to regain function in a kitchen or bathroom.
