If you are building a house in Aurora, then you know that land, and the use of it efficiently is important. Home additions allow the home to have more space for use. It’s not as hard as you might imagine. Here are ten addition ideas to help expand your house.

Go Up

If you have a house that is a ranch style house, and you are able to build an addition that adds a second or third floor, then simply add another floor to your home. That allows the home to double in value and size. This is a perfect solution for a home that has a small plot where you can expand out.

Go Out

If you do have the room to add on to your home, then consider adding something that will not only add an expansion to the home but will also enhance the quality of life in your home. Consider making it something that adds whatever wasn’t available in the home before. Consider a pavilion that is a way to live outside 360 days per year.

Go Down

If you are able to build a basement under the home, then add a subterranean living space. Some people use this idea of a safe room in case something happens that endangers the family. Consider the way that you build the structure for safety. The options are limitless.

Go Sideways

One thing that many suburban homes do is to have homes that are right next to one another. Don’t be afraid to go right to the edge of your property line. That addition can add thousands of dollars to your home’s value. Don’t be afraid to use the entire property. It’s your property to use as you please.

Change the Walls

Another way to create an addition to your home is to take the walls that were already in place and change them around for optimum use of the size of rooms. All of that, as well as the other ideas, require professional guidance for walls that are foundation essential verses walls that can be changed around.

Build a Sunroom

Building a sunroom addition to the house allows your home to be open to the outdoors. By its very design, it is a way to open the feeling of the house up for a family. Like a mirror added to any space, it creates the illusion of more space within the actual real space that already exists.

Make a Room From the Outdoors.

Add patio furniture to the backyard or the front yard to add more space.

Build a Balcony

Another idea for a space that expands your living space without expanding your ground space is to build a balcony on your home on the second floor.

Green House

Home additions that add plants and other green energy will make the space better and add an energy to the living space.
