Remodel To Increase Your Living Space

Do you believe that your living space is cramped and unorganized? A home design project that involves increasing your living space may supply you with an open and airy layout.

The Structural Components

If there are a lot of hallways or walls that separate various rooms, you may be able to have some of them eliminated. The structural integrity of your home should remain intact since some load-bearing walls are essential in supporting ceilings, roofing materials, and other building components.

However, you may be able to eliminate some walls that are not serving much of a purpose. An inspection of your home is vital, in determining what types of modifications can safely be performed. The expansion of a room could involve removing a central wall. This type of expansion can be used to combine two living spaces.

For instance, a kitchen and a dining room that are each enclosed separately could become one wide open space. This type of remodeling project does not increase the overall size of your residence, but will adequately increase the amount of living space that you are supplied with.

Downsizing And Storage Solutions

Full-sized furnishings and an overabundance of wall art and three-dimensional decorations could take up valuable space or make your home appear to be crowded. Versatile furnishings that are smaller in size could optimize the amount of room that you are supplied with throughout your home. Consider trading in an oversized dining room table for a dinette table and chairs.

Contemplate reducing the number of chairs and couches you have in your home and investing in some love seats or simpler seating arrangements. A design project coordinator can help you choose pieces that will be fully functional, versatile, and smaller in size than what you already own. If you do not want to part with wall hangings and other decor items within your home, the use of some strategic storage units may aid with preserving the pieces that you will not actively keep on display.

Storage chests can be installed in the corners of a room. Recessed shelving can be used to store excess items too. Your project coordinator will prepare plans that will add sufficient storage in each part of your home where you are trying to reduce clutter. Finished storage chests that are constructed of wood or recessed shelving units that contain wooden components will beautify your home, without taking up valuable space.
