Hello World! Welcome Friends! With so many people working from home nowadays, floor space has become an important factor, but increasing your home’s floor space also increases the value of your property and makes it easier to sell. Here are some smart ways for you to increase your home’s floor space.
Minimize the Home
If you want your home to feel more spacious, you don’t have to extend the square footage. Of course, you can if you want, but increasing the square footage is a more expensive and time-consuming project. A fast way is to minimize your home by downsizing all the rooms.
Homes fill up quickly with furniture and clutter that becomes familiar and comfortable, but do you really need an extra chair, bookshelf, or bureau in your living room? If the answer is no, or you want the home to feel more spacious, it’s time to sell some of these items in second-hand stores.
Buy Smaller Furniture
On a similar note, you can increase the floor space in your home by buying smaller furniture items that take up less space. After downsizing, look into more space-efficient items such as smaller sofas and beds. Even small changes in furniture size can give you more floor space.
Swapping your existing furniture for smaller items or reducing the furniture items in your home requires organization and economy, but it doesn’t have to be expensive or inconvenient. Find a suitable place to sell your furniture online or offline and swap the items over one at a time.
Convert Rooms
If you want to get more value from your home, then convert your rooms into purposeful spaces. Lofts make excellent home offices, basements make ideal home gyms, and spare bedrooms are perfect Airbnb businesses. Additionally, you create more floor space in the garden with a patio.
Converted rooms create more viable floor space in the home and therefore increase the home’s market value. If you have a spare room, loft, basement, or even a large cupboard, think about how you can convert it. As well as the added value, these rooms make your home easier to sell.
Sliding Doors
One smart way to increase your home’s floor space significantly is to use sliding doors wherever possible. In Japan, where space is always at a premium, sliding doors are normal in the majority of homes. Sliding doors offer privacy and allow you to use the room more efficiently in general.
When you have doors that open, it means you can’t place furniture items behind the door. A door that opens might be the norm in western countries, but when you think about it, they require a lot of space to operate. The smart alternative is to use sliding doors in the kitchen and bedrooms.
Conservatory
One of the easiest ways to increase the floor space in your home is to build a conservatory at the back. Conservatories come in different shapes and sizes; you can choose a square one, a rectangular one, L-shaped one, or a Victorian style to add some tradition to your home’s style.
Conservatories increase your home’s floor space immediately and immediately add value to the property. The only trouble is they require building permits and can take some time to install. However, once they have been installed, you can enjoy a second living room with a nice view.
Butler Buildings
Whether you are looking for a large storage building for your property or a smaller shed for a garden, Butler Buildings are the perfect option. Over the years, Butler Buildings have gained a reputation for quality and reliability. They are also convenient to install and have excellent value.
What makes butler buildings stand out is the pre-fabricated designs that allow you to see exactly how the building looks once it is installed. Not only that, the pre-fabrication makes them easier and faster to install, so you spend less time planning and more time enjoying the space.
Garden Rooms
How would you like to watch the seasons change from the comfort of a garden room? Garden rooms are becoming a popular feature to install in the home because it increases the home’s value, their saleability and gives you a pleasant place to spend some time away from the family.
Garden rooms are available in different shapes and sizes, so you don’t have to be limited with your budget. Even a small shed-like garden room can be fitted with insulation, a wood-burning stove, and plenty of cushions to make a cozy little space to spend your evening or weekends.
