When renovating your home, ensuring you have extra space can be a challenge. While there are many ways to create extra space, not all of them are feasible for every home. We will explore some of the best ways to ensure extra space when renovating your home. We will also look at some of the challenges associated with each method and how to overcome them. So if you are looking to upgrade your home and create more space, read on!

1. Make Sure To Have Enough Storage

One of the best ways to create extra space in your home is to make sure you have enough storage. Adding smart storage solutions such as built-in cupboards and shelves can help maximize available space and free up room for other things. You should also take into account the type of items that need to be stored to determine what kind of storage will be most suitable. You can also look at Storage Construction products that offer flexible solutions and can be customized to fit the dimensions of your home. One of the most effective ways of creating extra space at home is by expanding vertically rather than horizontally. This could involve building an extra level or two to your home, and making use of unused space on higher levels.

2. Utilize Multi-Functional Furniture

Another way to create extra space is by investing in multi-functional furniture such as sofas that can be turned into beds, desks with additional storage compartments, and chairs that double as ottomans. These pieces of furniture help you save floor space while providing essential functions. Additionally, you could look at movable/removable partitions which can be used to divide up open spaces and create distinct areas for different activities like sleeping, studying, and eating.

3. Increasing Square Footage

This is one of the most common methods for creating extra space when renovating your home. Increasing square footage involves adding a room or expanding an existing one. Depending on the size of your property and local building regulations, you may be able to build onto the side or back of your house, add a second story, or even build up by adding a loft conversion. If this isn’t something you can do, maximizing existing space can be a great way to create extra space without having to add new construction elements. The key here is to make sure that every item in your home has multiple uses and that you use decorative items to give the illusion of more space.

4. Invest in Space Saving Solutions

Space-saving solutions such as wall-mounted shelving, overhead storage, and hanging racks are a great way to make use of vertical spaces in your home and ensure you have plenty of extra space left over. Additionally, you can look into collapsible furniture like Murphy beds which allow you to easily fold away furniture and free up floor space when it’s not in use. Finally, adding sliding doors or pocket doors can help create an illusion of additional space by making entryways appear less constricting.

  • For example, a sliding door or pocket door can be used to separate two rooms while still allowing light to travel through the space. Not only does this free up more floor space, but it can also help create an illusion of a larger room by opening up visual pathways. Investing in these solutions can help you make the most of your home and ensure that every inch of space is being utilized.
  • If you’re looking for an even bigger change, consider installing a loft bed or bunk bed in your bedroom. Not only is this great for kids’ rooms, but it can also make a big difference in smaller bedrooms as well.

5. Out-Of-Home Storage

If you don’t have the option of creating extra space in your home, then one thing to consider is storing items out of the house. This could involve renting a storage unit or using a self-storage facility. These services provide secure and convenient ways of keeping items safe while freeing up valuable space in your home.

Storage Units

Storage units offer secure and convenient storage solutions for all kinds of items, from large furniture to small collectibles. Many people store seasonal items, clothing, records, and books in storage units. Other people use them to store extra business supplies or inventory. Storage units come in a variety of sizes and can be used short-term or long-term depending on the need. When considering a storage unit, check with local providers to find out what type of security measures they have in places like alarms, cameras, or access restrictions. Find out if there are any climate control features available as well as insurance options to ensure your belongings stay safe while stored away. You should also inquire about any fees or payment plans that may apply so you know what costs you will incur over time.

Self-Storage Facilities

Self-storage facilities offer an alternative to traditional storage units. These facilities typically provide both long and short-term solutions for storing items, with the added benefit of being able to access them at any time. Some self-storage facilities may be located on the premises of your home, making it easy to access when needed. However, if you choose a facility that is not located near your home, make sure you check into the rental policies and fees before signing any agreement.

6. Attic and Basement Organization

One of the easiest ways to create more space in your home is with attic and basement organization. These areas tend to get neglected, but they can be valuable sources of extra storage space if used properly. Start by de-cluttering and removing unnecessary items from these spaces before organizing what remains. Shelving units, bins, and cabinets are all great ways to maximize storage in these areas. Additionally, you should take advantage of any built-in features such as alcoves and cubbies which can be used for storing books or other items. Finally, consider adding insulation or waterproofing measures to protect your stored items from damaging moisture or temperature fluctuations.

Additionally, ensure the space created will be functional, and make sure to measure multiple times before beginning any renovations!
