Top 5 Reasons to Expand Your Home With a Brand-New Home Addition

Are you in need of some extra space in your home? Our trusted design build company in Toronto, ON is here to ease you into the home renovation process. We’ve been completing home additions for couples in the area for years and are ready to tackle your project. If your house is feeling cramped, here are the top five reasons to expand its footprint by adding a brand-new, exciting home addition.

1. Add A Sunroom

If you’d like a dedicated space for reading, playing cards, listening to music, entertaining friends, or relaxing with a great outdoor view, a sunroom may be the perfect home addition for you. As their name suggests, sunrooms are meant to offer plenty of natural light to illuminate the space all year long. To maximize your outdoor vistas, our team will design your sunroom with ample windows and doors so you can enjoy the sun, as well as convenient access to the adjacent areas of your home–inside and out. 

Sunroom additions serve as a great in between space, transitioning from the indoor to the outdoor area of your home. Beyond being a beautiful place to relax, they make the ideal food serving area for parties, and can serve as a convenient place of refuge for family and friends in inclement weather. 

2. Add Exercise Space

As we age, it’s important to maintain our health and wellness with regular exercise throughout the week. If you’d like to be able to complete your cardio routine, practice yoga, lift some weights, or do a HIIT workout in the comfort of your home, then creating a new home addition with dedicated exercise space may be the perfect solution. 

Your exercise room floors can be equipped to handle not just the weight of cardio equipment, but also clad with scuff and slide resistant flooring for greater comfort and safety. 

Like to see yourself while you workout? Mirrors can be incorporated into your design. If privacy is a concern, ask your designer to include retractable shades into your design.

3. Create An Art Studio

If you are the creative type and long for a space where you can enjoy painting, drawing, pottery or sculpting, then a home addition would be the ideal way to create your very own art studio. With natural light, comfortable seating, and built in storage for all your art supplies, our design build team will customize the space to ensure that you’re never inhibited by space constraints when the muse strikes. 

4. An Entertainment Space

If entertaining is your primary motivation for adding space to your home, then we can help you create an entertaining-friendly home addition. Our team of home renovation experts can build you a bar and ensure you have ample room for watching your favourite sports teams, playing darts, displaying your favorite bottles of wine and spirits, beverage storage, and much more!

5. A Home Library or Office

If you love to read, but are weary of books cluttering counters and corners throughout your home, then look to incorporate tall built-in shelves to house your very own home library. Keep collecting books, and be sure to work with our design team to create a comfy seating area for reading. 

Home libraries can easily perform double duty as home offices. These spaces can easily be equipped with the insulation and doors necessary to limit noise from the rest of the household–providing the ideal quiet environment for your Zoom meetings. 

While the future of the Canadian economy is difficult to predict and somewhat uncertain, we did find that 73% of homeowners surveyed do plan to do at least one renovation in the next 12 months, according to HomeStars. This speaks to Canadians’ overall continued desire to improve their living aesthetic and functionality.
