2 Home Remodeling Options That Balance Luxury And Family
As you begin to consider a home remodeling project there are several questions that will often arise. One of those being: do I want to increase the square footage of my home? If the answer to that question is yes your next question should be: do we want to grow out or up?
The biggest factors to expanding the footprint of your home are the size of your lot and the location of your home on the lot. If you live on 10 acres and have plenty of space, spreading out won't be a problem. However, if your lot is small and you want to gain a significant amount of square feet, you simply must raise the roof.

Once you’ve made the bold and exciting chance to take your home remodeling to the next level you may be wondering what exactly to do with all of that extra space. If you have children, this is a great opportunity to build a second floor that takes into consideration the need for both family space and a peaceful, tidy grownup space.

Parental Privacy
A popular choice for parents is to create a second floor that becomes a parents-only zone where you and your partner can retreat from it all to enjoy your privacy and relax in a kid-free, snack free, toy-free space. We’ll call this addition the Parent Palace, and you can imagine how nice it would be to design the master suite of your dreams without having to consider kiddos in the mix. Considering the size of your downstairs, your Parent Palace could include his and hers closets, a giant bathroom, sitting room, home gym, and even a den. If you dream of days past when you have plenty of space that was all your own, the Parental Palace may be just the remodeling project you’ve been looking for.

Easily Hide Clutter
The flip side of that options is to dedicate your second floor to the kids and communal family space. Imagine walking into your living room one day and not seeing a single toy anywhere in sight. That could be your reality if you choose to use your second floor to house your children and all of their belongings! Then you won't ever have to scramble around cleaning up when your mother in law drops by. And while you’re at it, consider creating an upstairs den or theater room where the whole family can come together at night and enjoy games and movies together.

If finding the balance between the fun family spaces in your home and the peaceful grown-up spaces is becoming difficult, consider raising the roof on your home to create a special space for yourself or a contained space for your kids. If you’re not sure whether you want to grow out or up in your upcoming home remodeling project, contact us today. Our expert team will help you design the home remodel your family deserves.
