The most important component in planning a room addition to your home is to determine the use for the space that you plan to add. Once you have decided whether you prefer a sun room, a play room, a game room, or an extra bedroom, the rest becomes much simpler.
With a clear vision of your expectations for the functionality of the space, you can relax with confidence knowing that your architect will be able to draw plans that accommodate your wishes.
Most common themes for room additions...
The most common home additions are sun rooms or patios, decks, game rooms, extra bedrooms, and dens. Porches and decks make great home additions. 2006 and 2007 mark the historical high for Chicago residential deck additions.
The weather in Chicago is absolutely beautiful during the summer months. Many people who live in the Chicago suburbs opt to take advantage of the short-lived warm months by adding a deck or patio for frequent friendly gatherings and conversation places for neighbors to convene.
Other homeowners choose to add a game room or den to their home. If there are more members of your family now than there were when you purchased your home, you may want to consider adding a den for the kids. With an additional den or game room, your children can watch Shrek II or play Connect Four with friends while you and your spouse enjoy the news or a movie of your own with a little peace and quiet.
When your children were young, sharing a bedroom with one another seemed fine with them, but as they have gotten older it has become an issue. Maybe adding an extra bedroom to your home will solve an abundance of sibling rivalry and save you from taking frequent trips to the medicine cabinet for Aspirin!
There are many functionality choices for room additions. The key to choosing the right one for your family is to determine where your greatest needs are and go from there.
