Home additions can increase your property’s square footage and functionality. According to the home experts at RubyHome, roughly 55% of homeowners invested in a remodeling project in 2021. Many of these projects involved a home addition build! If you're interested in this project, the first step in planning is to decide which type of addition you want. Let’s look at just four popular options to choose from.

1. A Bump Out

This is one of the most popular types of additions that homeowners choose. A bump out often consists of simply expanding existing living spaces. For example, if your kitchen is too small and cramped, you can choose to expand this space so you can have a bigger cooking area! You can also choose to expand your living room, which is another common option since families want large areas where they can all spend time together.

2. A Sunroom

Sunrooms are also a popular type of home addition because they increase your living space. The sunroom is a nice mixture of a living room and a porch. A sunroom can be visually quite different from the rest of the house, offering an exciting way to get creative with design and decoration. You can use a sunroom to read, knit, drink coffee, draw, or even watch a movie!

3. A Home Office

More and more people are given the option to work completely remotely or on a hybrid schedule. If you like the idea of working from home but don't have space to set up a desk, you may be interested in an addition dedicated to becoming your new home office! You can choose the best layout to work in. You can outfit the space with a desk, a comfortable chair, a bookshelf, and storage bins.

4. A Second Level Garage

A twist on the garage conversion would be to add an extra story to the garage. Adding living space above your garage can be useful if you need a nursery for a new baby entering the world, a brand-new master bedroom if yours is too small, or a workout space if you don't love going to the gym. Expert builders can construct this new space so you can access it from your existing second floor.
