A room addition or extension at home might sound like a good idea, but what exactly would you use the extra space for? Luckily, there are tons of ideas out there.

  1. Home office – Working from home has become a way of life for many. But not having a dedicated space for office needs can make working from home more of a hassle than it needs to be. By adding a home office, you’ll guarantee a quiet, isolated space to get your job done.
  2. Children’s playroom – Few things are more frustrating than having to clean up after your kids. From toy firetrucks to Barbie dolls, a playroom makes it easy to keep the kids in one safe area without them making a mess all over the house.
  3. Hobby or craft room – No matter what your hobby might be, you deserve a space to enjoy it. Scrapbooking, sewing, painting and woodworking are all good examples of hobbies that should have their own room.
  4. Wine cellar – Wine collecting has become a pretty common hobby. And many homeowners choose not to store their precious bottles in the kitchen. So why not build a special room for them?
  5. Reading room – Book worms usually require a distant cozy and quiet spot to catch up on their latest read.
  6. Game or media room – These days, technology seems to have taken over the entire house. It might help to cut down on the chaos by limiting use of laptops, video games and tablets to a media room.
  7. Workout room – If you plan to stick with your New Year’s resolution, a room just for exercising would be a good way to encourage yourself to keep up the good work!
