You don't have to spend big bucks to live luxuriously. With the help of these home additions, you can take your interior design to the next level while also enjoying a beautiful, magazine-quality aesthetic. All while saving money to achieve that lavish look.
Bump-Outs
Also known as "micro-additions," bump-outs are small renovations that add more square footage to your home without the need for major construction. You might extend your kitchen, for example, to create space for a long island countertop. You might raise the ceiling of the attic to convert it into a bedroom space rather than just a storage space. Bump-outs are small, but they can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your home, especially if you're trying to upgrade.
Porches, Patios, and Decks
Outdoor additions will let you do something new with your home that doesn't impact its existing architecture. You'll lose a bit of free space in your front or back yard, but you'll gain an attractive exterior feature that boosts your curb appeal. It might even increase your property value when it's time to sell! Think about things like porches, patios, sunrooms, decks, gazebos, and sunrooms. If you have a multi-story home, you can also consider balconies and rooftop terraces. You can easily decorate it with modern-looking furniture or keep exotic-looking plants to give the area some color.
Luxury Showers
One of the best room additions for the feeling of extravagance is a luxury shower. You've probably heard of waterfall showers, but there are many others to consider as well, including steam showers and "vertical spas" inlaid with things like thermostatic valves. For even more of that spa-like feeling, you can build your luxury shower with glass doors, natural stone tiles, and seated benches. You could also invest in a jacuzzi tub with jets to massage any part of your body while you soaked. Not only will you be able to pamper yourself after a long day, but as with other home additions, you can increase your property value.
Glass Walls
Glass walls can feel like the height of luxury in architectural design, especially if you go all out with things like floor-to-ceiling windows. Other options include glass room dividers, folding or sliding glass doors, or "glass box" style offices or sunrooms. You can create a new room addition that incorporates a glass wall, or you can knock out an existing wall and replace it with glass for the feeling of an open-air design but the layout of a partitioned space. No matter how you incorporate it, the glass will be a very modern and stylish element for your home decor.
These are just a few ways to live lavishly with the help of new home additions. As you can see, you don't have to completely overhaul your home design. A few renovations here and there can be enough to transform your living space into something entirely new. Small touch-ups on your existing house will not only leave you feeling proud of all your hard work but will also increase the property value when trying to sell. Whether it be installing glass walls, upgrading your shower, or adding a patio or sunroom, your home will look lavish.
