Sometimes, all an old home needs is a good spruce to feel brand-new again. With a home renovation, you can transform your space and make your house feel larger and more open than it used to. Experienced contractors like those at R & R Construction & Roofing in Tallassee, AL. Their team will help you figure out what kind of home improvements would do the most for increasing the space in your home.

Use the Space You Already Have

Most homes have at least some “dead space,” or a place in the home that’s unfinished or unusable because of the way everything is laid out. However, you can really open up a room just by redecorating, tearing out a wall, or other changes that help you use all the space that’s already there.

By the same logic, you can also add space just by finishing up a basement or attic that’s been sitting around in a state of disrepair since you moved in. A renovated attic or basement can make a great spare room, office, or rec room that suddenly makes your house feel larger than it used to.

Convert Underutilized Areas

That weird cut out under the stairs might not be big enough to be a new room, but it can certainly become a set of shelves or an extra pantry. This new storage space can then free up space from other parts of your room. Get rid of the clunky bookcase or the cluttered cabinet so you can open up your living room or hall.

Similarly, you can rethink your furnishing by choosing multipurpose pieces. For example, ditch the entertainment center and mount the TV on the wall. Then use a coffee table that comes with drawers and shelves to store movies, remotes, and other TV room staples.
