While there are many reasons to undertake a home renovation project, many homeowners do so with the desire of maximizing their available living space. Even something as simple as altering the kitchen design can improve your home’s feel and livability. Here are a few ways you can focus on space management in your project.

Top 3 Renovation Tips to Make Your Home Live Larger

1. Remove Unnecessary Walls

Many older homes have small dining rooms and living rooms separated by a wall. The kitchen is sometimes separated from other parts of the house as well. By removing unnecessary walls in your home renovation, you can create a larger, open space that feels more inviting and allows you to take advantage of more square footage. 

2. Install Larger Windows

Natural light is quite underrated in helping a home feel spacious and welcoming. A small window that lets in little light will cause a room to feel dark and cramped. Consider installing larger windows that fill the house with sunlight. Better still, modern windows tend to be more energy-efficient, which can help lower future utility expenses.

3. Convert Unfinished Basements or Garages

Rather than build an addition to the house, you can greatly expand your usable living area by converting a garage, unfinished basement, or even a covered carport into a finished room. Whether you wish to use the space as an office, living room, or even a guest bedroom, this will serve as a much more affordable and less time-consuming way of increasing your livable square footage.
