Many couples buy a home before having kids and quickly find that they need more space. Home remodeling lets you create more places for the family to relax and hang out. Here are a few ideas to add more space without moving to a larger property. 

3 Remodeling Ideas for a Growing Family

1. Outdoor Living Space

A porch or deck in the backyard provides a place where friends and family can relax in the warm weather. Add a grill, a table, and patio chairs to make it comfortable for everyone. This remodeling project is ideal if you want to host a summer barbecue or a birthday party; it provides enough space to keep guests from feeling cramped indoors. Your kids can invite friends over and have a semiprivate space, or you and your spouse can enjoy quiet evenings dining al fresco. 

2. Kitchen

Install an island in the middle of the room for extra storage and counter space, and place a few stools around it for additional seating. You can also use the extra space for a breakfast nook where everyone can sit together in the morning. An expanded layout also encourages families to cook together without everyone getting in each other’s way. A larger kitchen will make meals a breeze! 

3. Finished Basement

An unfinished basement has plenty of potential. Your remodeling options for this area range from an extra family room to a quiet office space. Lay down carpet for a cozy feel and install recessed lighting to brighten up the area. Add a TV, a plush couch, and all your kids’ toys and games to make it a designated playroom, or add a pool table and a mini-bar for a secluded adult-friendly space.
