3 Home Additions To Consider Building in 2021

Home additions are large projects to take on for your home. After all, you are adding in brand new space. This kind of project takes time to plan, but once you plan it all out, you'll be excited about the refreshing change.

There are a lot of options when it comes to this kind of project, though. How do you narrow down the list? Choosing an addition may not be that hard when you think about the practicality and value of the project. If you want to build a home addition in 2021, here are some additions to consider.

An In-Law Suite

Do you have parents or in-laws that will be living with you? If so, a home addition to consider building is an in-law suite. An in-law suite is a space where your in-laws or parents can live in your home. These suites often include a bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and dining room. However, you can make it as luxurious as you'd like and add the features you see fit.

The United States had more than 4.6 million multi-generational households in 2018, which means a lot of people put additions onto their homes to make room for their loved ones. You could put this addition above your garage or renovate the attic to create an all-inclusive and comfortable space. Your parents and in-laws have done a lot for you over the years, so why not thank them by providing a beautiful space they can call their own?

A Master Bathroom

You've worked hard for your home. Shouldn't you get a little something to enjoy for yourself? A great home addition to consider if you want to treat yourself is a master bathroom attached to your bedroom. Instead of having to share a bathroom with the family, you can finally have your own bathroom space.

You could choose to invest in features like double sinks, an open shower, and a whirlpool bathtub. These features will make your bathroom look upscale while still providing practical functions. Plus, if you decide to sell your home, you could frame your master bedroom as a master suite if you have a bathroom attached. That could increase your home's value. You can also look into master suite remodeling if you want to redo the master bedroom so it matches the master bathroom.

A Finished Basement

Need more space for entertainment? A finished basement will do the trick. Having a finished basement means the basement looks just like the upper levels of your home complete with an electric system, new flooring or carpet, finished walls, and furniture. This creates a space where you can entertain guests in the form of a living room, a game room, or a mini-bar.

No matter what you choose to do with your finished basement, make sure your home addition design matches the rest of your home. The last thing you want is for your new space to look like it doesn't belong in your house. Talk to a home remodeling contractor about how you can incorporate designs from the rest of your home into your new home addition to create a unified look.

A new home addition is a bigger project that has a lot of benefits for your home. It adds more space, helps your home function better, and it can increase your home's value. As you look ahead to 2021, do yourself a favor and treat your home to some new, luxurious space.
