All the things that make up your home are a reflection of you and your family; from the style of your master bedroom suite and the layout of your living room to the recent addition of that new Jacuzzi bathtub. Every space of your home speaks to your own individual sense of style and taste but for many homeowners like yourself, there is an area of your home that you along with many others usually take for granted or just totally overlook; the attic.
You may not think of your attic as a functional space that can be turned into any room your heart desires but there's a lot more you can do with that space by working with a general contractor. Look past the musty insulation, the dusty corners and the dimly-lit rafters for an unlimited number of possibilities. If you're not sure what to do with the space but you know you're ready to move forward with using the attic to maximize your square footage then talk to some general contractors for design ideas.
The greatest benefit to working with general contractors to transform your attic space is that you have a wide open environment free of framing (in most cases) to go in whatever direction suits you best. Whether you want a loft bedroom, a private home office space, a game room or a play area for your children you can fit it all in within your attic.
A home office is an extremely attractive option because so many Americans are taking up working from home or opening their own business. The office space in the attic is ideal because the amount of noise and interruption is greatly reduced. Likewise, with the right decoration and furniture your home office can always double as an extra guest bedroom for entertaining company and family.
If you find that you or one of your children have outgrown a bedroom, why not take your things up one more flight of stairs and have all of the room that you could possibly want or need. Turn that unused attic space into the ultimate bedroom loft. Add a picture window and some skylight windows to bring in natural lighting for a more cozy living space.
If your attic is large enough you can convert it into a separate play area for the kids, with a large screen television to play their favorite video games, and maybe add a game table if the space allows for it. This space could allow for a small snack or wet bar area with a small refrigerator along with a small eating counter and some chairs.
Any of these suggestions are going to perform at least two services for you; the first being that any of these projects will add value to your home - something that every homeowner wants. The second is that you've gained more living space by working with general contractors to leverage your existing structure over adding on with a major addition. With both - you're saving money and as a homeowner that always feels great.
