Bedroom Additions That Add Enjoyment and Value
Building an addition to your home can both enhance your family's enjoyment of your existing living space and also increase the resale value of your property. When it comes to bedrooms, however, incorporating an addition doesn't mean adding an extra room to your house although it can. While adding a guest bedroom is certainly a great idea, extending the master bedroom you already have by taking the time to upgrade it into a luxurious master suite can make a tremendous difference. According to Paul DeFeis, senior managing partner of Trade Mark Design & Build in Hawthorne, New Jersey, a bedroom addition is almost always a good idea. A multi-talented designer, he is responsible for managing day-to-day activities including development, design, operation, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm's products and services.
There are two types of bedroom additions, he says: those that are necessary, such as extra storage, and those that just add a certain level of comfort or style to the room. Adding style is often what it's all about these days, with the concept of a "master suite" quickly gaining in popularity. Everyone knows that the humble bedroom is not just a place to lay your weary head anymore. These days, the goal is often to turn a master bedroom into a soothing sanctuary. How can this be accomplished? First, add a sitting area to the sleeping area with custom-made bookcases and clever built-in storage that will rid the room of any possible chance of clutter. Next, include a beautiful stone or wood fireplace, with matching hearth and made-to-measure mantelpiece. A dressing room is next sometimes as big as the original bedroom, while sometimes his and her bedrooms are necessary. The bedrooms will have integral built-in storage as well. French doors and a balcony off the bedroom are an added touch, and the bathroom should be top-of-the-line, with whirlpool tub, his and her showers and sinks, and perhaps even heated towel bars. It has been estimated that homeowners who build master bedroom suites will recoup at least 65 percent of their costs when they sell.
