An Expert Guide to Creative Home Additions

Certain home design trends may come and go, but in our post-pandemic world, our need for extra or repurposed space has significantly increased. As more of us work from home or adopt hybrid schedules, the need for additional space has become an urgent priority for maintaining our sense of balance, comfort, and privacy.

Creative Ideas for Additional Spaces

Functions for additional spaces run the gamut from Rec rooms to home offices and mudrooms.

CQC Home’s collaborative design process, including comparative remodeling analysis and architectural design drafts, ensures you’re in complete control of your vision every step of the way. Some of the many purposes for additional spaces include:

Game/Rec Rooms

A designated space for playing video games, entertaining friends, or watching TV is a gift that keeps on giving for all family members. Popular design features to consider include bar/beverage areas and multi-tasking flex areas (built-in shelves/storage/murphy beds).

Garages/Detached Garages

Adding a garage to your home dramatically increases your storage, but depending on your preferences, your new garage space can also be designed to accommodate a future living space.

Design features to consider include whether you want a detached or attached garage, plumbing, HVAC, space for cars, single-story or two-story, etc.

Mud/Laundry Rooms

To help you design your dream mud/laundry room, our designers will carefully consider all your existing dimensions to determine the ideal location and maximize space. Ideal locations should be seamless in flow, setting the stage for a comfortable and modern living experience.

Design elements to consider include the function of the room, whether you want to include laundry, for example. The best mudrooms accommodate seating with ample storage (coat racks, hooks, shelves, drawers) and are finished with beautiful interior design elements.

Wine Cellars

The options are endless for wine aficionados looking for a sophisticated wine storage solution. Our design experts will design a temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cellar to your precise specifications.

Aesthetic features to consider include the material/type of the wine racks (wood cubbies, metal shelves, bins, etc.), the location/size of the space, and whether you need seating/space for wine tastings.

Home Offices

Adding square footage to your home with a designated office space and ample storage is a smart investment.

Our interior designers are well-versed in ergonomic design, which means your home office will accommodate all the features you need to keep your body and mind in balance at work, such as standing desks, ergonomic chairs/seating, optimal organization, and seamless technology integration. 

Home Gyms

Home gyms often function as multi-use spaces to accommodate guests or an office. We can help you design your ideal workout space, including equipment selection, flooring, lighting, and ventilation.  

Home Theaters

Home theater additions can be quite magnificent, depending on the level of design and quality of the materials.

Our talented team will guide you through every component of your home theater, helping you enjoy optimal acoustics and soundproofing, audiovisual equipment, seating arrangements, and lighting control.

Floor Reconfiguration

Whether you want an open-concept kitchen/living space or need to relocate a bathroom, bedroom, mudroom, or entrance, CQC Home can expertly reconfigure your floor design to optimize your space and enhance your home’s value.

Our designers and engineers will carefully consider your home’s structural needs while creating your ideal floor plan.
