5 Out-Of-The-Box Remodelling Ideas

You’d love a home office or your own dressing room, but the reality is that you don’t have any spare rooms, you can’t afford to extend your existing property, and you don’t want to move. 

Rather than dream about the day when you can afford one of those fancy home extensions in Northern Beaches you may want to consider one of our out-of-the-box remodelling ideas. So before you pay out thousands of dollars for house extensions, Sydney residents should take a look at our suggestions.

Hide a Secret Room with Movable Bookshelves

Who hasn’t dreamt of having a secret room where you can shut yourself away from the rest of the family? Why not divide up a large room by installing a set of movable bookshelves? 

These can either be freestanding shelves on lockable wheels which you can move around to suit your mood or shelves which run on a floor or ceiling-based track system. 

Convert a Cupboard or Wardrobe

If you’re lucky enough to have a spare closet, you can create a mini-room that can be used in a multitude of ways. Whether you want to install a craft area or sewing space, a compact home office, a hideout for your kids, a convenient homework nook or even a hideaway massage centre is up to you.
Use your imagination and that ‘slither of space’ could become one of your favourite places in the house. 

Install Glass Walls or Doors 

When it comes to home extensions, Sydney contractors report that many homeowners want to create seamless transitions between their internal and external spaces. 

By adding floor-to-ceiling glass doors or walls which can be fully opened, you can blur the barrier between outdoors and indoors and create a larger area for entertaining. Install a sun canopy outside, and you really will feel as though you’ve extended your indoor space.

Install a Fold Up Bed

Installing a fold-up bed into a little-used room can give you a world of possibilities. Whether you want an occasional guest room that doubles as a home office or you want to create a more usable social space for your teenager, having a fold up bed gives you a wealth of options. 

You can buy freestanding fold up beds that resemble a cupboard when closed or you can ask a local contractor to build and install a customised piece of furniture. 

Add an Element of Fun

If you have extra space in your home add a fun element with a slide!  An indoor slide can provide entertainment for your kids and makes coming downstairs so much more fun. Install a narrow version next to your stairs or a spiral slide from a kid’s room to the family room! 

It may not be one of the things that specialist’s in house extensions in Northern Beaches are usually asked for – but it will be the extension they will always remember.
