New Year, New Extension

 

The new year is often a time for reflection. Many of us may choose to give something up or make a change for the better (and all with the best intentions of keeping those resolutions!).

If the new year has brought new thoughts about how house extensions could improve your Sydney home, Your Style is here for you.  

Increase the size of your living space

Perhaps having friends and family over for the festive season has made you realise that your living space could do with being bigger? Not only will this help when you’re entertaining, but it gives you more space for daily living.

Perhaps you want to embrace the popular open plan living layout. Open plan living gives you flexible space and means that you can always be at the centre of the action.

With building extensions in Sydney, you can create that dream space and add to the square footage of your home. This may also increase the value of your home, so if or when you come to sell, you can make more money and have greater options for where you would like to move.

Create space for your guests

If you had people staying, you may have felt like you were living on top of one another. A lack of bedroom space is a common problem across many households, but with home extensions across Sydney, you can create a beautiful guest bedroom or enough room for the members of your family to have their own space.

Build an annexe

It may be that having your family close by during the festive season means that you would like to make this a more permanent fixture. If you have elderly parents or parents who may soon rely on you to live closer to them, a granny annexe is an ideal way to create space in your home and have peace of mind knowing they are close by. Should they need anything, you are just a few steps away, ready to help.

In the meantime, a granny annexe or similar can be used as a teenage den or home office, so you can give your teens their much-needed space or get away from all the noise!

Steps to Prepare for a House Extension

One of the greatest gifts you can give your family in life is a beautiful home. Having a place to call your own, where your family can thrive and grow, is very special and can make a big difference in the quality of your lives. Instead of having to face the uncertainty of renting and all too frequent rent price hikes, you’ll be secure knowing that the place you and your spouse and children live is your home for years to come. Another great thing about owning your own home is that you can make any changes that you want to the house or property. Families often find that they need to create more living space, and start looking for the best option for expansion. One of the ways you can dramatically increase your space and the functionality and beauty of the home is with a first floor addition. If you are considering this option, there are several things you’ll want to do to prepare. Map Out Your Design Ideas and Budget It’s fun to dream of what you would do with all the extra space ...

Why It Always Pays to Hire Professionals

As a homeowner, you get a chance to step into the world of possibilities, and imagine how you can transform your existing dwelling into your dream home. Unlike when you were a renter, you get to make changes to your house and property and reshape it to meet your family’s needs. Instead of simply accepting that the way it is the way it has to be, you get to picture the improvements and upgrades you would love to make. A lot of homeowners have substantial experience taking on do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. This is a great way to save money on simpler upgrades and changes in a home. Over time, you also build your skills so you can tackle ever more complex projects. There are certain times, though, where you are far better hiring professionals for major remodels and work that you need to have done. With professionals, you’ll actually save time and save money too as the job is done quickly and right. Expanding Your Home By Adding a First Floor Addition If you have been dreaming big ...

How to Make Room for Your Growing Family

When you are a parent, one of your biggest responsibilities in life is to provide a wonderful house and environment for raising your children. Having a special place for your family to call home is a deep desire, and a lot of time and effort goes into finding just the right dwelling in the perfect neighbourhood. Potential home buyers carefully research and find the best places to live, make sure that the area schools are first rate and do everything they can to give their kids a great start in life. After you’ve purchased your special house, it’s time to transform it into your home. A lot of care goes into choosing the perfect decor, buying beautiful furniture and sprucing up the yard and planting flowers. As the years go by, one of the things you discover is that the house seems to get smaller as your family grows. Babies and toddlers become more fully grown kids, and suddenly you discover that interior space is at a premium. When that happens, you’ll have to make some changes and...
