How to gain space without expanding your house?
We tend to think that expanding our home is the only way to gain space. However, there are smart design reorganizations and renovations that allow us to optimize every corner of our living space, without having to expand the walls.
These modifications have undeniable advantages:
You gain space and take full advantage of everything your home has to offer.
They are much less expensive than an addition and require less planning.
You improve your comfort and well-being at home.
Your home becomes more functional and adapted to your new needs.
In Montreal, we know that regulations can make an addition complicated. That’s why making a few smart home renovations is a more affordable solution for gaining space. We invite you to discover renovation ideas that will optimize your living spaces.
Built-in furniture: a well-thought-out space generator
What if we could add functionality to every nook and cranny of our home, even those that are usually neglected? Built-in furniture optimizes every space in the house and increases its functionality. In addition to being practical, built-in furniture is custom-designed to perfectly adapt to the height, width, and angles of the space. This allows us to use the entire space of a closet, for example, without wasting a single square foot.
Built-in furniture can be included in multiple areas of the home: the space under the stairs, kitchen and bathroom storage, wardrobes, etc.
Well-designed, built-in furniture offers an optimal solution for practical and aesthetic space savings. A small space is transformed into a more spacious and better-utilized room.
Make the most of every nook and cranny of the house
We all have these little unused corners in our homes. What if we gave them a purpose? Built-in furniture is the perfect solution for optimizing any space and increasing its functionality.
In addition to being practical, this furniture is custom-designed to perfectly fit the height, width, and angles of your home. This allows you to utilize every square inch of a closet, for example, without wasting a single square foot.
Built-in furniture can be installed anywhere: the space under the stairs, kitchen and bathroom storage, wardrobes, etc. When well thought out, it offers both practical and aesthetic space savings. A small space can be transformed into a more spacious and better-utilized room.
Bathroom and basement: renovations to expand
Renovating to Expand Your Home
We tend to think it’s impossible to enlarge a bathroom, especially in Montreal homes. But there’s a clever trick to save space: you can reduce the closet space in an adjacent bedroom and integrate it into the bathroom. To compensate, optimize the closet with built-in furniture to make it even more functional.
The Basement: Your Untapped Space
Why not explore what’s beneath our feet? We often underestimate the value of a basement, but a renovated basement can significantly increase the living space of your home. It can become a versatile room for relaxation, entertainment, or socializing. It can be transformed into:
an additional bedroom
a soundproofed home theater
a games room
Renovating a basement requires careful planning and professional help to comply with current standards. With a good team, the results will be astonishing.
The removal of load-bearing walls: growing conviviality
Open up the space for more light
A partitioned house can seem dark and uninviting. Fortunately, this can be changed without having to add an extension. By knocking down a load-bearing wall, you can gain space, create a more welcoming atmosphere, and gain more light all at once.
This way, you can create an open space between the kitchen and the dining room. This way, you can share pleasant moments with family or friends, even while cooking. The more open the living spaces, the greater the feeling of spaciousness.
As a bonus, you can create a patio door in the kitchen that opens onto the courtyard. This is a strategic renovation that increases the brightness of the room and offers a pleasant view of the outdoors.
In addition to being functional, aesthetically pleasing, and spacious, these renovations increase the value of the home.
