If you’re building a home now or in the future, and have the option to change floorplans to your needs, then you have some unique and cool opportunities at your fingertips.
Trap Door Attic Access
Trap doors for your attic access are a great option if you have a tight space above your home that you can’t easily access with stairs. It’s a pretty old-fashioned style but has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its ease of installation and the fascinating style they create. That aside, this may also be something installed for nostalgic reasons, or to mimic a home in a movie you really like. Looking at you Griswolds.
Typically, your attic will have slanted walls that can be easily insulated and protected from the environment. Adding vertical drywall can also fix these walls so you can hang things more easily. That all depends on the kind of work you want to do and the size of your budget.
Hidden Rooms
Does a hidden room seem like something right out of a Scooby Doo show? We understand that perception, but hear us out. Modern hidden rooms can provide a great place to relax if you want to be alone or a panic room situation if someone invades your house.
You can install skylights into these rooms to add sunlight, naturally brightening them up. You could even make your secret room a den or bedroom where you can relax away from everyone else during family parties. The choices are endless, and we’d recommend this as a great investment.
Open Floor Plans
The open-floor concept has become very popular in many areas and is particularly common in comfort-based areas. This concept provides more room for a house and makes it easier for people to feel cozy and calm when living in a home, no matter the type.
For example, companies like Frontier Log Homes can build easily adaptable log cabins with adjustable floor plans that include open or tighter designs. It all depends on what style makes the most sense for you and what kind of budget you might have for your building project.
Sunrooms
Have you ever considered the many benefits a sunroom can provide you? These cool and attractive areas provide a fun and relaxing place to hang out and easy access to natural light that can make your home more appealing. They’re also perfect for a secondary living room.
