If you thought to yourself, “I think this house could use another room” while hosting your New Year’s celebration, then this post is for you. Room additions are great year round, but there’s something about starting the process of expanding your home at the start of the year that just feels right. Here are some of the most creative room additions for your Glendale home that you’re sure to love in 2025 and beyond. 

Build a Home Office on Top of the Garage

We’ve talked about turning garages into home offices, but in car-dependent Los Angeles, you probably need somewhere to store your ride. This strategy allows you to preserve your value parking place, craft a functional space to get work done, and add to the overall value of your property. Building a home office on top of your garage can be a pretty big (and expensive!) undertaking, but you can help keep costs down by choosing a simple layout for your home office to reduce the amount of structural changes needed to your garage to support the addition. 

Add a Second Kitchen

Is your New Year’s Resolution to cook more in 2025? Then that might be a sign that you need to add a second kitchen to your home. This sounds like a significant and dramatic room addition, but in reality a small galley kitchen is a practical way to add some extra cooking space to complement your full kitchen. You can get the most out of this tiny but mighty kitchen addition by choosing vertical storage units and using light colors to make the space feel bigger and brighter. 

Create a Multipurpose Utility Room

Need a place to do laundry, hold your workout gear, and store food? You can have it all with a multipurpose utility room. As the name implies, there’s a lot of things you can use this type of room addition for. No matter what you choose as its primary purpose, multipurpose rooms are great for helping you reduce clutter and keeping your home organized. You’ll never regret having more space to store your stuff, and you can maximize a multipurpose utility room’s storage space by adding benches and floating shelving units.
