Almost 4 million people call Los Angeles home, making it the second most populous county in the United States. LA is a highly sought-after destination for so many types of people, including families looking for a place to spread out and grow under the Southern California sun. If you’re about to welcome a new addition to your family, this blog post all about home additions is perfect for you!
More Space For Snoozin’
If you’ve got another family member on the way, then a bedroom is likely one of the most practical additions for your home. It can start as a nursery and grow with your child into a full-fledged bedroom that continues to meet their needs as they age. Consider adding built-in storage systems and large windows so the new bedroom is a place your child will like to hang out in.
As a bonus, building up instead of out helps you preserve your coveted yard space and circumvent Los Angeles zoning restrictions that pertain to first-story additions.
Make Bathtime The Best Time
With a growing family, you’ll never regret adding an extra bathroom. Even a half-bath can make a huge difference when you’re trying to get everybody ready and out the door on time.
Incorporating a bathtub into your bathroom is a great idea when you have small children. This addition to your home will make bathtime easier, more convenient, and not to mention a lot more fun for you and your child.
Adding a bathroom upstairs can make bedtime routines less stressful, especially if you do it as an ensuite to an existing bedroom. On the other hand, a downstairs bathroom addition requires less disruption during the construction process, plus it’ll be easy to access if guests (like grandparents!) come over to help out in those early years.
No matter where you build your new bathroom, you’ll have to make sure your plumbing is in order. Adding a bathroom near pre-existing pipes can make construction more feasible and keep costs down.
Keep Mess In Its Place
You’ll be surprised at how many shoes those tiny feet require! Adding a mudroom to your home is an excellent way to increase storage space and help you keep the rest of your home clean. Imagine coming home from a beach day with your kids and having a dedicated room to catch all the sand and dirt so it doesn’t track throughout the rest of the house. Mudrooms are a sensible, space-saving addition for growing families in Los Angeles.
