• Or use the space underneath for storage.

Do you need extra storage? You can always use under the stairs for that needed supplemental storage space. This can be accomplished by “under the step” accessibility or via a side closet or drawers.

 

• Make space for two dishwashers instead of one.

This remodeling idea is perfect for those with large families or that happen to host dinner parties quite often. This can be a two dishwasher setup on both sides of the kitchen sink or even side by side. Some may think that this is too much, while other say be thinking “That’s ingenious!” 

 

• Maximize your space with baseboard drawers.

In kitchen remodels we often hear about wanting more cupboard and drawer space. This idea uses the space efficiently while still providing a clean and cohesive look. 

 

• Consider a hidden room.

This idea is less about “adding on a hidden room” and more about making clever and fun ways to lead to or conceal rooms. The easiest way to accomplish this is with the old hidden room behind a bookcase idea. This pairs perfect with a den or home office remodel. 

 

• A walk-in shower means NO GLASS TO CLEAN.

A “walk-in style” shower may be the perfect answer to a new bathroom remodel. Not only would it deliver the luxurious look of a well designed and crafted custom shower, the added bonus would be no glass to clean. 

 

• A platform in a storage/guestroom hides away all of your stuff while keeping the room usable.

This clever idea entails building up a one or two foot platform in which drawers slide out from under and hinged panels that open to reveal hidden storage compartments. This platform would also be sturdy enough to walk around on and place a bed upon to complete the guest room. Looking for more efficient use of space in the guest bedroom? Considered a beautifully crafted Murphy Bed or Trundle style bed that hides away when not in use.

 

• Install a two-sided fireplace between the bathroom and the bedroom.

A two-sided fireplace in the master bedroom separating it from the bathroom is elegance at its pinnacle. Enjoy a relaxing bath with the atmosphere of a warm soothing fire. Then once finished with your relaxing bath, continue to enjoy the ambiance of the fireplace as you snuggle in your cozy bed.
