Personalize Your Home with a Micro-Renovation

Homeowners are often encouraged to remodel with resell value in mind, but what if you’re not interested in selling your home? With today’s interest rates and housing prices as uncertain as ever, many homeowners are choosing to stay put. While large renovations like kitchens and bathrooms are always a great way to optimize and update your home, often it's the smaller-scale remodels that get the most usage. Let’s explore some creative ways that clients are getting the most out of their “micro-renos”.

What Are Micro-Renos?

Micro-renos aren’t just small remodels, they allow families to use their spaces exactly how they want to through custom design. For our clients that can mean anything from custom built-ins to finishing attic spaces, or even creating space by closing in vaulted ceilings.

Ideas for Micro-Renos

Custom Built-Ins:

Whether you're an avid collector, or just need to hide away the kids’ stuff; built-ins can be designed to fit any space for any function.

Utilize Unused Attic Space:

Unfinished attic space isn’t just for storage, it can be converted to fit any number of uses. Our clients converted their attic space into a laundry room, but the options are endless. Craft rooms, home gyms, office, playrooms- you name it!

Frame-in Vaulted Ceilings

Soaring ceilings will always be “in”, but we are seeing a number of clients who are choosing to frame-in their vaulted ceilings to increase their upstairs’ usable space. Creating a room literally “out of thin air” has its challenges, and may not be possible in every home, but it’s a great option for families looking to expand their usable space without having to move.
