By Odessa Edwards


A home can be remodeled for various reasons. One of these is creating extra space or just the illusion that there is extra space even though the room remains the same. With most people working under a tight budget, creating the illusion of more space is a more viable idea. If this is the goal during home remodeling Maryland homeowners need to learn a few tips that will help them achieve this goal.

For those with kitchens large enough for them to have lunch or dinner, their dining rooms will only be useful for special occasions. This means your will have space that is not utilized unless there is an occasion. You can change this by making it an office or homework room without changing its dinner holding capabilities. This can be done easily by simply adding shelves, doors and cabinets for supplies. Tabletops should be fitted with pads to protect them

Many homes have a guest room. Instead of leaving this space underutilized until an out of town guest comes knocking, you should put it to use for other everyday activities. You will need a pullout couch or air mattress so that you can eliminate the extra bed. You could then add other furniture to suit other everyday uses.

If you want to make a room feel less claustrophobic, you could open up the floor plan. To do this without using a lot of money, start by removing the doors from the rooms. You can also remove the interior walls. However, make sure you only remove those that do not hold any pipes and are not part of the structure support.

Bump outs can also be a great idea to create some more space on the sides of your house. However, these will be constrained to around three feet from the exterior wall. However, you can be able to run them for the entire house length creating enough space for an eating area if they are next to the kitchen. If they are next to the bedroom suite, they can create enough closet space.

If you have closets in an area where you need extra space, you can replace them with built-ins. The built-ins are mostly shelves, which can accommodate the same number of items without affecting the size of the room. It will also be possible to do this without incurring too much cost.

Most washers are stationed downstairs. However, it is possible to have them upstairs freeing the room downstairs for other uses. One will also eliminate the inconvenience of moving up and down the stairs carrying laundry every day. This is possible because today's washers and dryers are designed in a way that allows stacking. This allows them to be fitted within a very small area.

Having all the highlighted information in mind when considering home remodeling Maryland homeowners will take steps to improve space usage. It will also be feasible to create an impression of extra space even when such extra space is not there. The most important point though is that the process could be carried out on a low budget.
