You can definitely add built-ins during your main floor renovations. In fact, adding built-ins is a wise choice that is growing in popularity because of the functionality it offers to homeowners. Renovations already involve opening up walls and altering the design of your space, so this is the perfect opportunity to add some extra storage.
Why It’s a Great Time to Add Built-Ins
- Better Space Planning: Since you are already going to be making new floor plans, you might as well plan for your built-ins as well, for accuracy.
- Maximize Unused Space: Your home renovation contractors will already be assessing the state of your home during renovations. This gives them the opportunity to identify any underutilized spaces where built-ins can be installed.
- Customizability: During a renovation, you have the most flexibility possible to customize your built-ins to be precisely the way you want. After renovations, you may have to work around your existing space, creating limitations.
Common Built-Ins Added During Main Floor Renovations:
- Mudroom Cubbies: These are great for storing shoes and outerwear, especially if you have children or a larger family.
- Living Room Media Units: A built-in media centre can help contain messy cables, DVDs and other electronics in your living room. Many homeowners will also include built-in shelving units on either side of the unit for added storage or decor.
- Window Benches: This is a popular built-in for those who want to maximize seating in their family room. It is both beautiful and functional.
