These past few years have been an uphill battle of uncertainty. Some of us slowly returned to an office, which we inhabited only part-time. Others adapted to new, fully remote work schedules. We tested the waters of in-person hangouts, parties, and vacations. Ultimately, we still spent a lot of time at home. So, what will 2022 bring when it comes to home renovation? It’s difficult to say, but we have a hunch that we’ll all be seeing a lot more of these Colorado home additions and renovations this year!
Pop Top Renovations
While pop top additions require a lot of investment and commitment, they are also a great way to increase living space (and up your home’s resale value!). Now, it’s a relatively new term, so let us explain: a pop top house remodel involves ‘popping’ the roof of your house and creating a full second story. Talk about extra space!
A pop top house remodel is a great way to add space to your home without expanding outwards. In addition, you don’t always have to do a full second story. Partial pop top renovations are also a popular choice.
Here’s a before and after example done by Castle Builds:
Add a Kitchen Island
Colorado home additions always keep Denver contractors very busy and the kitchen island has been rising in popularity for years. Denver home contractors and other remodeling professionals have come up with ways to tastefully fit an island in many kitchen layouts—large or small. The great thing about kitchen islands of all shapes and sizes is that they provide more counterspace for cooking and can simultaneously create additional seating opportunities (with barstools).
Spa-Like Bathroom Renovations
Especially since we’ve all been spending more time at home over the last few years, it can be difficult to carve out some time for privacy. Privacy seekers who live in crowded or smaller homes may look to increase their bathroom space to make room for “me” time.
We think it’s probable that we’ll be seeing both luxurious and practical changes–such as built-in storage units in bathroom cabinets, better bathroom lighting, deep vessel sinks, and higher ceilings.
Outdoor Spaces
There’s no doubt about it, we’ve spent a lot of time indoors over the last few years. We are confident that many homeowners will devote their time and resources towards cultivating attractive, spacious, and entertaining outdoor spaces. Colorado home additions like patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens allow people to host and mingle with friends and family in an open-air setting.
Basement Renovations
We’re definitely going to be seeing a lot more basement renovations in 2022. Basement renovations are a popular choice for homeowners because of the sheer versatility of it all! If you’re working from home more-often-than-not, perhaps a basement renovation would be the perfect mechanism to create a cozy home office. Or, on the other hand, if you’re planning on having guests and loved ones over, a guest room may be a perfect use of a basement conversion.
