Spare Room Remodeling Idea #1: Home Movie Theater

If you have a spare room in your home and it doesn't already have a designated use, it's probably become your everything room -- a little bit of storage, perhaps a desk, and maybe a treadmill and some other items that won't fit anywhere else. Not the best use of the space.

Remodeling the space for a particular use helps you feel like you're getting more out of the room, and it can ultimately increase your home's value down the line. Today's Spare Room Remodeling Idea? A home movie theater.



Whether you opt for theater-style seating is up to you, but the basics of this setup usually include:

• A projector (hooked up to a computer or DVD/Blu-Ray player of some kind)
• Wall-mounted surround sound system
• A wide projection screen

You can obtain these items yourself and combine them to create a makeshift home movie theater, but it might not have the same feel as being in a real one. If you want to go all-out on bringing the full theater experience into your home, call the remodeling experts at Dean Johnson Remodeling.

More Attic Remodeling Possibilities

Still unsure about which way to go with your attic remodeling project? Here are some more ideas:

Master suite

Take your home improvement project to the next level by turning your attic into that master suite you always wanted. Depending on the size of the space, you should be able to increase sunlight and living space with the addition of attic dormers. This will help you wake up pleasantly and peacefully in a room much closer to the sky and sun.

Guest bedroom

Need a room for guests to stay? Your attic is a great area to put in a quaint guest bedroom, as it will gives your visitors their own space.

Art studio

Love to paint or draw? If you need more room to work, your attic can become your own personal art studio. Ideas and inspirations may come more quickly, as you will be closer to the sky and you will be away from everything besides your art. 

Attic Remodeling: Ideas to Remodel Your Top Floor

An attic is usually used as a space to store items, but it can become something more with the right attic remodeling project. With this type of renovation, you can turn your top floor into something more than just a storage space.

Chic bathroom

An attic makes for a great area to put a new bathroom. Skylights and the right paint scheme can make your elegant bathroom feel much larger. Adding in the perfect tile, tub and furniture can make your attic into something much more.

Swank home office

Paying close attention to your attic as you would any other room of the house will make your remodeling project that much better. One option is to turn the top floor into a comfortable, elegant home office. If you would like to work and get away from the noise, the attic is a great area to put in a work area.

A close getaway

Looking for a space to just relax in, to escape from the daily grind? Turn your attic into a retreat. Put in a big bed or a couch so you can just take a few moments to relax before resuming your normal routine.

Whatever you choose, make sure it's something you're happy with and can enjoy for a very long time. 

The Benefits of Room Additions

If your family is growing, so must your home. Sometimes, the home must increase when the family grows up, so that means adding to your home. Before you opt for room additions, you may want to ask yourself these questions:

“Do I really need a new room?”

“What will the costs be like?”

“Where should the new room be put?”

“When it the best time to add on to my home?”

If you're thinking of doing the work yourself, do you have the experience and patience to take on such a task? You could end up spending more than you would have if you hired a home remodeling company. Building a room is no easy feat, so you should tread carefully if going it alone.

Room additions are a great way to utilize your home's excess space. For more information about room additions, visit Minneapolis room additions contractor Dean Johnson Remodeling at www.DeanJohnsonRemodeling.com.

FAQ about Room Additions

The team at Dean Johnson Remodeling gets many questions about room additions, and here are the most common:

How long does it take to build a room addition?

Like with any home remodeling project, it’s dependent on the project’s size and scope, as well as materials used and amenities.

Is it a good investment to add on to my home?

It’s always a worthwhile cost to add on to your home. You will increase the resale value of your home, as well as create a space you didn’t have before.

How much does it cost for an add-on?

Again, this depends on the project’s size and scope, and overall intention.
