If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are not alone.  Today’s families prefer open living spaces that flow from one room to the next, allowing for meal preparation and socialization in one central area.   That's why family room additions are such a hot trend today.  A family room addition is the perfect solution to open up your home and provide an all-purpose space for all of your activities.

Here are some things to consider incorporating into your family room addition:

  • Position the new space adjacent to your kitchen to allow socialization and good flow
  • An informal dining area
  • A corner office space that can double has a homework station
  • Built in storage areas such as shelves or cabinets to house books, games, or family photos
  • Sturdy and easy to clean flooring to hold up to heavy traffic
