Some Ideas to Consider …

  • Add Layers of Interest to a Large Space With Clever “Mini Rooms”

    One of the hottest trends in home remodeling is creating mini-rooms within larger spaces. There are a variety of reasons for wanting to add a mini-room including privacy, visual interest, and an innovative use of space. If you are interested in a mini-room consider adding it to your:

      • Playroom – Playrooms are all about whimsy and fun and a great way to elevate this space is to add a mini-room. You can even construct a mini-room space that doubles as a playhouse or a private escape for your children.
      • Master bedroom – Adding a mini-room to the master bedroom is an excellent way to create a dedicated sitting room. Consider stopping the walls short of the larger room’s ceiling to keep the space feeling open and airy.
    • Bonus room – Many homeowners value a large bonus room that can serve multiple purposes. You can add a mini-room to a bonus or rec room to divide the space and add extra function. Consider glass french doors and windows for added light in the mini-room.
