House Remodeling Ideas for Families

Are you preparing for your next child? Maybe you’ve got a couple already, but baby numero tres is fast approaching.

What an exciting time! It’s also stressful, but any worry will soon be replaced with joy and love when your next child arrives.

But what if your home isn’t quite ready for its next little addition? Not to fear, because, in this helpful article, we’re going to share a renovator’s guide to preparing your home for a growing family.

We’ll be sharing several renovation hacks that you can apply to most homes.

Ready? Let’s get into it.

Is your family growing? Here are some home remodeling options that can make the most of your existing space! Click To Tweet

One of the Best Small Home Renovation Ideas is to Add Additional Power Sockets



First off, you’re going to want to arrange for some extra power socket installation in your home. There are a few reasons for this. 

One, you can never have too many power sockets. With your devices, your partner’s devices, and your older kids’ devices, everyone is going to need a charging station. Extra power sockets will be handy here.

Alongside this, as your children grow older and their personal needs change, they’ll be likely to need extra power sockets in their rooms. It’s common for older kids to add a TV, a computer, or maybe even both to their rooms as they progress through high school. Additional power sockets will save the day here when that day inevitably comes.

Use a House Remodeling App to Convert Your Garage DIY Style


Did you know that garages are some of the most underutilized spaces in most homes?

Imagine having all that space for just a car or two and maybe some shelving and tool storage. For most families, this is precisely what their garage develops into as the years go by.

You can get ahead of this eventual mess by converting your garage into a rumpus or multi-purpose room. With a DIY approach with an app or some help from a professional, you can remove the roller doors and install stud walls for easy and attractive storage.

You should also consider installing a door frame and a door with a lock for external access from either the front or the back of your garage space.

Next, some insulation will help keep the room cool in summer and warm in winter. You may need to do some plastering and painting following the installation of your insulation.

Once you’re finished, however, you’ll have a huge room that can become the family rumpus, the playroom, or even a study or studio for the older kids when they’re nearing the end of high school.

The cost of this compared to renovating or adding extensions to the home is truly minuscule, and you get the same benefits.

It’s worth mentioning, however, that for some families and some home environments, a home extension may be the right choice. This is precisely the basis of our next tip.

You'll Need a House Remodeling Contractor to Extend Your Home, But it's Worth it


If you live on a large enough block of land, you may be able to extend your home to the back or the side, or potentially even up by adding a second floor too!

Keep in mind, however, that building wider will reduce your outdoor space. However, if you’ve got a growing family to cater to, this might be the way to go.

An extension can net you a few extra rooms, such as an additional bedroom and bathroom, and perhaps even a larger living space if you plan your extension well.

This might just be the ticket if your family has outgrown your home or is rapidly on the way to outgrowing your home. 

That said, this option is by far the most expensive one suggested in this article. A complete home extension can cost tens of thousands of dollars, as there is a lot of work involved.

Be sure to consult with your family well before making any concrete plans for extending your home.

Summing Up


In this handy article, we’ve shared a few renovation hacks to prepare your home for a growing family.

Start with installing some extra power sockets before moving on to converting your garage into another functional room of your house.

Finally, if the first two hacks aren’t cutting it, you can go on to consider a full extension or renovation. 

And then, after all is said and done, you get to sit back and enjoy your new home, safe in the knowledge that it can serve the needs of your expanding clan.
