When you bought your first property, it was likely that you thought at that time that it would be good enough for the next five years, and you were already aware that it wouldn’t be big enough if you decided to have a growing family. You may not have considered the family option at all, and now you find yourself in a situation where the property is too small for your needs, and now you have the difficult option of thinking of moving somewhere else. This is not an idea that many of us would want to consider because we chose the area that we live in for particular reasons like it was close to our place of work, it provided excellent schools, and there were many great stores surrounding us.
A garage storage lift is a device used to raise and lower items for storage in a garage. It typically consists of a platform or rack system that can hold various items such as bicycles, boxes, or even cars. The lift is operated by a motor or pulley system, allowing users to easily store and retrieve items without the need for heavy lifting or awkward storage solutions. Garage storage lifts are ideal for maximizing storage space in a garage and keeping items organized and easily accessible.
Rather than relocating, you could think about a second storey extension that will provide you with the extra room that you need in your current property. It makes perfect sense that you would want to go up rather than go out, and you already have the space to do such a thing. All you need to do now is to talk to the right provider that can build such an extension for you, and then you and your family can start to enjoy this newfound freedom that you will have. This is just one suggestion when it comes to creating more space within your property, and the following are some more.
– Convert the attic space – Right above your head at this very moment, there is space going to waste, and all you’re keeping up there are some old clothes and maybe some kid’s toys that they have played with for many years. It seems a real shame because the space above you could be converted into one large bedroom or two smaller bedrooms, and all you need to do would be to install a skylight, use your interior design skills, and then that will allow enough light to come into the room. As a parent, it’s very likely that the kids are going to be fighting over who gets this new bedroom.
– Convert the garage – Before you start complaining, remember that you haven’t parked the car in the garage in many years, and if anything, it has been converted into the laundrette, or you keep the washing machine, and it has become a storeroom as well for junk that you’re never going to use again. This could be quite easily converted into a granny flat that will keep at least one of your teenagers happy because now they would have their own room and a little bit of independence. It won’t break the bank to create such a room, and it will increase the value of your house considerably.
These are only two additional ideas to create more room around your property, and if you were just to open your mind a little, I am sure you could come up with a few more. If you have a basement, then this is another opportunity to create an additional room, and you might also want to consider extending out as well as up.
