Consider how you will use your space by deciding the type of addition you want. Will it be a kitchen, garage, sunroom, or laundry room? The answer will depend on how much space you need and how much you want to spend. You can build a home addition in the backyard or on the side of the house. If space is limited, consider a home addition on top of an existing structure to add square footage. If it's a significant project, consider talking to your neighbors. Once you've decided on the home addition type you want, it's time to start looking at designs until you find one that suits your needs and style. Take note of how each plan would affect the light flow throughout your home. Consider the cost of materials and finishing touches for your project before making any decisions about size and style.
