We all crave more space. And we’re not just talking about the space that denotes freedom to do something but that extra space that creates more room in our home. Especially, if it means having to make a third room in an apartment.
So, how do you go about introducing another room in a 2 BHK? Just let your imagination wild and explore our ideas to remodel your existing home.
Choose the spot
One of the first things you must do before you embark on the remodeling is, decide on which part of the apartment you want to introduce the extra space. In order to do this, you must together evaluate what you would want to use the room for.
For instance, if it is meant to be a compact home office where you’d want to work, you will then need to choose the quietest spot in the house. This works two ways – one, where you will need some quiet place to work in peace, or inevitably take official phone calls, get on conference video calls with colleagues and clients, and so on. And two, you’d not want to disturb the rest of the family, especially if you have elders and small children, living in the house. Best of all, no video bombing by anyone when you’re on Zoom or Google Meet!
So, check which area of the house has the least noise and traffic of movement.
Size it up
Next, measure the size of each room. We suggest this because you need to then use the biggest room in the house to convert it into an extra room. Why doing this is wise is because when you fill-up the house with furniture and artifacts, even the biggest room can look small. Knowing which room is bigger by sq ft can give you the option of even moving the furniture to another room.
Now that you’ve done the preliminary work, here are some great ideas to design the space you want.
Enclose the balcony
Almost all homeowners zero in on the balcony to convert into an extra room. And if your house is gifted with two balconies or more – as in the homes crafted by HM Constructions https://www.hmconstructions.com/ – it can actually work out as the best option.
All you have to do is add glass window extensions to the railing – from the railing up to the ceiling above it. It is a cost-effective way of adding the new room without using concrete. Moreover, you still have that enchanting view of the outdoors when you draw the curtains. Don’t forget to create a window space in the glass extension wall for ventilation, especially if you’ll keep the balcony door shut.
You must remember that having a balcony is indeed a blessing in these times when you need abundant ventilation. All of the elegant and luxurious apartments designed and constructed with care by HM Constructions have balconies to bring Nature into each home. So, whether it’s HM Tropical Tree http://www.hmconstructions.com/projects/details/hm-tropical-tree, HM Grandeur http://www.hmconstructions.com/projects/details/hm-grandeur, HM Cambridge Square, HM Astoria, HM Gladiolus, HM Concord Tower on Sarjapur Road, or HM Indigo http://www.hmconstructions.com/projects/details/hm-indigo on Kanakapura Road, you can be assured of at least 2 wholesome balconies if not 3!
Add a faux wall
Explore the option of a partition panel or separator to divide a large bedroom or the living room. There are a host of decorative room partitions that are fashionable and foldable too. These are made of particleboard or even wood and come in great colors to match the existing wall colors of the room.
Another wonderful space creator is the sliding wall or partition. It’s not only easy to install but you can also slide the panels close together one behind the other, to open out the room.
However, if you are indeed looking for that third room without compromising on its primary use, then a sound-proof partition wall is the best option. All you have to do is measure the ceiling to floor length to install it in the middle of the room and allow the other three walls to remain as they are. One of the panels can have hinges for the door. Of course, it’s cost-effective too because you get two rooms in one!
There are a hundred different ways you can create that third room in your home. All you have to do is understand its primary use, know the exact layout of your home and decide which materials and designs will work in the house without tampering with the beauty of your home.
