Childhood toys, Christmas decorations, old photos and records, long-forgotten clothing, broken heirlooms — attic spaces tend to become repositories for items no longer used but cherished nonetheless for the memories they hold. Why not weed through that pile, salvaging what is most treasured and removing the rest? The reward will be the opportunity to turn your unfinished attic into your paradise at home. Moreover, the benefits of an attic remodel make it well worth your while:
- Increased living space
- A great 77.2 percent return on investment at resale in Southern Wake County
- Potential tax advantages, depending on your chosen renovation
With all this in mind, the only question is what type of paradise to create.
Home Office
Among the popular choices for attic finishing, a home office provides a dedicated space for those who work from home as well as those who simply need an area for completing office matters at home. Comfortably outfitted, your home office may contain a desk, file cabinet, bookshelves and any other needed furnishings in a quiet setting distanced from the rest of the home. The bonus is that it may be tax deductible as well.
Guest Room
Offering a cozy and private enclave for guests, remodeling your attic as a guest room is an attractive option. It easily accommodates all the furniture a guest would need — a bed, armoire, side table, and upholstered chair. What’s more, the addition of a closet makes the guest room a true bedroom, increasing the value of your home.
Movie Room
The traditional lack of light in an attic creates the ideal setting for a movie room. Plush leather seating, a large screen and a counter to serve as a concession stand make for an inviting movie space that family and guests alike will enjoy.
Only a few among myriad ideas for turning your unfinished attic into your paradise at home, these ideas can inspire your attic remodel. Just be sure your contractor properly insulates your attic and installs heating and air vents. Together, these elements ensure optimum climate control while saving on your electric bills as well, details as essential as the beauty of the overall design.
