Expanding your ment rooms provide a unique hideaway from the main activity centres of your home. If your basement is al- ready finished and you still require more room, you may want to consider renovating your attic. De- pending on their size, at- tics can also provide extra space for a busy, growing household. When fitted with skylights and dorm- ers, they need not feel small and confining.

Obviously, you won't want to have to go through a bedroom or clos- et to get to this extra liv- ing space. Also keep fire safety in mind when plan- ning attic conversions, or any home improvement projects. Before you embark on any particular plan, it's a good idea to consult with the appropriate experts to see what types of options are available to you. If lack of storage space seems to be the main prob- lem in your home, and you're faced with a restric- tive budget, you may de- cide to merely convert your attic into a more ac- cessible and efficient stor- age area, instead of an elaborate family room or guest suite.

No agents please. a living space If you have a garage that is attached to part of your home, you may want to consider turning this space into extra living space. Garages are gener- ally roomy enough' to create an extra room or two -- or even an accessory apartment. Again, it's im- perative to check local building code restrictions before you start planning, to make sure this type of conversion is allowed. Then get several quotes from contractors to make sure your plans are within your budget. If major renovations .aren't within your budget limitations, consider visu- ally expanding your living quarters, by adding sky- lights, or extra windows. Often, the removal of a wall can do wonders to open up a room and create a "roomier" atmosphere. Remember that no mat- ter what route you take, it's important to make the space you do have work for you. If you have a lot of nooks and crannies, for in- stance, consider installing built-in storage units. You'd be surprised at how much space can be freed up by an organized stor- age system.
