Geelong Home Extensions: Embracing 2024 Trends
As Geelong fills up, the only way is up (or out back). Many are swapping the inconvenience of moving for improving. The family, the TV, the visitors, the car – we just seem to gain all these functional things to live in our houses. Now the "home extension" industry has been created around all these add-ons.
Home extensions are no longer just a place to add an extra room or two, they’re a way to transform your homes, and therefore, your lives. If you're in Geelong, home extensions have become a perfect way for people to start creating the homes they want. More often than not, these homes are created simply through the comfort of adding a few extra square feet to their living space.
Home extensions are all about the bigger picture — in every context. Adding an extra bedroom, increasing kitchen size, or dedicating an entire room as a new office are just a few of the ways an extension to your home can feel like a major upgrade. The major shift in the quality of life today is often identified as the transition one experiences from living space to living place — the confirmation that you're living in a home that prioritizes your comfort levels and encourages easier functionality.
Home Extensions Trends for 2024
By 2024, much of design will focus on sustainable practices—eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood, recycled metals, and low-VOC paints will play a big part in what we put into our homes.
The open-space concept will continue to thrive. Often taking up the majority of a first floor, this design drives the flow of positive energy throughout the space, making connections to the each of the surrounding rooms and providing a place for a large group of family members or friends to gather. And along with that, intricate and dimensional rooms should prove to serve more than one purpose. For example, a home office will still be functional as a workspace for its monthly user—sans bed. Rather than calling it a guest room, the quarters will typically serve as office space first and permit guest visits next.
Smart house technological additions will further the agenda of a controlled, focused living space where we want to spend our free time. Automation, for me, absolutely includes LED lighting specifics and elaborate security systems.
Innovative Home Extension Ideas
Getting creative with architectural solutions, such as vertical living spaces, is a trend that is increasingly common in cities, where many people can only afford to buy small properties. Instead of taking up valuable space horizontally with renovations, homeowners just build a little extra on top. It warms my soul to think about the positive impact this sort of thinking has on the use of land in our cities. The cityscape will start to look more crystalline, with peaks and troughs as more people follow suit in building more dynamic, exciting living spaces.
Outdoor or room extensions that flow into outdoor living spaces are brilliant for those yearning for the kind of design that makes a home feel like a unique place that is more representative of who they are. Having a design that is made just for me personally, and that no one else would even want to copy, is the main sort of space I look for to get cozy.
