Building a guest house is a great way to provide overnight visitors with a comfortable living space that’s close by but still private. It is also one of the most efficient ways to add square footage to your current living space without breaking the bank. That being said, there are many things to consider when you are planning for your guest house. Read on as Highland Design and Build, a top local bathroom remodeling company, shares some tips to help you make the most of your new guest house addition.
Keep It Small
400 to 600 square feet is a sound requirement for new guest house builds. Building a bigger space means more expenses for materials like the roof, siding, flooring and walls.
Add a Full-Sized Closet
Adding a full-sized closet is will help maximize the functionality of your guest house. It also plays an important role in marketing your property in the future. Consider attaching closet organizers to the wall, which will help you avoid chunky cabinets on the floor. As with a kitchen remodel organizers will help you make the most use of your vertical space.
Build a Bathroom
Make sure your guests are comfortable by adding a private bathroom in your guest house. It is a convenient idea that both you and your family can benefit from as well. One trick to make a small bathroom feel more spacious is to store all guest linens, towels, travel-sized toiletries in a storage cabinet outside.
