The Benefits of a Second Living Area

Nothing beats the comfort of relaxing in your living room watching your favorite feel-good show to take your stress away.

In most households, it can be argued that the most used room in the home is the kitchen. However, others may say that the living room is the most used room in the home. The living room is often the place where families have game night or have movie marathons. On weekends, the living room is where family and friends gather to watch live sports games. During the week, the living room is the first spot we visit after a long day’s work and all you want to do is prop your feet up to watch your favorite show.

With the living room being such a high-traffic area, it can be very easy for some families to run into issues when deciding what show or movie to watch. One person may want to watch their show and the other person wants to watch another show or movie. Another issue that families can run into is not having enough space. If you have a small living room, it can start to feel crowded quickly once you start adding larger furniture, or maybe your children are inviting their friends over more often, and those new friends are taking over your living room space. If you have teenage children, they may want to play video games when you want to watch a specific TV show which can cause other recurring issues.

This is where KM BUILDERS can help. Our Design Consultants and Architectural Designers can work with you to find the best possible solution to help create a second living area in your home. We can build a room addition, or we can convert your garage into a secondary living space. If your home has high ceilings, we can even turn that into a loft! We can also convert your attic, or we can convert a patio sunroom to become a second living area as well.

The benefit of having a second living area is that everyone can have their own space to relax. A second living room provides you with more freedom to enjoy watching what you want to watch with less distracting background noises. Your children will also have more freedom to play their video games and hang out with their friends in a space that feels like they have their own corner in the home. If you have younger children, a second living area can help keep your home more organized as you can hide all of their toys in their living room and keep the main living room clutter-free. With all the members in your household having a separate space to enjoy their leisure time in, you’ll also have a deeper appreciation for when the whole family is together watching a movie or watching a sports game.

Our designers and architects are always able to find creative solutions for our clients. If you feel that a second living area will give you more peace and comfort in your home, KM BUILDERS is here to help.
