I love to add skylights to additions, depending on where they're placed and what is the purpose of the room. Especially for sunrooms, expanded kitchens or living rooms, skylights are always welcome features that feel a little bit fancy, and that can add a lot of joy particularly during winter months. We'd all give anything for an extra bit of sun in the dreariest of days, right?
One splurge item in my room addition that I absolutely love is the heated floors. Installing radiant heating was a luxury upgrade, but it has made a huge difference in both comfort and energy efficiency, especially during colder months. This feature is special because it eliminates the shock of cold floors in the morning and provides even, consistent warmth throughout the space. Unlike traditional heating systems, it doesn't create drafts or dry out the air. I would absolutely recommend it to others, particularly in bathrooms or living areas where warmth underfoot adds an extra layer of comfort and luxury.
One feature I absolutely love in our room addition is the custom-built fireplace. It adds warmth, a cozy vibe, and a touch of luxury to the space. Would absolutely recommend it to everyone especially on cold wintery days like these!
One splurge item I absolutely love in a room addition is adding oversized windows or even a set of sliding glass doors to bring in as much natural light as possible. There's something about having that open, airy feel that completely transforms the space, making it feel bigger, more inviting, and just overall more enjoyable to spend time in. Natural light also has a huge impact on mood, and if the view is good, it's even better. I'd absolutely recommend it to others because it's one of those upgrades that you'll appreciate every single day. It makes the space feel high-end without necessarily having to go all out on expensive decor, and it adds value to the home in the long run.
