The Joy of the Season…But No Room at your Inn
Welcome to January and welcome to 2026. As we look back on yet another holiday
season, there’s many new memories to be grateful for – kids crowded around the tree,
family dinners in cramped dining rooms, or maybe it’s just the growing friend group that
doesn’t quite fit in the living room anymore.
A Cramped Barn
These memories have one thing in common and that’s entertaining in spaces that are a
bit too small or less than functional. The easy answer is to simply buy a bigger home.
Yet, with home prices still at an all time high, we’re all looking to maximize what we
already own. Our team is here to offer you some options to be better prepared for
entertaining in 2026 and beyond.
A more inviting setting
There’s two primary ways to increase the entertaining value of your home. The first and simplest way to create more space is through interior renovations. On a main floor, this could be removing a wall or adjusting the layout of key rooms to increase traffic flow and the efficiency of space. In a basement, it could be finishing off areas to provide more bedrooms or lounge areas for guests to relax and enjoy quieter conversation. Depending on certain factors, this level of renovation is achievable without pulling a permit.
If these options don’t provide the space you’re looking for, the second way to improve entertaining area is to add space onto your home. Popular options include 4 season rooms, extended living rooms, or separate sitting rooms. Each of these provide more area for guests to diverge into and to decrease the cramped feeling you may have felt this past season. Given the involved nature of this option, permits are required.
A renewed Space
Either of these two avenues provide feasible way to better your ability to entertain in 2026. It could even be that you opt for a combined approach of renovating and adding space on. Regardless of your need, our team is fully equipped to provide you with expertise and guidance on design, permits, and management of the construction process. With a deep network of industry professionals, we’re here to make sure that next year…there’s room in your inn.
