Have a spare room in your home? Has it become a junk room? Is it empty? Are you at a loss as to what to use it for? Don’t waste the space! Get creative! This extra room is a gold mine! There is so much you can do with a spare room.

At Sunset Builders & Maintenance, we specialize in home renovations. We can turn and old bedroom or spare space into something completely different – we can transform this room into anything you want it to be!

We wanted to share some renovation ideas with you to use for a spare home or space in your home:

• Have a lot of clothes and accessories? Turn a spare room into a large closet. Install shelving, racks, and poles to organize all your clothes. You’ll have so much space!
• Designate this room to be a kids-only play room. Install shelving for books and toys. Paint the walls with chalk paint, so the kids can draw on the wall without it being a problem!
• Design a library. Build book shelves into the walls and install reading lights. Bring in comfortable reading chairs. This will be a great place to relax!
• Create an arts and crafts room. Design cabinets and counter space for you to make all your art and store all your equipment and supplies.
• Design a game room. Install a TV into the wall. Install outlets and USB ports all around the room. Bring in a pool table, arcade games, video games, and more!
• Install a bar or butler’s pantry. In this room, you can store all your kitchen supplies and bar supplies and mix drinks and snacks, so you’re not in the way in other rooms of the home. If the space is big enough, you can have friends and family sit around for a cocktail specifically in this room.
• Turn the room into the laundry room. If the spare room is on the second floor, this will make doing laundry so much easier!

Have an empty, spare, sad-looking room? Change it up! The possibilities are endless with what you can do. At the end of the day, if you want to make it be another bedroom, we can help you renovate that too! We are here for all your home renovation needs.

Does your bathroom need a makeover? Maybe it’s too dark? Maybe it feels too small? If you’re considering renovating your bathroom, there’s lots of changes you can make to enhance and revamp the room without having to demo the entire space or without having to cost you an arm and a leg.

One part of the bathroom you can update is your mirror(s). A different mirror (shape, color, size, height) can completely transform your bathroom. A new mirror can make your bathroom appear brighter or bigger.

A mirror is also an element in the room where you can have fun. Mirrors don’t have to be plain. Instead of wall art, your mirror can be artsy. A mirror can make your room feel eccentric, elegant, glamorous, rustic, etc.

At Sunset Builders & Maintenance, we’ve installed our share of mirrors over the years, so we wanted to share some fun and varied bathroom mirror ideas with you.

• If you have a single sink, install an unframed round mirror. The circle shape brings some character to all the sharper edges in the room.
• If you have little wall space, install suspended mirrors. These mirrors hang from the ceiling by cables. This is a very modern look.
• If you have a small bathroom with no window, install wrap around or large mirrors that take up most of the wall space. The mirror will brighten up the room and make the bathroom look bigger than it is.
• If you have people in your household of different heights, install a pivoting mirror.
• For an artsy look and to create more space, install a mirror on top of a mirror. Use different sizes and cuts.
• For another artsy look, install a mirror with a very ornate frame.
• For a dramatic effect, install a tall thin mirror with a thin frame.
• For a fun and creative look, install a bunch of mirrors with different sizes, styles, and frames – this allows you to decorate/design the room without having to redo the floor, toilet, counter, or tub.

Just from a mirror switch, you can have a completely new bathroom! We want to hear your bathroom mirror ideas!

The kitchen island can change the entire look of a kitchen. Most likely, you spend a lot of time in your kitchen, and so do your loved ones. The kitchen island is a place to prepare food, cook food, serve food, serve drinks, eat food, and stand around and engage in conversation. The kitchen island is multi-purpose.

The kitchen island’s size, look, shape, and purpose should reflect your wants and needs. Do you have a big family? Do you have a big kitchen? Do you host a lot of parties? Do you have a lot of kitchenware? Do you cook often? The answers to these questions will determine how you design your kitchen island.

At Sunset Builders & Maintenance, we are experts in kitchen renovations. We will look at your kitchen and help you design the ideal kitchen island for you based on your needs, wants, and the size of your kitchen.

For this article, we’ve gathered together a list of different kitchen island design ideas. A new kitchen island can help bring your kitchen to life – it will be a great focal point in the room.

• Choose a round kitchen island instead of a square or rectangle island. If you have a lot of gatherings, the round island is better for socializing. The round kitchen island will also help the room look bigger.
• If you build a two-level kitchen island, you can use one level for eating and serving while the other level is for cooking and preparing food.
• Install shelves, cabinets, drawers, and wine racks into the sides of the island to create more storage space into your kitchen. The shelves and storage can also be a fun way for you to display décor, appliances, books, wine bottles, and more.
• Choose contrasting colors for the countertop and cabinetry – this will be a bold look.
• Build a TV into the island that can sink down under the countertop when you are not using it.
• Put your stove top on the island if you don’t have enough room on your other counters.
• Put an additional sink in the island.
• Install a one-level island with nothing on it for a simple, clean look.
• Install USB cords and outlets into the island so you can easily charge devices and use appliances from the island without having to stretch cords.

These kitchen island upgrade ideas just scratch the surface of the possibilities! Come to us with all your kitchen island ideas and we can help make your vision a reality!
