A good house plan allows for expansion over time as your lifestyle changes or your family grows. A bonus room provides that and can be finished when you build your home or at a later time when your needs change or budget allows. You’ll find that bonus rooms are often over a garage since they can be easily and inexpensively designed into the trusses, but really can be designed on any floor of the house. The additional space can be used for an office, playroom, home gym, media room, extra bedroom or anything you want it to be. Be sure your bonus room includes energy-efficiency features such as sufficient ceiling insulation and well-sealed double-glazed windows. Enjoy browsing through our extensive collection of house plans with bonus rooms.
