Are you feeling stifled by your space lately? You aren’t alone. Across Kamloops, homeowners are expanding their homes to make room for new family members, new business ventures, or simply new spaces. Are you looking to invest in a home addition in Kamloops this year? In this post, we’ll break down some effective home addition plans and ideas plans to help your space feel brand new again.
Popular Home Addition Ideas
Transforming your home is easier than you might think. Try adding square footage with one of these ideas for home additions:
Legal Basement Suite
Is your basement space collecting dust? Are you looking to generate some additional income? With secondary suites on the rise in BC, now is a great time to turn your unused space into something functional. With years of experience under our belt, we’ll help you design a space that is inviting, bright, and enticing to future renters. Or, if you are simply looking to make the most of your space, we can also help with that! We’ll work with you to create an additional space that is a seamless extension of your home. Looking for inspiration? Our portfolio features several examples of completed basement suites, including the Creekside Suite Reno.
However, remember: creating a basement suite isn’t your normal addition. If you plan on turning your space into a rental unit, you’ll need to ensure that your new space follows local building codes and regulations so that it is completely legal. Looking for an experienced team that knows the ins and outs of this renovation? Look no further! Interior Elite Contracting handles everything from permit applications to code compliance.

Expanded Kitchen
Let’s face it, everyone fantasizes about a kitchen renovation pulled straight from the pages of Architectural Digest. But if your space is limited, a renovation can feel more like a kitchen nightmare than a culinary dream. Don’t settle for cramped spaces—adding more space to your kitchen allows you to build islands, breakfast nooks, walk-in pantries, and more. In some cases, we can even pair your kitchen addition with a stunning patio, increasing your space’s indoor and outdoor appeal. Check out our Heritage House Addition Project to see what we can do.
Additional Bathroom
An extra bathroom can be transformative, especially if your family is growing. Plus, as one of the smallest projects on this list, a new bathroom can be one of the cheapest home additions. Looking to keep things extremely cost-effective? Expand an existing bathroom with a “bump-out” construction. While added rooms, kitchens, or living areas require an extra foundation, a bump out to an existing space only adds 30-40 square feet to your home and normally doesn’t require costly foundation work.
Sunroom or Deck
While it might be tempting to increase your indoor living space when investing in a home addition, don’t forget to consider exterior additions! Decks, balconies, and sunrooms are all fantastic additions, especially if you want to make the most of the Kamloops climate. Try a fully screened-in porch for maximum indoor-outdoor living or a lush deck for your very own secret garden. Check out our previous post to learn more about building a new deck.
