Many families have unused space in their attic. That space could be made useful, with some remodeling services from a professional contractor. This fall, make good use of your attic. Turn your home's top level into an area where you and your family can enjoy their time at home. We've compiled some suggestions below to help you imagine what could be in your unused space.
1. Family Hang Out Space
Turn your attic into a hang out space like a family room or a den, where you and your loved ones can spend time watching movies, playing games, talking with friends or just hanging out. Add a bathroom to make the space more useful and convenient.
Like films? Talk to your contractor about adding a media center in your family hang out space, where you can watch movies just like you're in a theater.

2. Extra Bedroom for a Growing Family
Maybe you love your house and you don't want to move but... there's a new baby on the way. Use that attic to create a bedroom or even a new master suite, complete with bathroom. Your extra bedroom can also be used as an in-law apartment for older relatives, or as an apartment for your aging teenager.
3. Home Office
That space upstairs could give you the privacy you need to work from home without being disturbed by the kids. That space will get hot in summer unless you work with your home remodeler to install climate control. Talk to your contractor about a heat pump installation to keep the space cool in summer and warm in winter. If there's room in your budget, find out how much it would cost to install furnishings like built-in shelves or even a built-in desk.
4. Game Room
So, you just want peace and quiet? Turn your attic into a place where the children can play. Work with your home remodeler to install custom features like a built-in bench with a built-in toy box inside, or a custom shelf for storing games and puzzles. These little details make your finished attic even more valuable, and will help your home sell when the time comes.
5. Craft Room
If you enjoy creating crafts from scratch, or maybe you like painting, the attic is a perfect place for working on such activities without interruption. Work with your home remodeler in Des Moines to install a built-in work bench, storage area, and a few windows for ensuring that your attic area will be comfortable and cheerful, the perfect place to get work done.
6. Man Cave
Create a fun space for watching the game, playing on the computer, pumping up the volume and resting after a long day. The Man Cave is a perfect retreat for anyone who wants to rest and relax in seclusion away from the kids. Want something extra special? Ask your home remodeler to install a wet bar and refrigerator for making drinks on those long, lazy afternoons in your attic.
