Add Space for Your Family to Entertain with a Kitchen Addition
There are many ways to expand a kitchen, depending on your remodeling goals:
Bump-Out Kitchen Addition
A bump-out extends your kitchen by a few feet, adding valuable space without the need for a full foundation. It’s perfect for smaller upgrades—like extra cabinetry, a cozy breakfast nook, or additional counter space—that make a big difference in how your kitchen feels and functions.
Open Floor Plan for Seamless Living and Hosting
An open kitchen creates a natural flow between your cooking, dining, and living areas—perfect for modern family life and easy entertaining. By removing interior walls, you’ll enjoy more light, better sightlines, and a connected space that brings everyone together.
Kitchen Addition with New Foundation for Major Upgrades
A kitchen addition that extends off the back or side of your home offers the chance for a major upgrade. Because it involves building new space from the ground up, it requires its own foundation, giving you lasting quality and room to design the kitchen you’ve always wanted.
Outdoor Kitchen Addition for Seasonal Entertaining
Make the most of Michigan’s beautiful summer and fall seasons with an outdoor kitchen built for entertaining. Whether you’re grilling, mixing drinks at the bar, or relaxing by the fire pit, you’ll have everything you need to host in comfort, rain or shine.
How a Kitchen Addition Helps with Hosting for the Holidays and Other Occasions
A kitchen addition provides the extra space you need to host comfortably and cook efficiently, especially during the holidays. It transforms your home into a more functional and welcoming space where cooking, dining, and gathering blend effortlessly. In this kind of kitchen makeover, an addition offers many possibilities:
Kitchen Dining Room Addition
With an open layout and abundant natural light, a kitchen-dining room addition creates an inviting, spacious environment perfect for large family dinners and holiday gatherings. By removing the wall between the two rooms, it seamlessly blends cooking and dining spaces—bringing everyone together and eliminating the disconnect between food prep and social time.
Kitchen Family Room Addition
A kitchen–family-room addition transforms how you live and gather. This open-concept design connects your kitchen and living spaces seamlessly, making the kitchen the true heart of the home. Perfect for both everyday moments and special celebrations, it keeps everyone connected, whether someone’s cooking, relaxing, or working in an office nook nearby.
Kitchen Living Room Addition
This kitchen remodel ensures you’re part of the fun while you cook. A kitchen living room addition creates a large and inviting space where guests can socialize by the kitchen island or lounge on the sofa while you add the finishing touches to dinner. It’s ideal for homeowners who enjoy hosting in a comfortable, connected setting.
Sunroom Kitchen Addition
A sunroom kitchen extension brings light, warmth, and year-round comfort to your home. This bright, airy addition seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, allowing you to cook, dine, and entertain while taking in panoramic views of your backyard and Michigan’s changing seasons. It’s a perfect balance of luxury and livability.
What Is a Kitchen Bump-Out?
Smart Ways to Add Space Without a Full Remodel
A kitchen bump-out addition is a great way to add a little extra space and make your kitchen work better for everyday life—without taking on a full-scale expansion. Depending on the size and your local building codes, it may still need a foundation, but the added square footage can make a big difference. Once the space is in place, you can make it your own with touches like custom cabinetry, a tile backsplash, or pendant lighting to tie everything together.
Fun Features to Have in Your Kitchen for Hosting
For homeowners who love to entertain, certain kitchen features—like a walk-in pantry or a butler’s pantry—can dramatically improve flow, function, and visual appeal.
Kitchen Pantry Addition
A kitchen pantry addition creates a dedicated space for storing bulk ingredients, small appliances, and seasonal tableware. It helps keep your kitchen organized and clutter-free, freeing up valuable cabinet and counter space. With thoughtful design and customization, your new pantry can feature built-in cabinetry, adjustable shelving, or even a full walk-in layout to fit your needs.
Bump-Out Breakfast Nook
A breakfast nook instantly makes your kitchen feel warmer and more inviting, ideal for cozy family mornings or casual coffee with friends. With built-in seating, soft cushions, and custom windows, it adds both charm and everyday function to your kitchen space.
Butler’s Pantry
A butler’s pantry creates a dedicated prep space with its own sink, countertop, and cabinetry, separate from the main kitchen. It’s especially handy during holidays or large gatherings, giving you extra room to mix drinks, set out dishes, or discreetly stash used plates while keeping the main kitchen clean and inviting.
Built-In Beverage Station
A built-in beverage station adds everyday convenience and a touch of luxury to your kitchen. Outfitted with refrigerator drawers, a wine cooler, and an under-counter ice maker, it’s perfect for serving chilled drinks, hot beverages, or even light appetizers, whether it’s a quiet morning at home or a lively gathering with friends.
