If your kitchen feels like it could use a little more square footage but would rather not undertake something that comes with a costly kitchen estimate, consider a bump-out. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Schaumburg discusses why we love them — and why you will, too.
What Is a Kitchen Bump-Out?
In remodeling terms, a bump-out is a type of home addition that increases the home’s footprint by a few feet outwards and rarely involves the upper story. The additional square footage can be allocated for seating, storage or just additional space to move. In any case, even a few square feet can dramatically improve the kitchen’s overall flow and utility.
A bump-out can also be useful when you’re planning to change the kitchen’s floor plan. Whether it’s to accommodate a new island or dining table, or if you’re looking into upgrading your kitchen appliances, a bump-out is relatively simple (with a kitchen quote to match) compared to a full kitchen remodel.
Why You Should Consider a Kitchen Bump-Out
As remodelers, we love kitchen bump-outs because they present a greater challenge, as opposed to complete remodels. With the latter, it’s far easier to come up with a design because one can start from scratch. On the other hand, a bump-out is essentially bumping out a side of the house. It could be as little as a few square feet, or as large as a bedroom.
But enough about us; you’ll want to consider a bump-out, primarily because they’re easier to manage than a full kitchen remodel. It’s no secret that kitchen remodeling projects take several weeks to finish. If you’re expecting guests for the holidays in the coming months, a bump-out would be ideal because of the shorter timeline. Another reason to love a kitchen bump-out is that you don’t have to overhaul the entire kitchen’s floor plan — perfect if you’ve already established a workflow and aren’t keen on changing it.
