Coffered ceilings can make a room look bigger, but they also run the risk of doing the opposite. Installation may require lowering the ceiling and creating a shorter ceiling height, while smaller panels and larger beams can create a busier textured look that creates the illusion of a smaller space. On the other hand, installing larger ceiling panels can create the illusion of more space.

To make your home more accessible, think about installing a stair lift for smooth transport between floors or a home elevator for easy access in multi-floor homes. Widening doorways helps wheelchairs navigate with ease while grab bars in bathrooms and hallways offer essential support. Consider replacing traditional door knobs with lever handles, which are much easier to use, especially for those with limited hand strength. Whether you tackle small changes or larger renovations, these upgrades can turn your home into a welcoming space for everyone.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.

Just like the rest of your roof, a dormer will last as long as the life span of the materials used in construction. Slate, clay, and concrete roofing can last for over a century, whereas more standard roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, last closer to 30 years. The structure of the dormer itself, however, should last the roof's lifetime when properly maintained. Only the window, insulation, and eaves may require repairs over time.
