How to Aesthetically Blend a Home Extension Into Your Existing Property

If you’re getting ready to add onto your home, it’s important to consider how you’ll make the extension fit in with the existing structure. Without proper steps to match the two, you could end up with an unappealing addition to your home. Here are four tips for matching your new home extension with your existing property.

Carefully Match Flooring and Molding

One of the telltale signs that a part of your home is a later addition is mismatched flooring. If the flooring in one part of the house looks considerably different from the rest of the home, it will be a dead giveaway that you’ve had your house extended. The same is true for baseboards and ceiling molding. Matching all of these elements will help your house flow naturally and help the addition look like a regular part of the structure.

Make Sure Your New Windows Match

Windows can also make one part of a house look drastically different from the rest. If the windows in your extension are of a different size or configuration than the rest of the house, it will make the addition feel out of place. Try to match your existing windows as closely as possible. If necessary, you might even consider having your existing windows replaced when the addition is built so that all of your home’s windows match perfectly.

Keep a Uniform Decor Theme

When it comes to blending home extensions, not everything is in the materials and structure. The decor you use in your home will also play a role. Try to keep a more or less consistent feel when decorating the new addition. Uniform decor will also help to cover up any small differences between the original structure and the addition by drawing visitors’ eyes away from the structure of the house itself.

Have Your Siding Updated

Matching the new addition to the outside of your home is just as important as the inside, but it’s also much easier. To achieve a uniform exterior look, simply replace the siding on your entire home when it comes time to add siding to the extension. This will ensure that the outside of the house has a consistent appearance that won’t give away the difference between the addition and the original home.
