We’ve got it so good here in Tampa. Perfect weather, beaches, the best food, great lifestyle for people of all ages.
We’re basically living in luxury.
So why not crank that up a bit with some luxury home additions and these ideas for your Tampa home? You – and your guests – deserve the best.
Luxury Home Additions
Guest House
When guests come visiting, they can stay with you while having a fully self-contained place of their own. Win-win! A guest house has so many uses – for visitors, for elderly relatives, an office, a pool house, wine cellar, teen retreat, movie theater, you name it.
Grown-Up Treehouse
Feel like a kid again while enjoying Tampa’s glorious climate. Be the envy of the entire neighborhood with a treehouse for adults built around an old tree in your yard. Perfect for parties. On a lower level include a platform for the BBQ, a table and even some hammocks. High above, fit it out with balconies, windows, a full roof with skylights, comfy furniture, fridge, bar, you name it.
Step-Down Tub
A standalone tub is nice. A step-down tub is a wonderful luxury addition to your home. Just picture the tub sunk into the stonework floor and you stepping slowly down into it until you are fully immersed. Like a miniature swimming pool in your home. Deck the bathroom out wall-to-wall with neutral stonework tiling, include some wall niches for candles, and you’ll feel like your bathroom is a spa.
Outdoor Bathroom
Tampa’s climate is ideal for this luxury addition. Create a private bathroom in the outdoor where you can bathe or shower while listening to the birds and smelling the lush flowers. What an invigorating way to get ready to face the day. And what a glorious way to wash the day’s stresses off when you get home.
Secret Passageway
Just like in the movies, a bookshelf swings open to reveal a doorway leading upstairs or downstairs. Imagine what visitors will say! There’s really no trick to it – it’s simply a bookshelf being used as a door. But how cool would it be?
Trapdoor Floor
Why bother walking into another room to then go down the stairs? Put a glass trapdoor in the floor of your kitchen and step down to your wine cellar, laundry, games room, whatever you like. Pure fun as well as luxury.
Outdoor Movie Theater
Tampa is so great for outdoor activities. Enjoy a movie in your own backyard by having the technology designed into your patio. If you can have power for outdoor light designed into it, you can also have everything for a movie theater. Transform the patio from “ordinary” into a place where everyone wants to be. Host any occasion – the big game by the BBQ, a quiet movie, or a special family gathering with video memories playing on the screen. Don’t forget Christmas time, too, when we can still be outside while the rest of America freezes!
