What is a Mother-In-Law Suite?

Mother-in-law suites are extensions of homes remodeled into autonomous living spaces. These can act as a temporary or long-term home for family members and is great for giving your guests more privacy. Mother-in-law suites are ideal for Grandparents looking to spend extra time with their grandkids and for young adults looking for more privacy. Spaces can also be rented out and will increase the value of your house. If you need extra space, privacy, or want to improve your home, creating a mother-in-law suite is the way to go.

Where to Create a Mother-In-Law Suite?

  1. The Basement: The basement is an ideal place to create a mother-in-law-suite. Why? Because the basement is isolated from the rest of the house and is generally unused and unfurnished. Finishing your basement to create a mother-in-law suite offers privacy and is a great way to increase the value of your house. Plus when it’s not in use, it can be converted into a game room or relaxing space.
  2. Garage: The garage is another great place to create a mother-in-law suite. It offers privacy and utilizes all the square footage of your house. One of the best aspects of a garage mother-in-law suite is the size. Garages tend to be large and allow for a more customizable space.
  3. Rooms separated from the rest of the house: Rooms that lie on the wings of the house are great spaces to convert into a mother-in-law-suite. These suites are great for live-in families or recently graduated kids.
