Fall Back in Love With Your Home—Right Where You Are
If you love your neighborhood but your home feels a little tight, you’re not alone. Many South Jersey homeowners are realizing they can gain the extra space they need without the stress of moving. With smart design and thoughtful remodeling, you can transform your current home into the spacious, functional retreat you’ve always wanted.
At Gold Leaf Designs, we specialize in custom home additions and renovations across Cherry Hill, Longport, the Jersey Shore, and Pennsylvania, helping families expand beautifully—without leaving the place they call home.
Open Up Your Floor Plan
One of the most effective ways to create more space is by removing unnecessary walls and embracing an open-concept layout.
♦ Combine your kitchen, dining, and living areas to create flow and light.
♦ Add a large island or breakfast bar to define space without closing it off.
♦ Incorporate large windows or sliding doors to make your home feel bigger and brighter.
Open floor plans are especially popular in South Jersey and shore homes, where natural light and coastal air can become part of your living space.
Build Up, Not Out
If your property lines are tight, consider a second-story addition. This option is ideal for homeowners in Cherry Hill and Longport who love their lot but need more square footage.
A second floor can add:
♦ Extra bedrooms or a private primary suite
♦ A home office or gym
♦ A kids’ playroom or guest suite
Gold Leaf Designs ensures that every ew level flows seamlessly with your existing design, both structurally and aesthetically.
Add a Thoughtful Home Addition
Sometimes, all you need is a little more room. A custom home addition can completely change how your home functions.
Popular options include:
♦ Expanding your kitchen or family room
♦ Adding a sunroom or four-season space
♦ Creating a mudroom or laundry area for better organization
Our team at Gold Leaf Designs crafts additions that blend perfectly with your home’s architecture—so it looks like it was always meant to be there.
Make Use of Underutilized Spaces
Many homeowners overlook the potential in their basements, attics, or garages. With the right design, these areas can become functional and inviting living spaces.
Ideas include:
♦ Turning your basement into a family lounge or home theater
♦ Converting your attic into a guest bedroom or office
♦ Transforming your garage into a hobby space or fitness studio
We’ve helped clients across South Jersey unlock hidden potential in every corner of their homes.
Create Outdoor Living Spaces
Maximizing space isn’t limited to what’s inside your home. An outdoor living area can dramatically expand your usable space.
Think about:
♦ Covered patios and decks for dining and entertaining
♦ Outdoor kitchens for summer gatherings
♦ Fire pits and lounge areas for year-round relaxation
For shore homes in Longport or Avalon, we design outdoor spaces that connect effortlessly to the indoors while capturing those coastal breezes and views.
Transform Your Home Without Changing Your Address
You don’t have to move to get the space you’ve been dreaming of. With the right remodel or addition, your current home can grow with you—beautifully and functionally.
At Gold Leaf Designs, we help families throughout South Jersey, Cherry Hill, Longport, the Jersey Shore, and Pennsylvania create the perfect balance of comfort, style, and space.
