Space-Maxxing: Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Los Angeles ADU

ADUs are great for so many reasons, however, they aren’t known for their endless square footage. In Los Angeles, the average ADU size is 400 to 600 square feet for a one-bedroom dwelling. The current maximum for ADUs is only 1,200 square feet, so you’ll need to be creative about how you maximize your space. Here are some tips to keep in mind. 

Keep it open 

An open floor plan can do wonders to make your ADU feel spacious and bright. The most practical way to achieve this is to combine the living room, dining room and kitchen into one continuous space by not adding any unnecessary walls or other architectural barriers. As a bonus, consider appliances and equipment that can be neatly tucked or folded away to keep the main area as clutter-free as possible. 

Stay on top 

With space at a premium in ADUs, you’ll need to think about incorporating vertical thinking into both the design and organization situation. Bunk beds are one idea for the bedroom and another is stacked shelving units. For the bathroom, try floating cabinets on the wall. Finally, the kitchen can be maximized by using the space on or above the refrigerator. 

Out of one, many

Multi-functional furniture is another key consideration for ADUs. A couch that transforms into a bed, a coffee table with built-in drawers, a chair that stretches out into a recliner. You can also eke out some more space by raising beds and other large furniture to add storage units underneath it. There are plenty of options for space-saving furniture pieces that have more than one use case. 

Make room in your ADU 

ADUs aren’t meant to be big, but they do offer some extra room where and when you need it most. At Nagar Builders, we have experience constructing ADUs of all types and sizes. Call us today to get started on yours.  

Client Testimonials

Thank you Nagar! The entire process was smooth and easy. I called them and they were quick to provide an estimate. Once they explained pricing to me and I agreed, they were ready to work ASAP! I hired them to add an office space to my home. My office went fully remote due to COVID so I wanted to have a full office space where I could concentrate. It was amazing to see the entire construction process, from building the walls, to adding a half bathroom. The finished product is truly impeccable.

Avi and his team from Nagar builders remodeled our bathroom and kitchen and they did a phenomenal job!!! His team is very skilled, knowledgeable, and clean. Avi was also very professional and he made so many suggestions to us as we weren’t even sure what style and colors we wanted, he pretty much helped us design everything. I wouldn’t hire anyone other than Avi to do any work at my house, I’m very satisfied with his work and professionalism and I highly recommend this company!! Thank you again Avi!

I hired Nagar Builders to remodel my kitchen. The house I currently live in (in West Hollywood) was passed down to me from my mother. … We added a waterfall counter, tile backsplash, new appliances, and cabinets in a nice warm and inviting blue color. It also felt like they worked fast than estimated so I was able to use my new kitchen earlier than expected! If it weren’t for the pandemic, I would be hosting all the time!

Vanessa R.

We hired Avi from Nagar Builders to help us solve a multitude of issues with our backyard including landscaping with artificial turf, replace our old rotting deck and install vinyl gates, remediate failing stucco wall and foundation, and more. … we are very happy with the look of our backyard now – definitely will bring back Avi for future work!
