The two basic types of room additions include horizontal additions and vertical additions. If you have space and necessary clearances on your property, a horizontal addition to the main living area of your house can greatly increase its comfort level and usability. Horizontal room additions generally require new foundations to support the new space.
If you have a small lot, you may be limited to adding an upstairs bedroom or bathroom. This could involve raising your roofline or extending your roof with a shed or gable dormer. If your budget does not permit an expensive addition, you may be able to add a screened porch or sunroom more economically.
