As small as 2 feet: Bump outs may extend as far as 10 to 15 feet from the house, but they can also be tiny "pop-outs" that are no deeper than 2 feet. Cantilevers: Small bump outs often are cantilevered (unsupported by posts) from the house. This is typically limited to about 2 feet in depth.

Learn More »House bump outs offer a tantalizing solution to that age-old conflict of space and money: You want more space in your house, but it costs more money than you can afford. When you want multi-room space—bedroom, bathroom, and living room or office, for instance—you build a full-blown addition. However, full-blown additions blow your finances to smithereens. Expect to pay up to six figures for even a modest addition. If you need less space (or cannot afford a full addition), try a room addition—one room tacked onto the side of the house, typically one bedroom or one bathroom. If you do not need that much space and/or money is tight, a bump out might just be the right improvement, especially if you need only a little more space in a specific room, like a bathroom or kitchen.

Lean-to roof : Bump outs often have a shed-style (lean-to) or flat roofs, rather than extending the existing roof. : Bump outs often have a shed-style (lean-to) or flat roofs, rather than extending the existing roof. Minimal exterior changes: Bump outs, due to their small size, do not substantially change the exterior of the house. They often blend in seamlessly with the main house. A bump out that extends 3 feet from the house and is 15 feet wide adds 45 square feet to the home. This would not be considered a major space-maker relative to the entire house. These 45 extra square feet would only add 3 percent to a 1,500-square-foot home. However, bump outs are often installed in rooms that are already very small—often unbearably tiny. A 150-square-foot kitchen, when bumped out another 45 square feet, receives a 30-percent boost in space. Because most bump outs are not full rooms, they tend to enhance an existing room. Homeowners commonly use them to provide just enough extra floor space for specific goals, such as:
