Homeowners throughout the UK had to put their renovation plans on hold due to Covid. Now that lockdown is fast becoming a distant memory, 2022 is the year to get creative — by getting inspiration from the best house extensions, perhaps, or remodelling your kitchen.
Where should you start? Why not pick up from where you left off? Or, if you’re stuck, use this guide to steer your decision making.
1. The kitchen is the heart of your home
Kitchens are as much about cooking up a great conversation as they are bringing great recipes to life. But, if this space in your home is lacking, you’re probably too embarrassed to invite guests over or spend time in it with family.
Why not bring this space to life by opening it up with the best house extensions possible. Remove the wall entirely to create a room without barriers where guests can move to and fro seamlessly — resting in the extension with drinks or mixing with others in the kitchen itself.
If preferred, bifold or patio doors could separate the spaces so you can use them independently when you wish. For example, you might want to enjoy a book while another family member cooks and entertains in the kitchen.
Seeking help from home remodelling companies is advisable. That way you can ask for advice about layout, style, and fittings to ensure your finished kitchen looks the way you dreamt it would.
2. Create more space by extending
Even if a kitchen-diner isn’t your cup of tea, extending your home brings with it many benefits. All that extra space could be used as a lounge area to relax in during the summer. Picture a cool breeze flowing through your new aluminium bi-fold doors while you read, talk or entertain guests.
Alternatively, if you work from home, an extension could function as your office. You can benefit from a private space where you can concentrate, instead of being distracted by the sounds of your kids playing or delivery drivers knocking on your door.
Choosing the best house extension isn’t easy. Do you want a traditional design, a conservatory extension, or an orangery-inspired space complete with a lantern roof and more brick than glass? Then there’s the challenge of choosing the right doors, windows, and glass.
Fortunately, a home remodelling company can advise on all these areas and even help with planning permission and building regulations.
3. How about a complete bathroom design?
Whilst the kitchen is a communal area where you spend time with family or friends, the bathroom is a private space where you can unwind in a warm bath and read a book or get ready for work.
If your bathroom feels anything less than luxurious you’ll probably want to spend as little time in it as possible. Imagine the difference new floor tiles and an updated sink and bathtub would make. You can start each day on a high and feel more inclined to unwind in your new bathroom after a long day.
Whether your bathroom is large or small, a home remodelling company with the right expertise will be able to optimise the space available and recommend the best fittings.
