Whether you need some extra bedrooms, an additional bathroom, somewhere to work from home, a larger kitchen or more living space, here are some of the things that you can do to help you make the most of the home that you are in and make it suited to your needs…
Building an extension is something that can be done in many ways. What you choose to do depends on many things, from budget to what you can get planning permission for and also how you envisage using the space.
Here are some suggestions to help you get started…
A garden room
A separate building in the garden is a great way to gain a room that gives you a bit of peace and quiet and separation from the rest of the home. A garden room can be a great space for a home office or a hobby room where you can work in peace and quiet.
A ground floor extension
A ground floor extension is something that can give you lots of extra living space. If you want a larger kitchen or utility room for example, this is a great idea. Think about ways that you can make the most of the space too – for example, using bifold doors from somewhere like this bifold doors Cardiff based company //choicetradeframes.co.uk/bifold-doors/cardiff/ can open up the space to the garden and let light into your home.
A double storey extension
If you are looking to gain space both up and downstairs, then a double storey extension is the way to go. This is something that will give you additional upstairs space for bedrooms and bathrooms for example, as well as space downstairs.
A loft conversion
If you want to increase the space upstairs, then a loft conversion could be the best option. As well as not increasing the footprint of your home, it also often falls under permitted development, although you should check this!
