Kitchen Extension IdeasLearning from the Old to
Create the New
Once
you know what dimensions you’ll have to play with, it’s important to make sure
that you use the space to its best ability. House
extensions Essex-wide can benefit from a few simple tips and tricks when
it comes to creating the perfect kitchen extension.
A
good place to start when it comes to your new kitchen extension is to work out
what you love and what you loathe about your existing kitchen.
Do
you love the amount of natural light the room has but hate the lack of
workspace? Or perhaps you like the overall layout of your existing kitchen, but
perhaps wish you could have more space so that you can supersize your inbuilt
appliances?
Once
you’ve worked out these factors, you can then work with your house extension
company to maximise the things you love and minimise the parts that you hate.
How will you use the Space?
Next
visualise how you want to use the new space.
Will
it be solely for cooking? Or do you want a dining area too? If you’re including
a dining area, will you use this for all family eating and entertaining, or
will this just be an informal dining space? Do you want to incorporate some
living space too, such as a sofa or a family nook?
Your
answers to these questions will determine how far you’ll need to extend (space
permitting) and how the design of the room will be altered to accommodate these
needs.
Kitchen Extension Ideas
Once
the basics are in place, you can get down to the fun part of planning the
layout.
The
basic ‘triangle’ concept of any kitchen works well no matter what the size of
the room. This is where the most utilised appliances are positioned in a rough
triangle shape for ease of access. These appliances are the cooker/hob, sink and
fridge. Think about placing these elements first before adding other desirables
in.
We
would also recommend an island unit wherever space allows, just because these
act as a multifunctional space for food preparation and socialising. And why
not add a few statement pieces such as pull out larders and wine fridges if
these take your fancy?

you decide to use your new kitchen extension space, a good house extension specialist
