Extensions of the living and working space of your house are not only practical but also a stylish way that will add to a home design. The cost of house renovation can be considerable, although the Government has extended its HRI scheme until the end of 2018 with an income tax credit on qualifying renovation works provided they meet the agreed criteria.
Here are 5 ways of gaining more space which prove to be easy and moderate in terms of cost issues.
1. Try glass extension
Adding light will not only visually enlarge your house, but it also suits any type of property. In suburban area, it gives you garden and sky views. In a split level house, a modern extension by solid glass wall or a group of windows at a lower floor level increase the options for bringing in the light.
2. Introduction of a courtyard
Even in small courtyard projects the space delivered meets the challenges to improve the house from inside and out. Room extension, in this case, is often limited by garden plants, but even several square meters can bring in the beauty of nature. Don’t forget it can be done on a tight budget and designed to fit in almost any kind of space you need, from a bathroom to bedroom. The courtyard allows this to happen.
3. Convert your attic
Turn your attic into personal workspace or add an extra bedroom! Although the prices are high (prices vary in a bungalow or a standard 3-bed semi) it is professional builders help you need to make the new room safe and comfortable. An excellent idea for a big family longing for extra space. Just make sure you have enough room up there.
4. Dine with space
Why split the kitchen and dining room into two narrow rooms when you can create a generous space? Try courtyard extension with trendy materials like wood and concrete to fill the room with light. Replacing the walls between the kitchen and dining room with wood framed glass visually extends space. A considerably small investment can turn the dining room into a favourite place for your family and friends!
5. Create open spaces
You need to think carefully of how an open-plan bedroom – workspace or dining – kitchen – family room go with the design and work together to maximize every aspect of your plot, be it a house or apartment. Tips in creating an open space are in sticking to the plan. Do not hurry at the design stage if you want to produce the effect of complete house renovation. The key is in zoning different spaces, e.g. separate kitchen island and dining table from sofas and fireplace.
Many people think that architecture is something others get involved in and house extension is unaffordable for them. Note that for those ideas given above you do not need a complete house remodeling. Choose whatever part of the house you need to change first and do it step by step keeping extension costs under control. Here 30 things you have to know before starting house extension.
