6 Ways to Improve Your House Extension

At Abbey Conservatories, we understand the importance of how to make your house extension worthwhile. House extensions have become a popular choice for homeowners in Reading and the surrounding areas because they are versatile living spaces that give you an influx of natural light. A house extension is also thermally efficient because the glazing will prevent natural heat.

You might be wondering how to enhance and decorate your house extension. Here at Abbey, we have many different options for you to consider. Here are some ways to increase your living space.

Create a Roof Extension

One way that you can increase your extension is to utilise the roof space in your property. The roof can bring the best out of your views because you will experience outstanding natural skylines. As a result, your home’s value will increase because of the extra light filled space in your home. It can be used as a bedroom or a study option, so you are able to appreciate the landscapes more.

A roof space is ideal for a bungalow as well because you will benefit from an outstanding view. The natural light will reduce the need for curtains as well because the light will increase vitamin D.

Double Glazing Increases the Home’s Flow

If you have an orangery, it will be made of brickwork. While this increases privacy, you may want more light to bring a brighter space into your home. Glazing is thermally efficient which means your home will be warm and cosy. At Abbey, our extensions are manufactured by Ultraframe. Our glass roofs come with as few tie bars as possible, boosting the panoramic views. It leaves space for wonderful skylines. Choosing structural glazing for the walkway is one way of connecting the house with the garden.

Extra glazing will create the illusion of a bigger living space. As a result, it creates a fantastic entertaining space. This is perfect for when you have guests over for a Friday night or a dinner party. In addition, you can keep the noise in because the glazing will keep the sound in, which is ideal when it rains.

Build a Kitchen in Your Home

If you have always wanted a social space that connects seamlessly to your house and garden, then a kitchen space is perfect. When you bring a kitchen into your home, you bring natural light, extra ceiling space, and natural heat. This will help save plenty of money on rising energy bills.

Bring beautiful plants in your home because they will give your home an upgrade. Especially if you want to create e a natural setting for your property. Bring a skylight above the kitchen island, which creates a focal point and natural light in the main area.

Add extra Lighting In Your Property

Another way to enhance your house extension is to make the most out of lighting. Ambient lighting such as a dim light will not only reduce your energy bills, but it will also create a cosy atmosphere that makes your space easy for guests to be in.

Furthermore, another option is to include ambient lights above your kitchen island for a beautiful feature in your home. A downlight will accentuate your room’s bright space, while a table lamp will bring out its traditional quality.

 Oak Beams Add Extra Charm

Wood brings a natural look to any home, which immediately boosts its character. It is able to enhance any room in the house, but if you are turning your extension into a living space, it will work well with a brown floor, matching its look.

This design structure will turn heads because it adds a rustic charm and boosts the traditional appeal if that is something you are going for.

Consider a Garden Room

If you want to experience the great outdoors, then a garden room will help you achieve this wonderful look. This will create a personal space, which is ideal if you want an office or a bedroom. However, you’ll still be connected to the garden, bridging the gap seamlessly.
