Simply Extend has completed many side return extensions over the past ten years, across London and the West Midlands. We have seen many different ways of designing and decorating your side return, and we have a handful of favourites to share with you!
This is an absolutely stunning side return extension that has even been featured in Real Homes magazine in March 2021! There are several standout features in this extension that make it so spectacular. The roof lantern brings in lots of bright natural light to the new dining space, made possible by the added width to this kitchen area. The exposed brick wall balances out the quirky pink and grey kitchen fittings, and creates a natural, exposed character which is interesting and fitting for a London home.

This side return in East Dulwich is clean and simple, creating lots of new space for this kitchen diner area. The statement feature in this extension is the bifolding door that spans the width of the property, completely opening this extension up to the garden space outside. We love how the exposed brick wall adds texture to the room, with the furnishings all having consistent bold colours to create a simple, uncomplicated appearance. The rich dark blue of the kitchen stands out against the white tiling and countertops, adding to this simple clean design.

The opposite of simple, this busy kitchen extension is packed full of colours and culture, with a flawless finished look. The dead space down the side of this property has been completely transformed to create enough space to have a wider kitchen with a central kitchen island. The storage options in this kitchen are incorporated into the fittings, with clever shelving for cookery books, and out of the way storage for pots and pans in the corner of the room. Unlike the previous side returns mentioned, this extension has patio doors on the rear wall, which help to create cosy dining space for this family home.

If you are looking for a quirky kitchen extension, look no further as this extension is packed with character and colour. We love the artistic splashback behind the countertops, and the pendant lights which hang over the kitchen island. There are many different ways you can decorate your kitchen extension with lighting options, as shown with the back lights behind the sink and the skylights over the dining area. No matter where you need light in your extension, you can choose from natural or artificial lighting options.

These are a handful of our top side return kitchen extension projects that the Simply Extend team have completed over the past ten years. We love seeing how our clients decorate their finished extensions and decide to use their new space.
