Smart Design Ideas to Consider for Your Kitchen Extension

June 30, 2022

When it comes to designing your kitchen extension there are many things to consider; do you want a skylight or a glazed roof? Are you thinking of a kitchen island or a breakfast bar? These are all design ideas that will contribute to your ideal kitchen extension but it’s also important to consider the smaller design ideas that can also make a big impact.

Smart Storage

Storage spaces are the unsung heroes of the kitchen. The kitchen can become a place of disorder so convenient storage spaces can be a game-changer in keeping everything neat and tidy. With all kinds of appliances being regularly used and the kitchen as a social space of most homes, it’s easy for surfaces to become cluttered. Installing smart storage solutions allows for a clean, uncluttered look that makes the space appear larger. Choose from smart shelves that can also double up as a display feature in your kitchen, or opt for more subtle, convenient storage spaces, like integrated shelving in your kitchen island.

Integrated Refrigerators

The kitchen fridge can be a striking feature in your kitchen extension. If you’re looking for a sleeker, classier design for your kitchen then an integrated refrigerator may be the better option. Opting for a hidden fridge provides a uniform, streamlined look that ties the kitchen together. An integrated refrigerator works well for those looking for a contemporary style as it can be blended into any design. And with the fridge flush against the cabinets, the dimensions of the room are altered, making the space appear larger.

Tall Radiators

If you’re looking to ensure those finishing touches also contribute to your design, then tall radiators are an option to consider as they add dimension to your space. Working mainly as a design feature in your kitchen extension, a tall radiator can also work well in smaller spaces where a classic horizontal radiator may not fit.

Customised Architecture

Our architects can help you to design custom spaces in your kitchen extension. Installing a reading nook or an additional seating area that is tucked away is a great way of adding a hidden spot in your home for a moment of privacy. They also work well in social families that need that extra space for social gatherings or simply for larger families!
