5 Kitchen Extension Ideas to Wow

Posted by David Gonyea on January 21st, 2021

Are you considering extending your kitchen to make it into the room of your dreams? If so, check out our five kitchen extension ideas to wow your relatives and friends and maximise your space.

1.    Bring the outside in with sliding doors

Why not bring the outside into your kitchen and dining area and one great way of doing so is with sliding doors. Sliding doors can be completely slid out of the way to open up the room fusing the outside and interior.

In the summer months, sliding doors can be slid open allowing plenty of fresh air into the room. During winter, they can be kept closed but plenty of light is filtered into the room and you still have a great view.

2.    Get more height with a pitched roof

If your ceilings are low, you might want to consider gaining more height by including a pitched roof in your kitchen extension design.

The pitched roof not only provides more height in the room, if you have skylights installed into it, ample light filters into your new kitchen.

3.    Go open plan

Why make just the kitchen larger? Have you considered going open plan and opening up the entire downstairs area?

By removing a wall and adding on a kitchen extension, you can create a light airy and modern look with the living room flowing effortlessly onto to the dining area and kitchen.

Meanwhile sliding doors and skylights will allow plenty of light into the room and bring the outdoors inside.

4.    Make the most of your garden or view

This is one of our great kitchen extension ideas for those lucky enough to have an exceptional view.

Most kitchens back onto the back garden but you might have an exceptional view, such as the ocean beyond to look onto.

Whether it’s your flowers and garden or crashing sea waves, you can make the most of the view from your new kitchen and dining area by incorporating sliding or bi-fold doors. You might also want to consider glass panels instead of a standard wall to make the most of that view.

5.    Have your own island

While you might not be able to afford to buy your very own tropical island, you can own an island. That is a kitchen island. Kitchen islands not only look great as a central point, but they also provide excellent additional work surfaces and can even be used as a breakfast bar.

Ask your architect and designer about having a kitchen island in your new kitchen extension design. Depending on your tastes, you might go for an industrial look, cottage look or a more up to date look. Whether you go for reclaimed wood, stainless steel or something in-between, you can show off your island for that wow factor.
