The Best House Extension Designs to Renovate Your Home

We all need an expanded area inside our property at some point for different reasons. No matter the motive behind your house extension, you need a list of design ideas to suit your overall property. The design selection begins with comprehensive planning. A house renovation job will fail if there is no blueprint for the project available. The paperwork is another vital step that a property owner cannot ignore if a safe renovation job is desired.

Harrogate Builders is a renowned house-building company that has expertise in all aspects of new build extensions. Regardless of the extent of the extension project, we can turn your dream project into a reality. 

Let’s check the best house extension designs for a foolproof property renovation:

Redesign the Existing Rooms
As the extension job is done on an existing area, the property owner can easily reconstruct the attached space of the extension. The tailoring enables you to make the best use of the available space. Whether privacy is your concern or views, you can modify all.

Replacing a wall with a glass door for better scenery is as effective as moving doorways to integrate the new idea. 

Basement Extension
If you feel your home lacks an entertainment corner, this is the place to do it. The basement is beneath your home that usually remains hidden or unseen. When you want to be discreet with your leisure or relaxation spot, there is no better space than this. You may not need to add an extra room here. Just by renovating the existing area, you can give it a look of a storey.

Two Storey Instead of One
When space is a concern, this is the simplest solution to achieve your desired appearance. Get maximum value against your investment by adding a storey to the current house. It eliminates the need to extend your property width or square metre as the extension stretches upward rather than a side stretch.

Side Extension
When increasing the square metre of a property is not a worry or you have ample space available besides, a side extension is a way to go for. Whether you want to extend the kitchen space or are ready to give your cooking space a new design or want a new living space, this can be ideal to meet your goal. As modern interior designs often do not allow the accommodation of traditional designs, it’s best to stick to a contemporary layout. The best part of this extension type is that permitted development does not require planning permission if the house extension designs meet certain specifications. But let’s not forget that building regulations approval is necessary for all side extensions.

Rear Extension
If removing the rear wall sits well with your extension project, you have enough scope to get a new room. The purpose behind the extension does not matter. It can adjust to any room or space idea if the extension blueprint is flawless. Working with a team of experts is crucial for extension projects. The involvement of an incompetent team or professional can make the job stressful and costly. Handling a single-storey extension project is far simpler than other building types.  

Wrap Around Extensions
 It gives an L-shape to the property as a rear extension is merged with a side extension. It allows you to widen the living space on both sides. You can decorate the area as you wish, however, being purposeful with the decor is necessary. Otherwise, the room might look vacant. 

Bathroom Extension
A small bathroom can make the entire home messy. Lack of space in the restroom can force you to arrange the laundry room somewhere else in the house. By extending the bathroom, you can finish all your restroom duties here only. You can also install new bathroom fixtures or tools for better refreshment after a long, tiring day.

Garden Room
This is a fairly new concept that property owners are popularizing. A bespoke garden room can be your office space, playroom, reading room, study area or simply a relaxation spot. From kids to adults, anyone can repurpose the extra, unused garden space. You have complete freedom to design the space in your way. Install all the essential utilities and amenities in the new build for a comfortable experience.

New build extensions come with a set of requirements that we all must be careful of. Let’s look at the typical brief to understand the areas that need focus:

Budget

• Dispersed budget
• the higher you can stretch the upper limit

Reasons Behind the Extension:

• Unused garage, porch or basement area
• Need extended living space
• Require a new study room
• Kids need a playroom
• The cooking area needs an extension
• No guest room
• No kids room

 Family Needs also Play a great role in House Renovation:

• Parents living with you
• Grandparents moved in
• A couple and their kids
• Regular visitors

Before beginning a building extension, review the unused or poorly used space in your home. Investing in an extension is of no use if the loft remains non-functional. You can easily turn a loft or basement into a study room or play area without building a new room. Make the best use of all available space before renovating a house. Work with licensed and experienced builders or contractors to get the best return on your investment. Don’t compromise with the building material quality during new build extensions. There are plenty of house extension designs available that you can incorporate into your building or devise a new one.
