12 extension design features that are totally worth the money, according to the pros

Open plan kitchen diner extension with natural wood and white units and large swatches of glazing to the garden.

Whether your heart is set on a sun-soaked kitchen-diner or a cosy new snug for the kids, extending your property provides a golden opportunity to create the space you need and add value to your home. Another benefit of enlarging your property is that it gives you the chance to craft a tailored space that oozes personality and design flair.

Even if you are working with a tight project fund when building an extension, it’s worth bearing in mind that wow-factor design features aren’t necessarily limited to the realm of big budget schemes. Dedicating plenty of time to refining the design details at the start of your project will pay dividends later, as it’ll help you maximise every penny you spend, whether you are building a single storey extension, or opting for a double-storey addition instead.
