Kitchens

The kitchen is still the heart of the family home and many homeowners want larger open plan kitchens. This is totally possible with a conservatory extension.

When planning a new kitchen design try to keep the boiler, plumbing and electricity where it is, as moving these will add additional costs that you can save by keeping them in the same place.

When it comes to adding furniture then consider up-cycling, a lick of paint on your old cupboard doors can totally transform the look of your room.

Try mixing and matching rather than buying complete sets. Sometimes there is no need to buy all new furniture and appliances look to see what you can up-cycle.

Dining Room

Having a place to entertain all year round is high on the home owner’s wish list and a new conservatory is an ideal room to host intimate dinner parties and celebrate family birthdays.

Play Room

With lots of natural light and the fact that the room is on the ground floor a conservatory designed for your children’s needs is a useful and functional play room.

Modern conservatories are useable all year round due to new glazing techniques used by manufactures so there's no need to worry about not using the conservatory over the winter.

Home Office

Sitting Room
