The room: KITCHEN Improve it: INCREASE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE

WHY IT’LL BOOST YOUR HOME’S VALUE…

 The best way to improve your downstairs space is to expand its footprint. A side return, single-storey extension or even a glass conservatory that can be added to the rear or side of a property will not only increase the space in the main living area, but can also improve the relationship between indoors and out.

 Outdoor space is also a highly prized feature that adds significant value to a home, so strike a balance between upgrading your liveable area indoors and conserving your garden.

 You may just need to improve your existing layout – fewer but larger rooms allow for clear sightlines and therefore make a space feel more generous and connected.

 A simple update can be a budget-friendly option that will make a huge difference and can be achieved by replacing tired door fronts, cabinets and any cracked tiles.
