Just extended my dining room into the kitchen area and installed bi fold doors. I want a clean, contemporary look. Would white walls similar to these options look good throughout?

Comments (6)Horses for courses here I think. Where an extension to a traditional building is at rear ground level, I have no strong preference as between traditional materials, conservatory, or glass extension - and am planning a glass extension to the back of my Victorian house. Once you get higher up, or with something visible from the road, then I am strongly in favour of the traditional look with as much care as possible being taken to make the extension look as if it was always part of the building. I am aware that "reproduction" is sometimes considered a rude word, and also of the school which considers good modern design in an extension preferable to reproduction, and tends to equate glass with good modern design. In my view, that is not always the case. As a rule of thumb (but subject to the requirements of the particular site), I would prefer to see modern design in clearly visible extensions to older buildings confined to larger, usually non-domestic, sites....See MoreExtension Above Kitchen Extension Planning Permission Right To Light?

Comments (1)Hi, Sometimes constraints are not real. Please reconsider each of your perceived constraints in turn. For example if a window cill is too low to put a kitchen counter in from of it. Then consider actually putting the kitchen unit in that place, but have a step down beyond the counter with a decorative backing board (seen from outside). Likewise reconsider each and every space in your home as the possible location for the kitchen... best wishes...See More

8 years agoGreat extension and a great touch on the bi folding doors. They can be expensive but worth it in the end when it brings the outdoors indoors.
We voted for the white floor image as a the lighter the floor the more illusion you have of space. It would make it very light, airy and spacious looking.
We hope you enjoy your new 'room' and make the most of it
