How much for a side-return extension?
Comments (4)Hiya, Can you please let me know who provided your quote. I am doing something similar but the quotes are coming through at 100k. Thanks Alicia...See MoreHelp, too much of a good thing: living room too large/too much light
Comments (18)Great apartment. I would agree with the previous comment about getting an interior designer on board, preferably one whom will pass on their trade discounts! I also agree with other comments re zoning, scale etc. I'd also decide what you want to do with the kitchen before looking at the rest of the room as it's a little awkward. I don't know if it would be possible to get a flue in the roof for a suspended log burner? Alternatively which I prefer (but would get a render done first!) is to have a double sided bioethanol fireplace finished in a polished plaster to add texture. I'm not sure what the 5 doors/panels are but could they be covered in a leather/shagreen leather again for texture and interest. You're lacking walls to add art so you could look at suspending double sided art from the ceiling (last pic just to give an idea!) or add sculptures on plinth/s or an art rug (if in budget Knots rugs do some fantastic ones). I'd also look at adding pendant lights. I'd also go for the same style blinds to what they have in place now. If you add lots of textures elsewhere then curtains aren't really needed and I'm not sure they'd enhance such a great feature. Perhaps look into solar window film to make the light more bearable and prevent fading? Does the balcony wrap around as potted plants would also add privacy?...See Moredo we lose too much garden with this extension?
Comments (13)If you are staying in this house and need the space I would say extend for what you need but make sure sliding doors etc so room will be an extension of the garden. We thought the same about our kids as they grew up , spent less and less time in the garden , and now it's mainly us sitting out or if they or their friends join us , or have a meal outside and a few beers Also our weather doesn't lend itself to much drying outside so a good utility room or even a pull down rack onto an outside wall is fine..Our remaining garden is 10.5 metres by 10.5 and with a good sized shed and loads of shrubs and planting , and we still have plenty of room for sitting out, a table and chairs and loads of space around. We have a line with connections to two walls that winds up so when you have people around your wet clothes aren't hanging around, and we had a climbing framed and slide for the kids until a few years ago when it went to a good home. I would say go for it!...See MoreHelp, how much will a side return extension cost?
