Creative and Functional Extension Designs to Transform Your Home

Your home is more than just four walls—it’s where life unfolds, memories are made, and dreams take shape. But as your lifestyle evolves, so too must your living space. That’s where extension designs come in. Whether you need more room for a growing family, a modern open-plan kitchen, or a dedicated workspace, a well-thought-out home extension can completely transform the way you live.

At Plans2Extend, we specialise in turning ideas into functional, stylish, and fully compliant extension designs that suit your needs, budget, and planning requirements. Let’s explore how the right design can make all the difference.

Why Invest in a Home Extension?

There are plenty of reasons why homeowners across the UK are choosing to extend their properties instead of moving:

• Increased living space: Ideal for families that need more room without the stress of relocating.

• Added property value: A well-designed extension can significantly boost your home's market value.

• Customisation: Tailor your home to your lifestyle, whether that means an office, a sunroom, or an open-plan layout.

But to truly unlock these benefits, the key lies in expert extension designs.

Types of Extension Designs We Offer

At Plans2Extend, we understand that no two homes—or homeowners—are the same. That’s why we offer a range of bespoke extension designs tailored to suit your property type and personal preferences.

1. Rear Extensions

A rear extension is perfect for expanding your kitchen or living area into the garden space. It creates a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor environment, making it ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. Our team ensures the design is sympathetic to the existing structure while maximising natural light and space.

2. Side Return Extensions

Common in terraced or semi-detached homes, a side return extension fills in the unused alleyway at the side of your house. While this may seem like a small change, the additional width can dramatically enhance your kitchen or dining space, especially with a smart design that includes skylights and bi-fold doors.

3. Wraparound Extensions

Combining both rear and side return extensions, wraparound designs offer the most substantial increase in floor area. These are ideal for creating expansive, multifunctional spaces. Our architects ensure these extension designs are not only beautiful but also meet local planning regulations and structural requirements.

4. Double-Storey Extensions

For those who need both upstairs and downstairs space, double-storey extensions offer excellent value for money. You can add an extra bedroom, bathroom, or even a master suite. Our team carefully designs these extensions to integrate seamlessly with the existing elevation of your home.

Our Design Process

At Plans2Extend, our process for creating stunning extension designs is smooth, transparent, and collaborative.
