At RDK Civil Engineering, we understand the desire to create a home that reflects your growing needs. One way to achieve this is with a well-designed side return extension. Often more affordable than a full rear extension, a side return can add valuable square footage and completely transform your living space.
Here are some inspiring ideas to get you started:
Embrace the Light:

- Glass walls and doors: Flood your new space with natural light by incorporating expansive glass walls or bi-fold doors. This creates a seamless connection to your garden, bringing the outdoors in.

- Rooflights and skylights: Don't have a sprawling garden? opt for strategically placed rooflights or skylights to bathe your extension in natural light, even on dull days.

- Light and bright materials: Choose light-colored walls, ceilings, and even flooring to maximize the light's effect and create a feeling of spaciousness.
Maximize Functionality:
- Open-plan living: Knock down walls (if feasible) to create a free-flowing kitchen-dining area, perfect for entertaining or keeping an eye on little ones at play.
- Utilize the extra space: Consider incorporating a playroom, a home office nook, a utility area, or even a downstairs toilet – the possibilities are endless!
- Storage solutions: Built-in storage solutions along one wall can keep the space clutter-free and add a sleek, modern touch.
Design for Style:
- Matching or contrasting materials: You can either seamlessly blend the extension with your existing home's materials or create a bold contrast for a contemporary look.
- Statement features: A unique pendant light, a pop of color on an accent wall, or a patterned floor tile can add personality to your extension.
- Indoor-outdoor connection: Bi-fold doors that open completely or a decked patio area can blur the lines between your home and garden, creating a true indoor-outdoor living experience.
