Many people choose to extend their homes to make room for a growing family or to customise their space to the needs of their family. If this sounds like you, MY Carpenter Ltd is here to help you get the most from your extension. Below, we look at a few ways property extensions can be used to create the perfect family home in Basingstoke, Fleet or further afield.
If, after reading this blog, you’re ready to get your house extension underway, or want further ideas and advice, please get in touch with MY Carpenter. We provide fully managed projects, including extensions as well as various loft conversion styles and other building work.
It might seem like a small addition, but a boot room or utility room can make a big difference to your home. Just think: no more coats, shoes and bags cluttering the hallway. You can also include storage for things like umbrellas, wellies and dog leads.
Furthermore, your boot room can double as a utility room, with a washing machine, tumble dryer and space for a clothes airer, making family laundry a breeze.
Adding another bathroom can help avoid arguments and rushing in the morning. It also means people don’t have to go up and down the stairs all day. Furthermore, a downstairs toilet is much more convenient when potty training toddlers.
Guests visiting your Fleet or Basingstoke home can also make use of a downstairs bathroom.
Property extensions are ideal for creating more open layouts, especially when combined with further interior alterations. An open-plan space is more sociable and can make it easier to spend time together as a family.
The open layouts created by MY Carpenter are also flexible to the diverse needs of the family and can quickly become a hub of the home.
Parents need their own space where they can relax. This should be an adult space free from toys and other children’s items, and a master suite is ideal. This could be a bedroom with an en suite, walk-in wardrobe or both. You could also opt for a lounge area.
A master suite gives your home dedicated areas for children and adults, helping to manage stress and well-being.
Families in the Basingstoke and Fleet areas could also consider these extensions:
