Probably one of the most popular kitchen extension ideas are creating more of an open-plan kitchen space. This quite common in modern homes and a very popular renovation project for older homes.

Since we associate the kitchen as being the “heart of the home,” kitchen extensions of all types are often the number one thing people prefer to change about their home first and since we like to gather and socialize in the kitchen area, we naturally want to create a more open area for cooking, eating, and enjoying the company of friends and loved ones.

If you’re thinking of creating a more open floor plan for your kitchen area, you really want to make sure you get the layout right first and worry about design, fixtures, and other details later on. When determining layout, you need to be clear about the function of your space and what you want to extend or improve on.
