One design decision gave this kitchen 78% more storage without extending.
Most homeowners think they need an extension when their home doesn't work for them.
But in this project, one design decision increased their kitchen storage by 78% without adding a single square foot.
What was the decision?
đĄWe switched the position of the kitchen.
The original layout forced the kitchen into the wrong part of the room, limiting storage, interrupting flow and wasting valuable wall space.
đBy relocating the kitchen to a more functional position within the exact same footprint, we were able to:
⢠Increase storage by 78%
⢠Create better flow between the kitchen and dining area
⢠Add more usable worktop space
⢠Make the room feel bigger and calmer without extending
Same house. Same square footage. Completely different way of living.
This is why reconfiguration should always be explored before considering an extension.
