GO GLASS

Introducing glass into your build will add an instant wow factor , and as far as extensions to the home go , glass has to be the most versatile . Often in older , listed properties , homeowners are using glass as an adjoining pathway , room or space , which produces a clever combination of contemporary meets tradition , while not detracting from the building ’ s original features . Not only that , glass additions work in the favour of planning officers - particularly handy for older buildings and linking places together . Any glass extension is going to flood the space with glorious natural light and in turn should work wonders on reducing electricity bills . Depending on the size and complexity of the glass addition , working with an architect or interior designer should be on the cards ; doing it on the cheap could result in a horror story and a leaking glass wall or roof .
For a design feature that oozes elegance , look into incorporating a glass balcony , which will be less costly than adding an entire new room and makes the most of the views - the perfect spot to sit , read or socialise .
