Dining rooms are so much more than a space to eat. They’re for entertaining, spending time with friends and family, sharing the events of your day, and even doubling up as a workspace. As with so many multifunction spaces in modern homes, great dining room extensions should support all these important aspects of your lifestyle – whether your home is large or small. Here are some dining room extension ideas to inspire your project, from our design and construction team in London.
Bold and Glamorous Living in Forest Hill
Dining room extensions can make a strong statement through bold design, as you can see in this dining room extension in Forest Hill. This is a large, full-width extension running along the rear of a terraced home that creates a spacious room for cooking, dining and entertaining. The industrial-chic look is achieved with gold accents, rich colours, and elegant Crittall-style iron doors that let plenty of natural light – along with garden views – flood into the space.
Everything a Family Needs in East Dulwich
In smaller properties, every square metre of space needs to be put to the best possible use, and this dining room extension in East Dulwich shows just how much difference a custom design can make! With a side return and rear extension, this terrace is transformed into a modern, stylish, and spacious entertaining and dining area. The extension is brightened and made more spacious through the use of large skylights, while the full-length bifold doors allow you to incorporate the outdoor entertainment space with the indoor space to make it even larger.
When it comes to family living, there’s no such thing as too much space. In this Richmond semi-detached home extension, you can experience the best of both worlds through shared space for dining, cooking, entertaining, and relaxing. It’s a space where everyone can come together without stepping on each other’s toes, where parents can entertain and keep an eye on the kids as they play. The two sets of bifold doors work to bring in plenty of natural light as well as expand this space right out into the back garden for easy family living.
Minimalist City Living in Haringey
Modern, minimalist, and welcoming, this Haringey kitchen and dining room extension shows how elegant, simple design can create space for vibrant living. This extension is just 5.7 x 5.2 metres but transforms the way the home is used, knocking down an old extension and adding character through exposed brick and playful modern kitchen design. Now with great flow out from the kitchen through the dining area and into the garden via large, glazed sliding doors, it’s the perfect space for a romantic dinner or a summer party with friends.
Dine in Everyday Style in Ruislip
Sleek and chic, this Ruislip dining extension offers an everyday escape from the ordinary, turning every meal into a luxurious experience. With large, glazed sliding doors, the timeless kitchen and dining space open out into the garden, bringing in beautiful views and natural light. Rich colours and thoughtful décor ensure that the space is warm, visually interesting, and has plenty of storage. Ideal for everyday use as well as large dinner parties, it’s a versatile and modern space that is an ideal home for families and entertaining.
Cosy Cottagecore in Colliers Wood
With soft pastel colours, shaker design elements, and stripped wooden floors, this Colliers Wood dining room extension has the cosy country look but the spaciousness of a large, modern home. With large rear sliding doors and skylights down the side return, this extension gets plenty of sunlight through the day while fitting in seamlessly with the original architecture of the terrace. This extension transformed the flow of the ground floor, allowing our design team to create a kitchen, dining room, and lounge area as well as creating coat space and a downstairs WC.
