Looking to transform your home with a kitchen extension in 2025? As the heart of your home, the kitchen is more than just a space for cooking—it’s a hub for connection and creativity. A single-storey kitchen extension is the perfect opportunity to bring personal style, functionality, and significant value to your property.
At Studio20 Architects, we’ve compiled our top 5 tips and tricks to help you create a stunning, future-ready kitchen extension tailored to your needs. Let’s dive into the trends and expert advice to elevate your project.
- Plan Your Kitchen Layout Right From the Start
Your kitchen is the centerpiece of your home, where the average adult spends over an hour daily! Starting with the right layout and design ensures a cohesive plan, eliminating the risk of compromising space or style later in the project.
Our designers work with you to align your kitchen layout with your overall extension goals, ensuring seamless integration of room size, lighting, and planning permissions.

- Maximize Natural Light for a Vibrant Space
Natural light transforms any kitchen extension into a bright, welcoming environment. Incorporating large skylights, extended glass panels, or glass doors can flood your kitchen with light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Why not consider:
- A glass orangery kitchen
- Floor-to-ceiling glass walls
- Elegant bifold or sliding doors
Natural light not only enhances aesthetics but also provides focused task lighting for cooking and entertaining.

- Choose Materials That Combine Style and Durability
Materials and colors significantly impact the overall look and feel of your kitchen extension. While light tones are timeless, adding contrasting features—like bold island colors or statement splashbacks in polished concrete or marble—can add a touch of individuality.
A bespoke kitchen may sound costly, but it’s an investment worth making. A high-quality design not only ensures durability but can also increase your property value by up to £80,000.
