Extending your kitchen is one of the best ways to add space and value to your property. But it’s for the practicality where you’ll find the everyday benefits.

The quality of your kitchen can have a big impact on how much you enjoy cooking. If you have a small, cramped kitchen, you may not have the space to prepare the flavourful, ambitious meals you want to cook. An extension helps you to be more adventurous with your recipes. It’ll give you more room to store kitchen appliances, gadgets, food, and more space to prepare delicious meals.

Improve or Move?

Your first thought is probably to move to a bigger house in or around Derby where you’ll have extra space in your kitchen. But with the current housing market, more people are deciding to improve and not move. A kitchen extension in Derby can add real value to your property.

Many homes have untapped potential and space around the property to increase the size and improve the look. It allows you to stay in the area you know well and doesn’t mean a change of commute to work or potentially moving the children to a new school. Improving is definitely a good choice if you’re looking to add some extra space.

Getting The Look for Your Kitchen Extension In Derby

So, what do you want your new kitchen space to look like? At Trade Windows in Derby we have a partnership with local kitchens company, Kitchens Complete. Through our partnership we can give you inspiration for your kitchen extension, inside and out.

We recently refurbished our showroom to show you how you can extend your kitchen to get your dream space to cook, eat and enjoy time with the family. We have a kitchen extension on display right at the entrance of the showroom with all the latest design trends. Find out below a little about how our kitchen extension can inspire you.

An Orangery

The kitchen extension we have designed for the front of the showroom is an orangery. Orangeries are a really popular way to add space and light to your property. In fact, space and light are two of the main themes behind kitchen extension designs.

Orangeries are very similar to conservatories but with less glass. Yet they still bring lots of natural light inside. Instead of having lots of windows like a conservatory, an orangery is more like an extension and the doors and roof have a bigger role to play to bring the light inside. It’s the perfect setting for a kitchen extension in Derby.

Bifold Doors

Like we mentioned, doors have a bigger role to play to make sure lots of natural light can come inside. At Trade Windows our kitchen extension has some beautiful bifold doors. We love these aluminium bifold doors in grey. They look great, and offer plenty of design choice so whether you have a large kitchen extension, or a smaller extension, we have bifold doors to fit.

There are 32 opening styles to choose from with panels that fit together and open and close in a concertina effect. Bifold doors look superb when fully open in the summer and during the winter months, allow you to enjoy those sunny winter mornings.

Installing bifold doors to your kitchen is a great way to connect your kitchen to the garden and enjoy the sun whilst you sit down as a family or have a meal with friends. Speak to one of our bifold door experts to help with your kitchen extension project.

Skypod Roof Lantern

To add a spectacular finish to the roof of your kitchen extension, choose a Skypod roof lantern from Trade Windows. The orangery kitchen extension on the front of our showroom has an impressive three-bar designed Skypod fitted to the roof. As soon as you step inside the kitchen, the Skypod provides an impressive view of the blue sky.

Skypods are a top choice for any kitchen extension. They allow lots of natural light to flood inside, making your new kitchen bright and well lit. We have Skypods in two and three-bar designs, it all depends on your budget and the size of your extension. Skypods are available in a number of frame colour options to mix or match with the windows and doors on your property. Ask our showroom team for details.
