Designing kitchen extensions that become the heart of your home — spaces for cooking, entertaining, and everyday family life.
About This Service
The kitchen is the heart of the modern home, and a kitchen extension is one of the most rewarding investments you can make. Whether you're extending to create a spacious kitchen-diner, adding an island for sociable cooking, or opening up a cramped galley kitchen, a well-designed kitchen extension changes how you live.
More Space designs kitchen extensions across London, from compact side infills in Victorian terraces to substantial rear additions in suburban semis. We work closely with you to understand how you cook, eat, and entertain, then design a space that's both beautiful and genuinely functional.
Our kitchen extensions feature island layouts, vaulted ceilings with rooflights, integrated appliances, and seamless dining integration. We coordinate with kitchen designers and specialists to ensure the architecture and joinery work together as one cohesive design.

Combine kitchen and dining in one flowing space, perfect for family meals and entertaining guests.

Common Questions
A kitchen extension typically ranges from 15 to 40 m², depending on your needs and site constraints. A kitchen-diner with an island usually requires at least 25 m² to function well. We help you find the right balance between space, budget, and garden area at the concept design stage.
We design the architectural shell — the extension, glazing, lighting, and spatial layout — and coordinate closely with kitchen specialists who design the cabinetry and appliances. This collaborative approach ensures the architecture and joinery work together seamlessly.
Yes — even compact extensions can accommodate an island if the layout is well-designed. We typically recommend a minimum 1m clearance around the island for comfortable circulation. Peninsula layouts are an alternative where space is tight, providing island functionality without the surrounding circulation.
Layered lighting is key: rooflights for daylight, pendant lights over the island for task and ambient lighting, under-cabinet LEDs for worktop illumination, and dimmable downlights for flexibility. We design the lighting scheme as part of the architectural design to ensure it's integrated and cohesive.
