If you have an extension built onto your home, the roof will be one of your primary considerations. You will also need to think about general home improvements and what you are going to do with the space. Here are some suggestions:

• Choose a practical roof type. Usually, a flat roof is going to be the lowest cost, most practical option. It will allow you to fit rooflights and solar panels if you wish.
• Make sure you maintain the roof over time. Look after it well so that it doesn’t spring a leak in your extension. Use a good material for the roofing.
• Choose furniture that complements the rest of your home. Make it feel like it seamlessly blends together.
• Consider purpose-built furniture. Custom wooden furniture might be the way to make your extension feel like a central part of your home. Choose a style that matches both parts of the building.
