H1: My Top 5 Design Trends for Leicestershire Kitchen Extensions in 2026
The kitchen remains the core of modern living. As your Designer in Leicestershire, I help you move beyond trends to create a timeless, functional space. Here are the top 5 concepts I'm using for House Extension Design in 2026:
Broken-Plan Functionality: Using subtle changes in ceiling height, internal glazed screens, and bespoke joinery to define areas (e.g., kitchen, dining, snug) without losing the feeling of space.
The Utility Wall: My carpentry expertise allows me to design 'invisible' walls of storage and integrated appliances, keeping clutter out of the main space.
Local Timber & Materials: I favour using natural, locally sourced materials where possible, ensuring your Leicestershire extension harmonises with the local environment.
Integrated Lighting Design: Lighting is often an afterthought. I integrate it into the Architectural Design—from hidden plinth lighting to feature pendants—to enhance mood and functionality.
Seamless Thresholds: Minimising the step and maximizing the opening between your new extension and the garden, often using large format bi-fold or sliding doors.
