Home extensions can add value and appeal, but there are so many choices to pick from. Here are some of the trends for 2025 that may help you narrow down the options.
Bespoke projects
Bespoke home extensions Stroud and elsewhere in the country are big news. This is because experts such as precisionbuildersltd.co.uk/services/home-extensions/stroud/ are increasingly being called upon to help people achieve extensions that can fulfil their requirements and reflect changing lifestyle needs. It was once the case that extensions were primarily for expanding kitchens or adding bedrooms. Today, however, you may want an extension to add anything from a grandparents’ annex to a home office or gym.
Compact extensions
You don’t have to have masses of space or a huge budget to enjoy the benefits of home extensions in Stroud or elsewhere. Compact extensions are currently very popular, drawing on the expertise of architects and builders to come up with space-saving and budget-maximising plans. Popular projects include small kitchen and dining room expansions and the addition of such things as mini larders or breakfast pantries.
People are also choosing to maximise space by creating roof gardens and terraces on top of one-storey extensions, especially in urban areas where outside space is at a premium but people still want to enjoy the benefits of gardening or simply being outside.
Colourful extensions
Colour made a comeback in 2025, with more people shunning neutral extensions in favour of colourful walls, flooring, and even joinery. Colourful splashbacks and fittings were in demand from home extension specialists.
