Home Renovation Projects

It isn’t uncommon for a family to require a larger sized house as the size of their family increases. What used to suffice in the way of space with just the two of you is no longer enough. There comes a time when a little more space is needed to give yourself some breathing room says Matt, the owner of Custom Outdoor Living who declares they are the best pergola builders in Melbourne.

A little bit more about the company. Custom Outdoor Living specialise in small home extensions in Melbourne, VIC. They are only able to offer single storey extensions so if you’re looking for your upstairs bedroom to be extended, you’ll have to go elsewhere.

They have over 20 years of experience building a wide range of designs to help you achieve that much desired alfresco lifestyle. Why not take advantage of Australia’s climate! You can find out more about why Custom Outdoor Living come highly recommended.

One of the most common solutions to this problem is to extend the property by way of a home extension. Whether you choose to extend your bathroom, kitchen or living room, it’s a very effective way to increase the feeling of internal space.

Here are some great examples of extensions to give you some ideas of the results you can achieve.

7 Australian Homes with Spectacular Backyard Extensions

On many days, it feels like every family in suburban Australia is renovating their house, or more specifically, commissioning a stellar backyard addition that transforms the existing dwelling in beautiful, surprising ways. According to Melbourne-based architect Andrew Maynard, a veteran of these sorts of projects, 60 percent of his studio’s projects are now extensions.

In a 2009 interview with Sanctuary Magazine, an Australian sustainable home-design publication, Maynard said Aussies are “addicted to renovations and extensions.” And judging by the frequency at which these backyard additions are popping up Down Under, it seems that particular addiction has not subsided.

Expanding your property can transform your home into something you fall back in love with.
