3. A Side Return Extension
Side return is another good alternative idea for extending a kitchen. While conserving garden space improves the connection between indoors and outdoors. The picture shows how a small galley kitchen can expand amazingly. The box window and roof lights make the room brighter.
Roof lights come in two types. The first one allows you to open it, while the other does otherwise.
You don’t have to install the former option if you frequently open the door and window. But it will matter during the winter when you don’t want cold draught flooding your kitchen through a large door and window. Therefore, opening roof lights are advisable. Besides, some roof lights have a rain sensor that allows them to open and close automatically.
