A multi-purpose space full of possibilities

Stacey explains: “We toyed with the idea of replacing the conservatory and changing the roof. Whereas now, we’ve extended across the back of the house making it so versatile.”
“We’ve hosted birthday parties and Christmas where we can all sit around one big table and have dinner, or play a game of Monopoly together.”
“I often use this room to have a bit of time out and peace and quiet. I might grab a book or a magazine, the kids might do a bit of gaming on the TV, or in the evenings, we use it as a cinema room – it really does give us so many different ways of getting the most out of the area that we have.”
Maximum daylight under control
To ensure the room was adaptable, the Odwells installed blackout blinds so that no matter what time of day or night it is, they can change their surroundings to better cater to their needs. “The great thing about the roof windows is that we’ve put blackout blinds on, so when it’s really light, we can shut it out as and when we need to.”
“When we were considering our extension, we really wanted to make sure that we had enough daylight in the existing kitchen, and by installing roof lights it’s definitely helped flood that natural daylight all the way back. It’s also allowed this area and the kitchen to be one big open space, rather than two individual areas.”
