If you need more space but don't want to consider moving house, an extension or conversion is a good alternative. Building an extension, adding a porch, converting a loft, basement, garage or buying a conservatory are all good options. When building a home extension or conversion, it is important to hire an architect who will help you to plan the project and advise you about legal matters and regulations like obtaining planning permission. If you want a cheaper, simpler alternative, then installing partition walls in your home will create privacy and help you to organise your space effectively.
