Bring the sunshine into your home with open plan living from Avanti

16th January 2020

Record-breaking temperatures have made many of us consider the importance of a cool home in summer. Let the experts at Avanti Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms create your all-year-round retreat.

Temperatures exceeding 30 degrees could become the norm in the UK and this will change the way we think about the layout of our homes.

Open plan living, which will be familiar if you watch lifestyle programmes such as Wanted Down Under, is now an option for many property owners who would like more space and a free-flowing feel.

Follow the trend with streamlined look


If you’re planning to upgrade your home, it’s worth bearing in mind that laws allowing larger extensions have been made permanent. You can build a single-storey rear extension of up to six metres for terraced or semi-detached homes or eight metres for detached homes without the need for full planning permission.

Now all you need is the experienced design and installation teams at Avanti to turn your open-plan vision into reality.

Bi-fold doors can bring the outdoors in all year round and you can continue the on-trend streamlined look with products including handle-less doors, all manufactured in Avanti’s own factory, and 12mm worktops – the normal depth is 40mm.

Our new Esprit door range offers a versatile selection of contemporary textured styles in 12 colours including navy blue and fjord green. Also available is our painted kitchen collection and hard-wearing vinyl range.

Avanti marketing director Jonathan Pearce is among many UK homeowners in the process of improving his home to incorporate an open plan vibe, which will add value to the property when it is sold.

Laws allowing larger extensions without a full planning application give you the chance to transform your living space. Avanti Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms can help turn that vision into reality.

Moving house can be a stressful experience but a recent planning law change means you can stay put, avoid the drama and create a stunning, free-flowing space.

Following their introduction in 2013, laws allowing larger home extensions have now been made permanent which means you can make plans to extend without a full planning application.

You can build a single-storey rear extension of up to six metres for terraced or semi-detached homes or eight metres for detached homes. Larger single-storey rear extensions can’t be more than four metres high and all extensions must meet building regulations and health and safety standards.

Creating a multi-functional, light-filled space

Avanti Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathrooms have almost 40 years experience of creating open plan living spaces which bind the kitchen with other rooms and the garden to create one large multi-functional, family-friendly and light-filled room.

Our designs allow natural light to travel all the way through the ground floor and provide you with a free-flowing, social space.

Of course, it’s a kitchen first and foremost but it can also be the focal point in the home – a place where friends or family can convene, chat and keep you company while you’re preparing and cooking food.

As well as looking bigger, open space provides opportunities for you to identify different zones using kitchen islands and breakfast bars.

It could also add value to your home if you do decide to move on in future.

Everything fits perfectly with Avanti

Based in the Black Country since 1981, we create high-quality bespoke furniture in our own factory and have an unrivalled reputation for delivering ‘right-first-time’ solutions that meet your needs in every way combined with outstanding customer care.
