Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt the need to gain some more space back home. Whether it’s to have a bigger kitchen, an extra bathroom or just more legroom in general, most of us have, at one point or another, felt the urge to extend the space of our homes.

Well, if that is a real need for you, then scroll ahead to see 22 stylish ways in which you can add some extra legroom. This can take on a range of options, from a brand-new extension to a patio, or simply to enlarge an existing room in your house.

Whatever your space requirements are, we are sure there’s an option below that will fit both your needs and your budget!

1. Some glazing, a roof and ta-da: your own glass-walled room that can be used for almost anything from a conservatory to a dining area.

2. On the other hand, a simple overhang with some exterior furniture could also do the trick.

3. Glass and metal combine beautifully to form this contemporary-style extension.

4. Won’t a simple shaded overhang near the pool be just fabulous for pool parties?

5. If you want that extension to really stand out, make sure you opt for materials that contrast from the ones used in the existing structure.

6. If a link with outside is more important than anything else, we suggest you go with large bi-fold doors.

7. How about your own art studio / yoga room out back in the garden?

8. No need to opt for the most expensive materials you can find – a cheap (but safe) build can also work.

See our list of builders (and architects and interior designers and gardeners… ) here on homify.

9. No space in your current home for a dining room? By all means, build one!

14. Don’t forget that that new room will also need natural lighting; thus, add glass where you can.
