If you need more room, you've probably daydreamed about adding an extension. Before you call in the builders, you need to watch the latest episode of the Real Homes Show, sponsored by Self Build Zone. We visit a beautiful kitchen extension to show you the five things you need to know before extending, from how much it'll cost to how long it'll take.
Also in this episode, we show you how to get the Mid-century modern look on a budget and explain what smart assistants are (and why you need one). We also reveal how much you need to spend on a toast – does a £9 toaster perform as well as a £100 one?
