7 beautiful oak-framed extensions
Whether it's extra space you're after or a warm environment to grow your beloved plants, an oak-framed extension could be perfect for your home, and this selection is simply stunning!
Oak-framed extensions are a fantastic way of improving your home by adding light, space and potentially increasing its value! Using oak as the foundation is an environmentally-friendly, natural and aesthetically pleasing option. Take a look at these stunning examples and you'll see why this versatile wood is so popular today...
Contemporary charm
This lovely open living space is perfect for entertaining guests. The oak structure and low-hanging beams add character while the stark white walls and spotlight lighting offer a modern touch.
Garden room
The bi-fold doors opening out onto the lawn mean that this room can fully embrace the outdoors in the warm summer months, while the sturdy brick fireplace offers a warm cosy retreat in the winter, the best of both! The multiple use of wood in this conservatory, from the floor to the frame, mantelpiece to side table, creates a natural, earthy vibe.
Floral fun
A glass roof like this one is traditionally a great way of being able to grow plants indoors at all times of year without being affected by the harsh outside temperatures. Allowing the light to pour in creates a greenhouse effect, and when pared with bright floral fabrics and an oak frame, it gives a real sense of being in the garden.
Seasonal space
Add value to your house by creating an extra room such as this dining area. Oak is an extremely hard-wearing and long-lasting material, and the natural woody perfume will make your guests feel as though they are dining outside on the terrace even in the depths of winter.
As far as the eye can see
If you have beautiful countryside views, you will want to maximise the window space to ensure they are visible at all times! This oak-framed structure ensures there is a seamless link between the interior and exterior, creating a natural window to the scenery outside.
Country casual
The owners of this conservatory have created a cosy seating area by combining soft reds with neutral tones. The beautiful cracked beams have aged naturally over time, adding a weathered charm to this room and enhancing the authenticity of this lovely wood.
