Adding skylights:

Adding skylights to your home offers a great means of bringing in natural light and creating a bright, airy space. You can install skylights in various locations, customising them to match your style and budget. Skylights bring in 20% more natural light than a window and suit deep planned buildings.

They can also regulate your house’s internal temperature if you can open them to create a through breeze. Just remember to consider their placement concerning the sun to avoid causing overheating issues.

Install windows:

Windows are the most obvious way to bring natural light into your home, and there are several types of windows to choose from. Large picture windows can offer framed views and allow for plenty of light to flood into the room. As with rooflights be mindful of the orientation of your property. If it gets the afternoon sun it’s likely to get hot in the summer months. You can either limit the glass in these locations or look into solar control glass as a way of minimising heat gain.

Use glass walls:

Glass walls are a contemporary architectural feature that can help you bring in natural light while creating an open, modern space. additionally, they are ideal for homes with beautiful outdoor views and can be used in various areas, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. The renovation project showcased here carried out in collaboration with IQ Glass demonstrates how a glass wall was used to create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

Choose Light-Reflecting Materials:

When designing your home, consider using light-reflecting materials, such as mirrors and shiny surfaces, to help amplify natural light. For example, a mirrored wall can create the illusion of a larger space while reflecting natural light back into the room. The renovation project here demonstrates how mirrors and reflective surfaces can be used to create a bright and luxurious bathroom.
