NATURAL LIGHT
Daylight is the key to a space feeling welcoming , relaxed and rejuvenating , and can often be the deciding factor for many when it comes to buying a property . Natural light helps us feel at one with nature , while also contributing to a healthy mental and physical wellbeing – we ’ re all craving a little calm and serenity right now . Increasing natural light levels within a space will instantly inject tone and depth , completely changing the overall feel of the room and there are several ways to achieve this , some easier than others .
“ When merging the outdoor elements with your interior , it ' s important to also think laterally , embracing the outdoor views and light from above can be equally as important as the space around you . VELUX roof windows capture the trees and green spaces surrounding your home while making the most of daylight in your home .”
Glass is the obvious place to start when searching for more light . Consider adding in a skylight ; particularly great when you don ’ t have much floor space to work with , glass rooflights are diverse and can fit in with any roof design . Other glass options include the obvious patio doors , but if you ’ re looking to maximise glazing stick to minimalist designs , and if that doesn ’ t fit the overall theme or is a little out of budget consider sun pipes or glazing bars . Otherwise go all out and add the addition of a glass staircase , courtyard remodel or a glazed extension – that will really have you feeling at one with nature . Reflective surfaces such as worktops , mirrors and flooring will also help to bounce light around the space , so be sure to choose wisely .
