How To Maximise Light And Space In Your Kitchen

According to Houzz survey more than a quarter of homeowners increase the size of their kitchens during renovations this reveals homeowners prioritise design, functionality, energy efficiency, increasing property resale value. Therefore rooflights are the ideal soultion for your kitchen.
The Heart of the Home
As kitchens and dining rooms take centre stage in family living, Flexible spaces are crucial in new builds and renovations. Today’s homeowners seek expansive, well-lit cooking spaces fostering family interaction and quality time.
If you’re considering a kitchen extension, you’ll need to request planning permission and think about how your spaces will flow. Create distinct areas for cooking, dining, and socializing, and use a central island to divide the room.
A kitchen extension will increase the overall square footage of your home and, ultimately, the value of your home.
Let the Light In
Rear house expansion may darken the new space due to isolation from outside. Rooflights offer an ideal remedy, infusing rooms with up to three times more natural light compared to regular windows.
Rooflights enhance daylight and can be a kitchen focal point, especially above a table or island, creating a captivating ambiance.
What type of roof light should I choose?
When picking a roof light, it’s important to think about size, shape, glass, and type. This ensures you maximize light, space, and energy efficiency in your kitchen.
Rooflight Design
