One of the best ways to ensure that an extension feels spacious, welcoming and bright is by inviting more natural light into your home. Whether you’re adding a home office, extending the kitchen or building an addition to your living area, these thoughtful design ideas can inject personality and modernity into spaces.
Go Big on Glass
Modern extensions often feature large windows, bi-fold or sliding doors and even complete glass walls. In addition to casting a flood of light into the space, they further serve as an imperceptible link between your garden or patio. Opt for frosted or patterned glass if privacy is an issue.

Add Skylights or Roof Lanterns
Skylights and roof lanterns are great for bringing light further into the room, especially if your extension is single-storey or a flat roof. They can be particularly helpful in areas where traditional windows are not feasible.
Keep Interiors Light and Bright
Opt for light colours on walls, ceilings and floors to amplify the natural lighting. Shiny kitchen cabinets or tiles can also reflect light to further brighten the space.
Open Up the Layout
If you have an open plan design, light can travel further which is especially the case if there are no or minimal internal walls and instead glass partitions (doors) so it seems seamless.
Think About Orientation
Place windows and doors handiest in which they will acquire the quality daylight all through the day. In the UK, south-facing windows receive the most direct sunlight.
A well-lit home extension isn’t just nice to look at but is also more sustainable, mood-enhancing and makes your days that much brighter.
