    We have builders starting next week to replace two small velux windows in the kitchen extension with one big long feature window

    Can I ask what price this part of the job is costing? We are looking to get something similar done.

    You need a CoeLux :Phttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ4TJ4-kkDw

    Lightening is very hard to get right. People often get colour and colouring rendering index choseon incorrectly.


    Was excited to see this option but then found the cost!!!! 40k+??? For an artificial skylight?! Have you seen one insitu? Surely cheaper to knock out a wall and stick in some glazing?

    Can you get a velux into the attic?
    You spend hours a day up there.

    I'd sort it first and quick.
    Will improve your humour.

    Dehumidifier in short term when youre out.
    Look to sort the damp asap

    A row of double velux are great. You can even get a velux with a mini balcony on it!

    Paint the house interior with lighter colours.

    Repaint kitchen units

    Get rid of curtains, blinds are the way to go.

    Declutter furniture.

    Get cheap outdoor seating to start using and enjoying the garden space

    Change front door to allow more light in

    I know a good architect who's also a qualified interior design architect. Give me a pm

    Was about to say it's an interior architect who will really help in this scenario. Doesn't sound like OP needs more space, just needs to use the space more effectively.

    Cheaper to rethink layout carefully than build a huge extension. Even if you just talk to a good interior architect and get a feel for their ideas, you don't have to actually proceed with anything. The suggestion of an architect who's also an intetior architect sounds great.

    I've sold two houses because I didnt like them. I look back now and I'm glad I no longer live there.

    I don't have a breakdown of costs but to get the back door replaced, the velux windows replaced with the big pane of glass, pocket doors installed, a kitchen island built and our flooring replaced (we bought the flooring) is around 12k
