Lighten basement
basement rooms are in danger of appearing dark and gloomy, but do not let a lack of windows spoil the atmosphere. Here, a long thin panel in a style cathedral ceiling allows light from above. This light is reflected on the white wall and bounces in the rest of the room.
A similar technique can be used for rooms higher up, too, by the introduction of a glass base strip which allows the light from the room below.

Install a skylight
stairs can be notoriously dark areas of the house except if you are lucky enough to have a large window. One way to fight against it is to install a light glass roof like the one shown here. This adds height and drama to the stairs, and brings daylight through the house.

Experience with glass
another way to brighten up a staircase is to install glass railings. Tempered glass screening creates a spacious, bright and modern look allows natural light to penetrate all areas of landing and rooms below.

Enjoy return extensions aside
many Victorian homes offer the ability to add lateral extensions, which often become large kitchen and dining spaces. You can enhance the natural brightness of an extension by installing a bright light on the roof. Large transparent windows in the roof have a huge architectural impact, but if you are on a tight budget, a series of Velux-type windows are a great alternative.

Choose a wall that is not solid
You don 't have to block the light when the room creation divides. Crittall style glass walls are a great way to divide a room while letting light through.
You can also use glass blocks as a separation wall, which will not let much light through but will create more privacy. For bedrooms, consider hi-tech switchable glass that changes from opaque to translucent at the flick of a switch.

open items
large windows and doors that can open to the sky or the garden are a great way to let the light of day and, on warmer days, fresh air, too. This roof light opening on the kitchen makes the space feel as if it is part of a court, but simple, b ifolding doors to the garden are also very effective.

Add light reflective materials
Think about the materials you use in your home and look for those that help reflect light. bright white walls and pale neutral will bounce daylight and improve the quiet, spacious feel a well-lit room offering. Here, the polished concrete floor also helps bounce the sunlight.

Go crazy with mirrors
mirrors are a great way to create a feeling of more space and light. Do not use in the bathroom, but include a decoration here and there throughout your home. In this kitchen, the doors of the mirror device become almost invisible because they reflect the light from above and the surrounding area.

Create a passage of light from heaven in the basement
the large glass roof creates a wonderfully bright room. The glass floor also means that some of the light may be transferred to an otherwise dark basement below.
