Rooflights
Team square with skinnySkylights obviously perform a functional role, by letting light into a room, but they can also be installed for mainly aesthetic reasons. This narrow skylight does little to boost light levels, which are already well taken care of by the window and larger skylight, but it adds a nice design detail to the ceiling and softly illuminates the shelving below.
Light was a key part of the design, both natural and artificial. The kitchen has two skylights, and in each is a little shelf with concealed LED strip lighting around the perimeter. ‘Roof lights tend to be rather dark and horrible at night, but you can light them up and create a sort of halo on the glass,’ says Chris. ‘They even light up the brickwork on the first floor.’LED lights under the wall cupboards illuminate the worktops, and recessed spotlights around the room provide a good level of general light. Secto pendants above the island and dining table in different shapes add interest to the lighting scheme and detail to the room. Get tips on lighting your kitchen for maximum impact
