Natural light has an incredible effect on humans. It helps improve sleep, mood and alertness, boosts serotonin, enables our skin to make vitamin D and can improve cognitive functions. Exposure to plenty of natural light also supports good mental health. As such, we like to flood house extensions, loft rooms and garage rooms with as much sunlight as possible. To do this, consider incorporating features such as:
When it comes to artificial lighting, our local builders recommend opting for high-quality solutions with low glare, minimal flicker and a high Colour Rendering Index (CRI).
It’s not just natural light that’s good for us. Our connection to nature plays a crucial role in our wellbeing. To support this, bring the outdoors into the home with natural materials such as wood and stone, earthy colours and real or faux greenery. When planning your property extension, loft conversion or garage conversion, you might also want to explore products and materials with low toxicity and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
An organised, clutter-free home helps reduce stress and provides a relaxing space. Good organisation can also minimise the amount of time you spend tidying up. With this in mind, our local builders in Horsell suggest incorporating plenty of storage into your new space, whether it’s a home office, kitchen extension, new bedroom or bathroom.
Many homeowners choose to add built-in storage, which works especially well in loft conversions to maximise space under the eaves.
The comfort of your home has a huge impact on your wellbeing. To ensure property extensions, garage conversions and loft rooms are as comfortable as possible, our building contractors consider temperature, ventilation and sound. Quality insulation and heating help maintain perfect indoor temperatures year-round, while acoustic insulation and double glazing minimise outside noise. Windows, air vents and exhaust fans keep air fresh to support physical health.
