A kitchen without natural light is like a dish that lacks spice, it has no flavor. The kitchen is not only a place to prepare food, it is the centerpiece of the home where family and friends meet, discuss and have fun. But is spending all these good times in a dark kitchen, without natural light, really good times?

What are the barriers to natural light in the kitchen?

Natural light in a kitchen is often put aside because it is not prioritized in a home. The kitchen benefits from natural light thanks to its opening into the living room in the case of an open kitchen. But the closed kitchen is often a narrow room with a small opening, making this kitchen dark. To this situation, there are several solutions:

Design your dark kitchen to let in natural light, from painting to construction

A first solution is to paint your dark kitchen a light color such as white or beige to increase the natural light. If you want to bring bright colors into your dark kitchen to add warmth as well, the wall facing your opening alters the brightness of the room the least. To keep the harmony of your dark kitchen, which has become full of life thanks to the natural light, always paint two walls that follow each other.

The design of a room, especially your dark kitchen, is also a solution to gain natural light on a daily basis. In fact, removing clutter and moving a piece of furniture in your dark kitchen already lets in natural light where it had no access before.

This other solution requires an investment as well monetary as in the question of time. Removing a partition, enlarging your dark kitchen, building an opening, another opening, or opening it on the living room to free access to natural light. It is a complete transformation of your dark kitchen to get natural light from another room, or from an additional window.
