Natural Vs. Artificial Lighting
Lamps and overhead lights have their place in creative work, allowing you to direct light levels in a space, especially at night – but a lot of hobbies require an even spread of natural lighting. Activities such as photography, painting, and even writing can benefit hugely from pure daylight. Exposure has been shown to boost mood and energy levels, and from a monetary standpoint, natural light is free.
Inadequate lighting can lead to eye strain and fatigue, especially in hobbies that require precision and detail, and this lack can dampen the overall ambience, making spaces feel less inviting and stifling creativity.
What a Warwick Garden Room Can Offer
Using our online configurator, you can design your garden room to maximise natural light, incorporating several key features such as:
- Strategic Window Placement: You decide on how many windows your garden room has and where they are situated. We offer a range of uPVC casements that can be added and taken away easily within the builder.
- Glass Options: We offer a variety of glass options, including double and triple glazing across all our uPVC windows, as well as internal blinds for certain glass doors. These choices enhance natural light entry, offer you much more control, and make your garden room comfortable and usable all year round.
- Orientation Customisation: Understanding that the direction a room faces can significantly impact the amount of natural light it receives, we recommend assessing your garden with the help of our experts. We can advise you on the best orientation for your new garden room, based on the specific location of your property.
These design elements collectively enhance both the functionality and ambience of the garden room, so whether you are a painter needing true colour representation or a yoga enthusiast seeking a tranquil, sunlit space to unwind, our range of garden room designs is ready to be tailored to you and your hobby of choice.
