Lighting Up A Room By Adding A Window

Finished Look after Remodel

Finished Look after Remodel

I recently purchased a home and wanted to create more lighting in a very dark and drab kitchen. Being a licensed Real Estate Broker, I knew this would add value by allowing the kitchen to esthetically look better and allowing more light to permeate the space.

  Not only did it create instant light, it took the bare wall with tons of gap between the cabinets and the ceiling, and gave it instant ambiance. The room feels warmer and the accent pieces placed on the cabinets now glow with the added beams of light coming through the window.  It was worth the extra $1500 spent and will pay off more when I go to sell the house.

By simply adding a window or replacing a window in your home, you can increase your house value, create a stylish look, and enhance your interior design. While this window didn’t give me a gorgeous view due to it’s height above the cabinets it did dramatically improve the light in the space in turn giving the kitchen a much larger and brighter feel. I am extremely pleased and know it will pay off when I go to sell the home!
