6. Swap Solid Floors Or Ceilings For Glass (Image 6 of 11)
George says: 'Glass floors and ceilings make an amazing difference. It's really hard to describe, but I put them in corridors and circulation areas so you can get light beneath. In my house, the ground floor hallway between the kitchen and living room was dark and there was no wall space for a window there. So, I had a sheet of glass installed to replace a section of the ceiling of that hallway (so you could see right up into the room above). In that room above, there's a roof window, so light from there travels right down through the glass floor/ceiling and lights area beneath beautifully. It's not necessarily a cheap option, because the glass has got to be structural glass suitable for floors. But for small areas, it will create maximum effect and be money well spent. It also makes the architecture more exciting.'
