Natural light for log cabins

Many people choose to build bespoke log cabins to enjoy a more natural environment, and to create a space where they can enjoy leisure time on their own private land.

One of the ways to make sure outdoor huts and gazebos are as comfortable as possible is to increase the natural light inside the structure.

One of the easiest and most obvious ways to have better light in a garden cabin room is to make sure it is located in an open area. Positioning and orientation are also important, and a south facing building is often considered to have more access to light.

Larger windows can also help more natural light to enter log cabins. If these are inserted into south-facing walls, they will allow light to enter throughout the day. Fixing windows with lighter curtains is also recommended, as these will provide privacy without blocking out too much daylight.

Adding a skylight will considerably impact the amount of light that can enter the building. Where good lighting is important for safety - in barbeque sheds, for example - this could be a fundamental addition. An open plan interior in hot tub garden rooms can also help sunlight perforate into all corners.

Finally, never underestimate the importance and impact of white or light paints to decorate the interiors of bespoke log cabins, since these are reflective colours.
