A window can be added to an internal wall, allowing you to still borrow the natural light from an adjoining room, but also use the wall space below for furniture. An internal windows will help the room to feel bright and airy, whilst creating a sense of connection between the two rooms, without being totally open plan.

Clerestory or highlight windows inside your home are another great way to borrow light from another room and to make a space feel larger than it is. Highlight windows naturally let you see the ceiling of one room continue into another, giving the illusion of a bigger space.
