It may be a separate toilet, internal bathroom, laundry cupboard, […]

A pantry or scullery can make a kitchen work beautifully, but only if the space itself is easy to use.In many Matamata homes, these support spaces sit behind or beside the main kitchen. They may be compact, internal and highly practical. They may hold food storage, small appliances, preparation benches, a second sink, dishes, cleaning items, school lunch supplies, baking equipment or everyday household overflow.But because they are often tucked behind the main kitchen, they can also be dark.The main kitchen may receive daylight from windows, ranch sliders or open-plan living areas, while the pantry or scullery relies entirely on […]

The landing may sit in shadow. The lower section may rely on artificial lighting during […]

The entryway is the first part of the home people experience.It is where shoes come off, visitors pause, school bags land, coats are hung, parcels are brought in and the home begins to reveal its character. It may only be a small space, but it sets the tone for everything beyond it.When the entryway is dark, the whole home can feel less welcoming.In many Hamilton and Cambridge homes, the entryway does not receive enough useful daylight. It may face a shaded porch, sit behind a solid front door, connect to a dark hallway, or rely on borrowed light from nearby […]
