My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dark corner in my kitchen

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

I have a corner in my kitchen that is dark and the spotlights there make shadows at the top of the wall.There will be a round table in that corner but no cabinetry.Theres no windows there.There are 2 windows in the room that give great natural light and 12 down lights.
How can I brighten that corner?
