Kieran McCarthy: Choose light, choose sunshine, choose good design

How your home aligns with the sun can have a huge affect on the experience living there

When it comes to design, the most important element is orientation. Make sure your kitchen, dining, living areas get access to as much southerly light as possible. So ideally south east in the kitchen for morning light, south in the dining and even south west in the living areas and patios.

Hi Kieran,

This is more of a general question/comment really but maybe you have an opinion on it or can shed some light. Why do so many people spend a fortune building homes that still feel cheap?
