Though quite possibly the most expensive idea on this list, investing in glazed doors for your kitchen or dining room is a great way of making use of the natural light that is available to you for free.

 

Whether you choose an external or internal glazed door, they are a great way of lightening up a room, and will in effect, help reduce your electricity bills as you will need to turn the lights on far less than before.
