We had them in the bedrooms of our old place (in Sydney), and they were a pain in the backside, actually I'd go so far as saying I hated them. Terrible in the mornings (woke the kids early, too bright), and terrible when it rained (it sounded like a drum pounding). Bel Still not in. Don't ask!? Re: Cold dark bedroom - Any tips? 16Jul 07, 2010 7:18 pm We painted our bedroom (in the old house) white. Even though it "brightened" the room it made it feel really cold. I think a light shade of a warmer colouyr may be better than white. When we repainted a colour it felt instantly warmer. Just my experience, others may disagree. www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Cold dark bedroom - Any tips? 17Jul 07, 2010 7:22 pm I had sky-lights in our old house and I loved them - one in kitchen and one in dining area - however I would have to agree with Bel that they are not suitable for a bedroom - you dont always want light in a bedroom eg when you are sleeping in or haveing a nap or sick in bed. I know there are some you can get with closable "vents" but I havent had one of those and I think they are a lot dearer.

Bel Exactly what I was going to say - I have to sleep in pitch black darkness - I couldn't think of anything worse than a sky light in a bedroom. What about an electric blanket too??? I have seen on the TV yesterday that there's a company that have just released electric throw rugs - they are made from polar fleece material - so i would think this would be a bit safer/healthier than the electric blanket option too?! Sleven Moved into our Atlantique MkII 36 by Carlisle Homes Re: Cold dark bedroom - Any tips? 19Jul 07, 2010 7:26 pm Thankyou for all these tips. I never thought of a mirror. It would be great during the day and when I close the blinds at night it should block out enough shadows that may spook her. I have a Nobo heater in my kitchen/eating area and I love it. I would put one in each bedroom but I have no wall space. I have good insulation (thanks to Rudd!), and I have tried rugs except her room is so small they clutter it up even more. But I never thought of carpet! When I put the floating floor down nearly 10 years ago I was so glad to get rid of carpet that it hasn't crossed my mind again. I'll see how the mirror goes before I get a skylight. Thanks guys. Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life.
