A couple who purchased their dream house during the Covid-19 lockdown have revealed how they created fake skylights in their home.
Chloe Grayling and her tradesman husband Patrick, from South Australia, transformed their dark and gloomy cottage hallway into a bright space after installing a solar-controlled illume system they bought from Bunnings for $355 each.
The pair saved a fortune by opting for a DIY alternative - as a traditional skylight in Australia ranges from $378 to $1,200 per skylight depending on the model - while costs for professional installation are priced between $300 and $600.
After installing the two skylight alternatives themselves, Chloe shared her verdict on social media after she was impressed with the glowing results.
