Let there be light

In addition to whatever natural light you’ve gained through adding rooflights or windows, bi-fold or sliding doors to the garden, factor in multiple types of electric lighting. You can include overhead spotlights; task lighting over worktops, sinks and hobs; pendants hung low over dining tables and breakfast bars; LEDS beneath units to light up surfaces or floors; or display lights in cupboards. Plan in separate lighting circuits to operate the different types of light individually, and make some dimmable for ambience.
