How To Let More Light Into Your Home

February 23, 2018admin

Our Guide To Let More Light Into Your Home

During the winter months, dark days and very long nights can cause a lack of light. Instead of hibernating during these times, why not find the best way to let more light into your home.

St Helens Windows will help you to prepare your home to allow more light to enter during the winter months. Embrace the beautiful light and brighten up your homes.

Choose a Pale or Neutral Colour

When decorating the inside of a dark home or room, you should never just use white paint as this can make it look dull and lifeless. Try using pale colours such as greys, greens, and blues. These kinds of colours are perfect for making your room feel much larger and lighter. Add coloured furniture and accessories to add more interest.

Use The Natural Light

Try to use as much natural light as possible, this can be done by using blinds on the windows. Blinds being fully drawn open will allow plenty of light to flood into your room. Roller blinds that also tuck away can work really well, or for a more stylish feel go for inlined roman blinds. However, if you do decide to use roman blinds have them mounted in a way so that they can be drawn clear from the window to let all the daylight come flooding in.

Reflect The Natural Light

Use surfaces in your room to bounce the natural light around. You can use things such as glossy floors these are really good at bouncing the light around the room. Furthermore, you can use things like marble, glass, and mirrors. Painting items in your home with a gloss finish will help to bounce the light around throughout the day.

Use Lighting To Highlight Areas

Lighting used inside of homes is key for any interior. Using indoor lighting shouldn’t be just lighting up the entire room but rather picking out key areas in that room. For example by placing a ceiling light over a place that is interesting such as a dining table. Why not opt in for using 5amp circuits for all of your lamps and floor lamps. This will allow you to control the lighting from the switch on the wall. This is a great combination that will provide your room with a layered look.

Use Mirrors and Mirror Images

A great way of increasing natural light in your home is by using mirrors, this is an old-fashioned trick. Mirrors are a great way to bounce light around your home especially if positioned correctly. Place a mirror facing your window to maximize natural light.
