How to add more natural light to your home.

WHITE WALLS

Painting your walls white is the easiest way to bring natural light into your home. White walls reflect beautiful light and are also a great way to make your home feel open, airy and create a sense of peace. Even a window that lets sunlight in can increase the amount of light coming through the white wall. Dark walls can make a space feel empty or claustrophobic. On the contrary, white walls open up the space and make it feel more inviting.

ADD BALCONIES

Balconies and patios are a great way to create doors for outside light flow. Homeowners can reduce their electricity needs by building a balcony or patio, allowing natural light to come in during the day. This not only reduces energy costs, but also improves the ambiance and beauty of your home. Our interior designers have written tips for giving your home a balcony look.

SKYLIGHT INSTALLATION

Another great way to bring in natural light is to use skylights. Roof windows are also called “skylights”. Since the skylight is facing up, it has the same number of panes as the middle window (where the sun is). Because skylights rarely reflect shadows from outside objects and receive sunlight directly from the clouds, skylights provide more uniform lighting than most windows. Roof windows are a great way to not only improve the lighting in a space, but also save energy by reducing the need for lighting.
