Want to add natural lighting to your home? A pivotal way to do this is by adding roof lights/skylights. Adding roof lighting lets you fill your home with natural light – brightening up drab corners and dark spaces, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Not only do they allow more light into previously dark spaces, but they also create architectural interest and improve energy efficiency due to their insulating abilities. Best of all, by keeping the existing structure of your roof intact, you will reduce any disruption or mess associated with a massive renovation project.
So why not consider enhancing your home with stylish and contemporary roof lights? You’ll be amazed at how much difference it makes and what an excellent solution roof lights are.
Painting your house in lighter colours can be a simple and relatively inexpensive way to increase the natural light in your home. There is also the option of high gloss paint which will do wonders when it comes to making a room look brighter and providing a polished finish.
The lighter the shade of paint, the more likely it will reflect light back into your space, which is obviously the opposite for darker rooms. Consider white walls or pale blue to bounce light around, eliminating shadowy corners and creating an airy feel.
Don’t underestimate how much brighter and spacious a room can feel with lighter paint on the walls – it’s a surefire way to transform the atmosphere of any room and increase natural light flow throughout. If you speak with a qualified painter and decorator, they’ll have expert advice on painting your home and achieving your goals.
Adding mirrors or a reflective surface to your home is an easy, inexpensive way to add a fair amount of natural light into any space.
Strategically placing mirrors will help deflect and refract sunlight, making any room feel brighter, more expansive and more inviting. Additionally, strategically placed mirrors can be a great way to add dimension and depth to the walls of any room. Whether it’s a large wall mirror over a fireplace or several smaller accent mirrors sprinkled around the room, no home décor project is complete without adding some reflective surfaces!
Home improvements like creating more space with an open-plan living area are a great way to maximise natural light and transform a space from a small room with little light to a big open area with as much light as possible.
From natural sunlight streaming through the windows and glass doors to fresh, airy views extending beyond your home’s walls, natural light has the power to instantly brighten the atmosphere and bring positive vibes into your daily routine.
Doing this and including the other three steps, like roof lights, strategically placed mirrors and light-coloured walls, you are sure to increase natural light coming into your home.
We all want the comfort of our homes to be as cosy, bright and filled with as much natural light as possible. Today is a great day to take a step towards creating this feeling in your own house and bring light in!
