Having plenty of natural light within your home is essential for achieving a light and airy atmosphere, but you often have to make a few changes to the space to ensure as much natural daylight is filtering through as possible. Natural daylight can really help to enhance a space, bringing more colour and a fresh feel which can change the way a room is from an instant. There are many different ways in which you can maximise the light within your home, continue reading to find out how.
Introduce Roof Windows
By adding roof windows to your home, you are instantly creating more space for natural light to filter through. Whilst roof windows are ideal for creating a beautiful view, they also allow light to shine through from a new angle which will make a difference to the overall feel. From high-quality Velux windows like these, to Keylite roof window styles, you can find a suitable style and size window to suit any room, with durability guaranteed. From the moment you add your roof window to the room, you’ll notice a positive change in the overall look and feel.
Clean Windows Thoroughly
Many people believe that they have darker rooms in the home due to décor or house positioning, but it can often boil down to the condition of your windows. If your windows are dirty, this will prevent natural light from filtering through and create a dull feel within the room. If you think this could be the problem, it may be worth investing in a quality cleaning tool, like the Karcher WV1 Window Vacuum Cleaner, which is going to help you clean your windows properly and leave you with sparkly panes that reflect the natural light beautifully. It’s worth cleaning your windows every few weeks, dependant on the weather conditions. When the weather is really bad, you can get away with leaving them for a little longer as the rain will do half the job, but during summer windows can become dull and dusty much quicker.
Add Bi-Folding Doors
If you’re thinking that your room lacks light due to small windows or walls in the way of the lighting flow, then it may be worth looking at bi-folding door options. Bi-folding doors are a great feature to add to the home and they instantly add value to the space too. With huge glass panels and stylish frames, you can transform your existing space and bring much more natural light into the room at the same time. There are lots of bi-folding door options available, so it’s worth having a look around and seeing which options would suit your home best.
Position Mirrors Carefully
One of the most effective ways of enhancing the natural light within a room is to position your mirror in front of the window. Having a mirror on the opposite wall to the window will help to bounce the light around the room, creating added light that lifts the atmosphere and makes the room feel larger and brighter. Mirrors are the best way to brighten a room and also help to improve the overall aesthetic of the room, so they’re a must when it comes to adding more light to the space.
