A dull, dreary-looking house is bound to look visually unappealing and uninviting. While many homeowners benefit from the bounty of natural light, if you don’t have plenty of windows, you may feel like this is an option not in the cards for you. Although lots of windows will simplify this, here are a few ways that you can have a lighter and brighter home when you lack plentiful windows.
New Windows
If you are open to a construction project, replacing your old windows or adding new ones can be an advantageous option. With the beauty of new accent windows, more energy-efficient options or larger-sized windows, this opens up your home to the beauty and wonder of natural light.
Mirrors
If you don’t have the option to increase the number of windows you have, adding mirrors can instantly brighten a room. The reflective surface can bounce light and boost the look and feel of a room with ease. Not to mention that mirrors also boost your aesthetic appeal.
Different Levels of Lighting
If you are only relying on one type of light, this may be an area where you are going wrong. You need to incorporate different types of lighting. Having ambient, accent and task devoted lighting elements by incorporating everything from floor to table to ceiling lighting fixtures and lamps can give you the ambiance and aesthetic appeal that you have always wanted.
LED Lights
While you may be using traditional lightbulbs, replacing those with LED bulbs can be a smart choice. Not only do these cast a brighter and often less jarring glow, but they also can last longer and are more energy-efficient.
Brighter Wall Color
If your home is lacking in personality and vibrancy, add some color. Whether you choose a lighter and brighter palette or something with a bold, cheery pop of color, it may be time to brighten up your walls.
Illuminating your home can bring a whole new life to your home. Don’t live through a dreary living situation when a little bit of light can make all the difference.
