How to Brighten Up Your House Naturally

Try to compare a house that is well-lit due to natural light than a house that is being illuminated by LED or light bulbs, which house do you think is more cost-effective?

Natural lighting is one of the most neglected factors that home buyers are practicing. Mostly, home buyers are just merely looking after the proximity to the basic needs such as school, groceries, public transport, hospital and others as well as if it can fit their family but not if they could save more for not installing LED light or bulbs.

If you let natural light illuminate your house, you can save from paying high electricity fees but you can also make your house appear spacious and lighter to every people who comes inside your house, but how can you do it? Here are tips on how to let natural light enter your home.

Mirror Effect

Well-placed mirror will reflect light that will make any room brighter. Some luxury interior designers would place mirror near the door to reflect the light coming from the outside.

Placing silver picture frames near the door and changing door knobs into polished gold door knobs would be a great help to get natural light net into your house.

Light Colored Curtain over Dark Drapes

We all know that most of the interior designers would prefer dark draping to insert chandeliers and other fancy stuff, but this has to stop. Chandeliers may look good, but thinking about the added electricity it will consume, is it worth it? Now, if you want to save, change the draping into light colored or sheer curtains. Light colored and sheer fabrics allows light to come easy that would radiate in the entire room.

Skylight Installations

If the room does not have any window such as bathroom or attic, installing Tubular Daylight Devices (TDDs) or mini Skylight can make natural light enter the room.

Put More Windows

Aside from limited light coming inside, heat will also get trapped if there are only few windows installed. The more windows the house has, the more natural light coming in plus the air will make the room more refreshing.

Lighter Paint

Some homeowners prefer a color-coded room like green for the kitchen, red for the bedroom, or blue for the living room – you can still do this, but choose lighter shade. Lighter paint does not make the room brighter, but it can also make the room appear spacious.

In choosing the house, you have to remember that even the slightest detail does matter. Having a good lighting will not just make your house bright but also accommodating to the people. Having a well-lit home means a lighter life.
