Do you have dark areas of your home? Do you wish they had more natural light in them? When your home has a lot of natural light, it feels open and inviting. Here are some ways to bring more light into your house.
Sliding Glass Door
Is your access to your backyard through a single entry door similar to your front door? If you want to bring more light into your home, you should consider changing your door out for a sliding glass option. The glass door will open the back of your home up and allow for a lot more natural light to come in. You can choose from various colors and types of frames, so contact a glass door installation Wappingers Falls NY service to get the process started.
Mirrors
Mirrors are an easy, affordable source to magnify the light in an area and spread it out. Placing mirrors mindfully in your home can even help the light from one area get into another part of the home. Mirrors are one of the best ways to bring light into a space outside of adding windows.
Glass Blocks
If you have a space where you want privacy but still want to bring outside light in, perhaps glass blocks would work for you. Glass blocks are popular in bathrooms, where you wouldn’t want to have curtains because of the excessive amounts of moisture in the air.
Make sure you work with a contractor when you want to install glass blocks because you’ll have to remove part of your wall to install them. They’ll have the tools and experience to ensure the glass blocks are installed correctly and insulated, so you don’t sacrifice comfort for the extra light.
Lighter Colors
Dark-colored walls, furniture, and curtains can make a room feel much darker than it actually is. Choosing light gray furniture can increase the light in a room and hide dirt and stains easier than white furniture. Additionally, paint the room in lighter colors to make it feel more open.
