Use these helpful tips to improve your lighting.
Finding an apartment you like, let alone one with adequate lighting, can be challenging enough. But, just because your apartment has small or few windows doesn’t mean you can’t get natural light. You can use additional methods and tactics to improve the amount of natural light in your apartment. With that said, let’s take a further look into these helpful methods to enhance your lighting.
Remove Excess Items Away From Your Windows
Before you do anything else to optimize natural light, make sure that each window is not obstructed by anything else. Windows should ideally be visible from every position in the room. Tall or bulky furniture can be moved to the darker side of a room so that it does not hinder light from coming in through the window.
Place Mirrors In The Right Place
Mirrors can increase the reach of natural light in your residence by maximizing its space. Hanging mirrors can bring natural light into practically any room. Mirrors can also be placed on the walls around your room, as the sun will touch those walls for half of the day. If you see where light beams enter your residence, you can also add reflective surfaces to increase your natural light.
Use Window Treatments During the Brightest Hours
You can use light window treatments during those bright hours, but nothing too heavy that would obstruct light the rest of the day. Window treatments that work best for this are white or soft colors made of a material that light can pass through. If your window treatments are floor-length, that can also help make your room look larger.
Clean Your Windows Monthly
Even if you choose light colors and open areas to provide natural light, you must also ensure that the window allowing light in is clean. Windows collect dust, dirt, and film, which reduces the brightness of the morning going through; therefore, keeping them clean is critical.
