3 Ways To Let More Light Into Your Home

July 31, 2020 by admin Leave a Comment

If you’re wanting your home to feel brighter, cleaner, and more welcoming, letting more natural light in can help you accomplish all of these feelings and more. However, with only so many places where you can put windows, many homeowners struggle with knowing how to get more natural light into the current layout of their home.

To help you learn how you can deal with this type of issue, here are three ways to let more light into your home.

Install Glass Doors

It’s not only the windows of your home that can let light in through their glass facade. According to HouseBeautiful.com, you can also swap out some of your exterior doors for doors either made completely of glass or doors that have more glass in them.

Having a glass door, or just a door that has a few glass panes in it, can really add a lot more light to a room. But to get the maximum benefit from this, you may want to see if there are any walls that you could add a glass door to to brighten up your space to the fullest extent. While this won’t work in every home or for every budget, if you’re able to make this change, not only will you let more light into your home, but you may also get a great view added into your life as well.

Hang More Mirrors

If adding glass doors or more windows isn’t a possibility for you, you can always amplify the light that you already have going on in your home by adding mirrors or other reflective surfaces within your living space.

According to Monique Valeris and Kelsey Kloss, contributors to ElleDecor.com, putting a window in a room of your home can double the amount of natural light in that space by allowing the light to bounce off the mirror and reflect back into the area in which it’s pointed. But to save you from having a mirror on every wall, you can also try installing more reflective tile in rooms like your kitchen or bathroom as well as choosing some more reflective paint for certain areas of your home.

Put In Some Skylights

For those who love the idea of additional windows but either don’t have the wall space or are needing a little extra privacy, a skylight could be a great option for you.

With a skylight, you’re able to get more natural light in without actually having a window that you’re able to look through. And according to Lee Wallender, a contributor to The Spruce, you can even get more natural light with a skylight than you can with a window because there will be less time during the day when your roof is in shadow.

If you’re wanting your home to be lighter and brighter, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you get more natural light into your space.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
