3 Ways To Brighten Your Space
Your home can be your favorite place: It’s where you sleep, eat, and relax. It’s where you spend quality time with friends, family and loved ones. It also may be ready for a bit of a facelift. If your home is feeling a little dark and dingy lately, it may be time to take some steps toward improvement. Read on for some ways to make your home feel more spacious, airy and bright.
1. Add Some Light
It can be surprisingly simple and effective to add accent windows to your home. These windows come in a range of sizes and shapes, and they can be extraordinary at letting in some extra light just where it’s needed most. They can be an excellent option for areas like a kitchen or bathroom. Another way to add light is with lamps and lightbulbs. Look at cooler colored bulbs and higher luminescence, and combine overhead lighting with lamps of different heights to avoid a shadowed look.
2. Change the Color
Paint can be a cheap and easy way to brighten a room (or a whole house!) by lightening the colors and ensuring more rays get reflected around the space. Colors can be neutral, warm or cool, but a paler shade can do wonders for both increased light and a feeling of cleanliness.
3. Hang a Mirror
Mirrors reflect more than just your beautiful visage. They also bounce light around the space at different angles. Place a mirror at eye level on a wall perpendicular to a window for an efficient way to make rooms appear lighter and larger. Mirrors are like optical illusions that can make the square footage of a home appear to rise, like magic!
Your home should be a safe space for you and your loved ones. It works to keep you safe, dry and warm. Give back a little by helping your home look its best. If your walls would talk, they would thank you.
