Tips and tricks to make the most of the light in your home

Your home is an important space and requires the right attention to make it somewhere you love. When you work with one of the leading architects London has to offer, we can help you do this.

Brighten Up Your Space

Light plays a vital role in our lives and you should work to make sure you have plenty of it in your home. You can focus on increasing natural and artificial light in your space by placing lights and using windows.

Internal Glazing

There are a few different ways you can make the most of the light already in your home. This can be through using mirrors to reflect light around and placing glass windows. Internal glazing allows you to borrow light from brighter rooms and move it around to a darker space.

Gloss Paint

Areas like stairs and the landing tend to be particularly dark. In locations like this, you might be surprised by the difference it can make when you paint the skirting boards and banister with gloss. Emulsion will absorb the light but gloss will reflect it. In addition you can also try satin or satinwood paints to add a touch of shine if you aren’t a fan of gloss.

Choosing Furniture

You should decorate rooms with light levels in mind. This is because things like your choice of furniture material can make a huge difference. You should look at light wood options like pine, oak, and beech rather than dark options such as mahogany. In addition, you can use high gloss furniture which will act like a mirror and reflect light.

You can really transform your home when you put in the effort to maximise the amount of light. The environment will appear very welcoming and spacious. Also, you can minimise how reliant you are on artificial light sources, saving money and helping the environment.
