Making Your Home More Enjoyable With Light

Entry #228, July 29, 2010

You can spend a fortune on designer furniture, custom drapery, high-end finishes, and beautiful wall decor.  At the end of the day, if you don’t have enough natural light pouring into a space, none of the other decor items matter.

Natural light is the key to humans feeling at home, welcome and comfortable in their habitat.  Ever notice when you’re in a bad mood you want to retreat to a dark space? Then when you walk into a room with ample natural light, you instantly feel like you have a pick-me-up!

Look at these beautiful spaces that all have natural light.  Each one has a “come and stay” vibe to them, I love it!

Put a comfortable chair next to a window and it instantly becomes the best seat in the house.

Natural light in the bathroom makes all the difference in the world when waking up in the morning. It also helps see your natural skin in a true light, and it will make you feel happier.

Bring natural light into your kitchen and see how much time you love to spend there.

If you don’t have bright and airy spaces, consider using shear drapery to bring in more light.  If the colors are too dark in your home, consider painting with a lighter color palette.  You will thank yourself after you let more light into your living spaces.
