Allowing more ambient light offers several benefits, such as improved mood and productivity. With a few strategic moves and these tips, you can turn your Springleaf Residence condo into a more inviting and relaxing space. All the recommendations do not require you to spend too much.
Keep Your Windows and Glass Doors Clean
Dust and fine particles can trap sunlight and prevent it from coming in as it should. You can see the effects of this on any window, from a building to your car. This is why regular cleaning is recommended, so the light goes through and illuminates your space within. It’s worth noting that you should clean both the inside and outside at least twice a month.
Place Mirrors Strategically
Mirrors can work their magic by reflecting natural light and make a place seem brighter. You’ll need large windows for this. The placement is commonly done adjacent to windows or directly opposite them. You’ll love how this illusion makes the condo space feel brighter and larger.
Choose Lighter Curtains
Allow more light to come in throughout the day by choosing lighter curtain fabrics. Replace your heavy blinds and drapes with sheer curtains and linen. The good news is that you can still enjoy a level of privacy. In the bedroom, you can combine both blackout and sheer curtains by layering them.
Remove Obstacles and Objects
It makes total sense to remove any large objects or obstacles that prevent light from coming through your windows. Do this on the outside as well as the inside. Excessive decoration on the window sill, tall plants, and bulky furniture are good examples.
Lighter Paint and Reflective Surfaces
Lastly, opt for reflective surfaces and light-colored paint whenever possible. These reflect the natural light and spread it out for greater ambient illumination.
