Light is essential to humans.However, many dwellings have not been built in this concern to provide their occupants with sufficient light.So to promote your well-being, regulate your biological rhythm and no longer go through the vitamin D deficiency box, follow our advice to benefit from better brightness in your accommodation.
Unclog your windows
If you are a follower of the accumulation of plants in front of your windows while you are already lacking in brightness, perhaps it will have to make a choice ... Good news, some plants flourish very well in the shade and may be able tofind their place elsewhere in your accommodation.Because if you want to enjoy a living room, a bedroom or a brighter bathroom, you will have to avoid loading the spaces in front and around your windows.
(Re) paint the walls and ceilings in white
Nothing like white to reflect natural light.It's up to you to choose what nuance you want to see the walls and the ceiling of the room you want to lighten.
Make on a clear floor
There too, you should offer your floor a light color.You can change the tiles of your bathroom, put laminate parquet (in the direction of light) or simply, invest in a large white carpet to make an illusion.
Hang mirrors on the wall
Hanging mirrors on the wall has a double effect: lightening a room and enlarging it.The ideal is to place a mirror in front of a window.Also remember to create a nice collection of several pieces on the wall most exposed to the sun's rays.
Choose clear furniture and hot accessories
The furniture can increase a space and if the colors chosen are dark, it will capture the light all the more and darken the room.To avoid this, choose clear furniture, and enhance the tones with warm colors like plaids, cushions for a living room.
Install a light reflector
Faced with the problem of lack of light in certain accommodation, Espaciel, a French company offers a simple solution: a light reflector.He settles on the edge of his window, his balcony or in his garden according to its configuration and allows to naturally increase the brightness of his accommodation.The YouTube channel as a penguin in the desert tested the product:
If you do not have the budget to invest in such a tool, you can just as easily make yours with a flocking mirror for example and which will not risk the weather.
Transform a partition into a glass roof
If after changing the color of your walls, installed mirrors in your room, and bet on clear furniture you are still not satisfied with the result, you can then go to more substantial arrangements.
Shoot down a wall can allow you to gain a few square centimeters of brightness.To keep a semblance of partition or separation, between a kitchen and a living room, a bedroom and an office for example, you can install a canopy that will let the light pass without distorting the original space.And for a little privacy, you can install fine white curtains to also use on your windows.
Enlarge one or more windows
Depending on your type of home, you can possibly change the size of your windows.Be careful to connect with your condominium union and/or consult the local urban plan of your municipality to verify that this type of work is possible in your accommodation.
Install new windows
Roof window, light wells, velux ... it's up to you to see what is possible to do according to your needs, your desires and your budget.
Install transparent tiles on your roof
Transparent tiles are a possible solution to increase the brightness of your accommodation.As their name suggests, they allow light to pass through the roof and therefore clarify attic, garage or part of the roof in renovation.
