Windows are not the only way to have more natural light in your home

Use light colors for walls

The first rule is to use light and pastel colors on your walls. Avoid dark grey, red, black and other dark colors. Your room will look smaller too. Repainting is not that expensive and it won’t take too much time. White is the brightest color, but you can play a little bit with other bright colors.

Declutter

Too much furniture and a mess will make your house sad, small, and dark. There is no need to have clutter in your home when you can find a cheap way to store your items. Also, it is easier to remodel your home if you store your items somewhere (in a storage unit, for example).

Add mirrors and shiny items

Besides bright paint, you can use glossier paint and give your walls a mirror effect. Also, try to add more mirrors because mirrors reflect light. Mirrors will make your room look bigger too, not only brighter. Look for furniture pieces with glass or chrome, use silver photo frames, and other “reflective” surfaces.

Glass blocks

Glass blocks instead of walls are becoming more and more popular. They will give you the right amount of natural light where otherwise no light would be entering your home and also it is decorative. Remodel your house smart and make it beautiful and bright.
