Lighting - Natural Light

First, let’s see how we can optimize the use of natural light:

Light dressing - To allow light to flow into a room without interruption, remove secondary glazings on the window since they absorb light. You should also replace heavy curtains with blinds, window shutters or light drapes.

Floored – Choosing the right flooring also determines the room’s brightness. Carpets will absorb light while polished marble or glossy painted floor reflects it.

Colored – The closer the color is to white, the more reflective it is. Thus pale shades of blue, lilac etc on the walls and ceiling will make the room look brighter while color like black, orange, brown etc will absorb light and make the room appear smaller and darker.

Simple reflection – Placing a mirror near or opposite the window not only makes the room seem larger, it also reflects light around the room, making it brighter.
