Now, it might sound ridiculously obvious to say that light is an important part of improving your home. But you really would be surprised to see how much you might be misusing it. With that in mind, here are some things that you can do in order to use light in your home just a little more effectively.
If there's one type of light that's going to be more effective than just about any other for improving your home, it's natural light. Getting as much natural light into your home as possible is going to make it feel bigger, more open, and generally just a whole lot nicer to be in. Keeping your windows unobstructed is a great way to get more light into your home but looking into things like conservatories by James Oliver can be fantastic if you want something a little more drastic. A conservatory can provide a wonderful space where you're able to enjoy all of the benefits of being outside, within the comfort of your home.
Not all light is created equal and different lights are going to be suitable for different rooms. The quality of a light isn't a matter of how good or bad it is at lighting a room, but rather what kind of effect it can have. Bright, cold lights are great for bringing life into your kitchen or helping your bathroom feel clean and refreshing, whereas warmer lights are ideal for giving your bedroom or living room that calm, relaxing atmosphere that so many of us really need when we get home from a hard day at work.
Of course, it's important not to make the mistake of just throwing as much light as possible into a room and assuming that it's going to automatically make it feel spacious. Sometimes less really is more, especially when it comes to rooms like your bedroom! After all, the last thing you want is to get into bed and have a room full of lights.
Why not take the opportunity to experiment a little bit and figure out what kinds of things really work for you?
