Do you want to make your home a happier place? You've come to the right article. Here are nine tips to boost your home's lighting. Read on.<\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Pay attention to distribution<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>A house with lots of walls and isolated spaces prevents natural light from being distributed throughout the space. Therefore, if possible, the ideal is to knock down walls and opt for open-plan floors.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose large windows and more of them<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>Installing large windows allows the sun's rays to penetrate further into the house. The more light the house has, the better. In general, it is recommended that windows occupy an area equivalent to 10-20% of the room's surface. For example: a room of 10m\u00b2 should have windows of between 1m\u00b2 and 2m\u00b2. In addition, it is always advisable to place more than one window, ideally at least two.<\/li>\n
  3. Go for white<\/span><\/strong>
    \nWhen your home doesn't have enough natural light, you should opt for light decor: paint the walls white, use pastel fabrics or choose light-coloured floors. All this will help to give a feeling of spaciousness and multiply the light.<\/li>\n
  4. Installing light tunnels<\/span><\/strong>
    \nThe question arises: what are light tunnels? They are tubes that direct light from the roof into the interior of the house. Their main advantage is that they illuminate all day and are ideal when there isn't much wall space. They can be installed anywhere where there is 6 metres or less between the roof and the ceiling - halls, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, offices and places where a window cannot be installed.<\/li>\n
  5. Use reflected light<\/span><\/strong>
    \nThe amount of natural light decreases as you move away from the window. You can calculate this by measuring the height to the top of the window and multiplying by two above the ground. If the opposite wall is too far away from this line, you should look for alternatives to multiply the light in the room. Reflected light is an interesting option for roof windows. Twice as much light enters and improves luminosity.<\/li>\n
  6. Installing white window frames<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>White frames inside the house make the light reflect deeper into the room. A big advantage over dark ones.<\/li>\n
  7. Hanging mirrors on the walls<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>Mirrors reflect light and deceive the eye - near windows they can multiply the sensation of light and space.<\/li>\n
  8. Replace the walls with glass<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>Replacing brick walls with glass is a good solution for creating rooms without hindering light. Latticework is very fashionable these days and gives a very modern touch. Consider them, for example, for the kitchen or even the master bedroom.<\/li>\n
  9. Think carefully about artificial light<\/strong>
    \n<\/span>There are times when, no matter how hard we try, these tricks won't be enough to multiply the light in a house. Artificial light therefore becomes the only alternative. Choose where the different points of light go, the intensity and play around with the options available to achieve the desired effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
