Around Your
Manipulate Light In Your Home To Brighten It Up
There are many people who suffer from a lack of light in their homes, even when they are relatively large and open. In fact, people with larger homes frequently have more of a problem due to having longer deeper rooms and also areas in the middle of the house that are some way from windows. There are some options available to increase the light in your home, including adding widows, buying white dining room furniture, knocking through walls and even using putting light tunnels in the chimney. If you have the money and time for these and don’t mind the disruption of the work then great, but for everyone else, here are some options that be implemented with much greater ease.
Mirrors. It is such an easy technique to use and yet lots of people don’t even consider just how good mirrors are at enhancing light. They are so good because unlike most materials, they reflect almost 100% of the light that hits them. The best way to use them is place mirrors on walls in just the right place to send incoming light from windows, back out the door to other areas. Have another mirror outside the room on the wall opposite the door to pick up the light and move it on. Repeat this as necessary throughout the house and it’ll be like having a hundred extra lights around. It’s particularly useful when you have lots of bedroom furniture cluttering up a room, and not much light to start with.
Glass. You can call upon glass to break up the light and send it off in various directions, thus giving all parts of a room some exposure. Using wine glasses on shelves and glass vases on bedside tables which refract light and send it out at all angles giving an all over glow. Make sure you don’t overdo the glassware however because you can sometimes end up ‘trapping the light’ within all the glass.
Combine. For optimal light try combining the two techniques above. Use mirrors to direct light through glass objects and then smaller mirrors to pick up the refracted light and move it on. You’ll be amazed at just how much extra light you can have without even using electricity.
