Making the Most of Your Natural Light

There are so many products out there that will allow you to make the most of your natural light. If you’re lacking in natural light in your home, there are ways you can adapt your living space to get the best lighting outcome possible. Looking at GJohns range of products has inspired this blog with creative ways to adapt your natural light in a variety of ways. 

Mirrors 

It goes without saying, utilizing mirrors to enhance your natural light is very important. It’s all about getting the placement just right to gauge the right lighting in your room. You want to be able to place your mirror adjacent to any natural light source in your living space, that way the light has the ability to bounce off the mirror and to all angles of the room. This also gives the illusion of a larger space, extending the size of your room. Try to purchase a mirror made from a natural material, like a wood, metal or stone effect, this way you’re getting a more neutral tone in your room which always creates a lighter aesthetic. 

Windows

Your windows are an obvious way you can maximise your natural light. Transforming your windows into a space of tranquillity to brighten your room will add character and life to your home. Consider light filtering sheer blinds or voiles. These are a perfect way to filter the natural light into your home but allowing for some privacy at the same time. Blinds and curtains that negatively impact the lighting in your living space aren’t always ideal if natural light isn’t always available. Considering your window fittings at this point is always an idea. If you’re restricted in how you can open your window to let the floods of light through you may want to consider changing this. Considering a fitting that allows for a wide window opening to let in the fresh breeze is a good idea. 

Décor Tones 

An obvious choice in décor when trying to increase the light in your home is going for light, neutral tones. Stay away from the darker bold colours in your living space, only using the darker colours for pops of accent décor. Ultimately your décor on a whole, needs to remain, light, airy and free flowing. If you’re worried about picking the wrong tones, you could look into consulting a colour expert. This approach to adding lighting to your interior is a perfect way of achieving the right balance of colours and tones through your home. 

Sliding Doors 

Looking at the range of different sliding doors available at GJohns you can see there is a variety of options when it comes to maximising light in your living space. Before you consider your options with sliding doors, be sure to set a budget. If you haven’t budgeted for this then it probably isn’t the option for you, but if you’re really looking to transform your living space then sliding doors or bi-folding doors into your outdoor space is the way to go. Particularly if you’re looking to transform your natural light.
