BET ON OPEN SPACES
If you remove certain partitions and leave the spaces open and without doors, you will ensure that the natural light that enters through the windows circulates freely throughout the house. In this way, you fight dark environments. As in this room in which the absence of doors and the arch that connect the rooms contribute to enhance the light.
THE MAGIC OF WHITE
Painting a room white , walls and ceiling is a great idea to expand the spaces. It is the color that reflects the light the most (it does so by up to 80%) so it is worth making it our first option if we seek to multiply natural light. This space is decorated by Begoña Susaeta which, thanks to the white, is much brighter.
If the windows in your house are already too old and you are thinking of changing them, take advantage of the reform to enlarge the gaps a bit and install larger windows: you will be able to increase the brightness of your spaces considerably.
THE CURTAINS, ALWAYS LIGHT
Choosing very light fabrics for the curtains in the house is another practical idea that will help you gain light. Put aside the heavy curtains and opt for white curtains for the living room and bedrooms.
CHOOSE LIGHT-COLORED FLOORS
They can be made of very light wood (even stained white), marble, or ceramic material. The key is to choose light and bright floors that provide that touch of light that dark houses lack.
TAKE THE LIGHT WHERE YOU WANT
Solar tubes and skylights are a very practical solution for those interiors that do not have windows or that are very dark. They allow you to bring daylight wherever you want and, although they are placed mainly on the roof, they can also be placed on the facade, thus increasing their possibilities of use in all types of houses.
