Simple Ways to Increase Light in Your Home

When it comes to this time of year, the short, dark days make the world seem dreary when compared to summer. The sun doesn’t shine the same, the weather is colder, and the days keep getting shorter. When you wake up for work, it’s dark outside. When you’re done with work? It’s still dark. Looking to increase light in your home? Capture the right amount of sunshine with the perfect window treatments.

 

Increase Light Across Your Home

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of daylight? When it comes to daylight in your home, we think of the way your space is illuminated by natural light, not artificial. So how can our window coverings help provide something that’s not artificial? Well, let’s take a look at some of our amazing products.

 

Magic in a Simple Tilt

When it comes to increasing light, one of the simplest ways is with the tilt of your window coverings. Louvers, slats, and vanes bring the light in, but it’s controlled. Change the direction of incoming light so you don’t have to worry about issues like glare. Specialty brands like Pirouettes & Silhouettes use vanes, but the backing is sheer, diffusing the light, while the fabric vanes are adjusted for the amount of light.

No matter the window treatments you prefer, you’ll get flowing natural light while still maintaining privacy. And, the sun won’t be shining right in your eyes.

 

Make Dreams Come True with Daylighting

When it comes to natural lighting, we want to make sure you get all of the benefits and none of the issues. That’s where daylighting comes in. Daylighting is the term that describes an increase in natural light by illuminating the ceiling of your home. You get light, while keeping the benefits of your window treatments. One of our favorite solutions for daylighting is often Top Down Bottom Up

Go about your busy day and experience your automated shades working their magic. Smart home tech is one of the best and easiest ways to increase light in your home. With smart shades, blinds, or even shutters, you can easily schedule your window treatments in sync with your smart home devices or your everyday schedule.
