Light and airy

Light and airy

Date: 2014-01-31
Almost invariably, we want to live in a house that is light and airy. 
There are some things you can do to brighten up your home and let the fresh air and good light in.

  • Do you have heavy curtains or blinds you could remove from the windows?If privacy isn't an issue, they could come down completely. Alternatively you could replace them with a sheer curtain.
  • Make it a part of your morning routineto open your blinds and crack a window or open the front door. An open door at one end of the house and an open window or door at the other helps create good cross-flow of air - naturally moving cooler air in and the warmer, stale air out.
  • Don't block doors and windows.Try not to place furniture in front of your big windows or doors - not only does it interfere with circulation and traffic flow, but it also blocks the light.
  • Get yourself an indoor plant-they cleanse the internal air of toxinsand they look sweet.

Light can be a feature of a room in and of itself. And letting natural light play a part in your home means you need less stuff adorning the walls and surfaces in the hope of "warming it up".
