Here are some things you can do to use your windows to your advantage:
- Removing items and furniture from beneath your windows makes them feel larger and you can use longer drapes to open everything up.
- Use mirrors opposite windows to reflect more natural light throughout the room.
- If you have curtains in your home, widening the rods and hanging curtains outside the width of the window makes them seem larger and you won’t end up blocking any light.
- Paint your window sills a light color to reflect more light into your room.
- Lastly, leave your windows cracked open no matter the weather. Getting fresh air into your home is proven to improve mood and health.
