There are many ways to brighten a home. You might turn on some lights or paint lighter colors on the wall, for example. When you need Los Gatos, CA replacement windows, you can also brighten the home in a number of ways. If some of the rooms in your house tend to feel dark and closed off, use your new windows to infuse a new style and brightness to those spaces. Here are a few ideas to help you get started:
Get Larger Windows
When you are getting replacement windows, it’s the perfect time to make changes to the window set up. If you want a group of smaller windows to become one big picture window, go for it. If you want to keep the group, but would like larger windows, that’s an option as well. You could take them out and make a bay or bow window as well to expand the glass space. Larger windows are always going to brighten a room.
Watch Frame Size
Windows now have much smaller frames and more glass space than they did in the past. If you are concerned about natural light, pay close attention to the differences in the frame sizes as you make your decisions. You can get quality windows with smaller frames that allow you to have the glass space you want for brighter rooms.
Color Matters
While you won’t be able to make much of a difference on the interior with the exterior colors, you will want to pay attention to the color you put inside. Lighter colors always look and feel brighter so if you can air on that side of the color wheel, that’s best for your room’s natural lighting.
Add Accent Windows
You only have so much wall space for windows and you likely already have quite a few, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add some accent windows in other locations. Consider putting a window above your entry door, for example, to give you some natural light in that dark entry way. You could also put a skylight into a hallway, so you don’t have to use lights there as much or in a bathroom, so you can have light, but maintain privacy. These accent windows can make a huge difference in brightening up a home.
