Use light neutral colors
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to make your home a more light, bright and airy space is to decorate with lighter neutral colors. This is because using tones such as white, cream, dove grey and cappuccino instantly make the room feel larger, and reflect any light, making it feel like a brighter space as well.
The great thing about using the lighter neutral colors
is that they go with just about anything and any style, making them
incredibly flexible. You can even work them around your current
furniture and layout.
Let in more natural light
It's hard to have a bright and airy home without plenty of natural light. The great thing about natural light is that it makes us feel more energised and makes a space feel larger. It also saves on using energy for lighting, which makes it a greener option, too.
Of course, if you have a room with large windows, it's relatively easy to make sure you get plenty of light. But what about when you don't have the ideal set-up? Well, there are still things you can do to ensure you get as much light as possible. The first is to use a sun tube, which is a device that can be linked to the outside of your building and is designed to reflect back natural light. This makes it perfect for cellars and semi-subterranean properties.
Another option is to work with a professional window well cover company to install a glass panel over any window wells you may have. These are great for letting as much natural light in as possible, while also making the window well safe for people and animals at ground level. Some of the best window wells can even support a whopping 800lbs, so there is no need to worry about it cracking when used.
Install proper ventilation
Another important element to consider if you want to make your home more airy is proper ventilation. Without this, you can not only end up living in a stuffy environment, but also encourage moisture that leads to mold. Poor ventilation can even lead to higher concentrations of allergens and pollutants, too, making your home a less-than-healthy place to live.
To rectify this issue, make sure that you install exhaust fans in the bathrooms, as these will help get rid of the moist air. Vent also needs to be regularly cleaned and unblocked to ensure the proper flow of air around your home. Lastly, it can help to keep your ceiling fans running all year round, as this will circulate the air. Oh, and don't forget to use dehumidifiers in any areas that are particularly damp.
Improve your lighting set-up
Last of all, if you want your home to be bright and airy no matter what time of day, you will need to make sure you have the best lighting set up. This means layering different types of lighting, such as accent, ambient and task-specific lighting. It's also a good idea to add LED lamps in darker corners, as these will efficiently brighten up the whole of your space.
