Introducing more light into our home

 

My home is a bit gloomy just because of where it is situated and the trees outside and the fact it is overlooked and not open plan.

Lack of light makes me sad.Fact.

 

I love the sunshine, being outdoors, white, bright and light spaces. I need to tackle this lack of light in my home. I know it will increase my happiness and love for my home.

 

I have been trying to address the light problems in our home for a while.  To combat this in the past I have had the whole house painted white and this absolutely helped.I keep the windows sparkly clean to let in as much natural light as possible, I have high watt light bulbs too and I have predominately wooden floors.

 

Stil it can feel gloomy.Especially when you first enter the house.

 

To tackle this I am going to have a big mirror put back in our hallway. We have already had one put into the lounge which you can see above and this has helped a great deal.

I have good lighting over my desk but I need to invest in more good lighting around our home.

 

 

Introducing more light into our home

 

 

Over at Lights.co.uk, there is a gorgeous array of lights, lighting and lamps and they have loads of advice too about how lighting can really enhance your interiors. I need to have a good read and think and invest in a few key pieces to really light up my home.

 

I am rather loving this unfussy but super stylish chrome plated pendant light.  Isn’t it just beautifully minimalistic and I think it would be lovely in our hallway rather than the heavy sailor lamp we currently have that gives off such little light.

 

 

 

 

I also rather love this minimalistic Danua arc lamp which would work perfectly in creating a well-lit reading nook, without dominating the space.

 

 

 

So yes lots to think about and lots more I can do.

 

Part of me wants to splurge and get rid of the conservatory and do a big kitchen extension but I think that is just a pipe dream at the moment.

 

 

How do you get more light into your home? I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas too.
