Even the most luxurious and spaces houses, people often find there are areas that just do not get enough light. In actual fact, it is often those people who have deeper rooms and areas within the house that are some distance from any windows that have the biggest problems with light. People can do something about this of course by adding skylight windows, reducing furniture or using white dining room furniture for example, and even restructuring parts of the house to open them up. However, the majority of these techniques require major building work, which lots of people do not want to undertake or don’t have the money for. Do not fear though, as here we take a look at some decidedly more simple approaches.

Mirrors. It is such an easy technique to use and yet lots of people don’t even consider just how good mirrors are at enhancing light. This is because they are very efficient at reflecting light, hence you can see yourself very well in them. If you pick the right spots on a wall you can easily direct incoming light from a widow, out of the door and around the house. Have another mirror outside the room on the wall opposite the door to pick up the light and move it on. Repeat this as necessary throughout the house and it’ll be like having a hundred extra lights around. It’s particularly useful when you have lots of bedroom furniture cluttering up a room, and not much light to start with.

Glass. If you want to disperse light around a room rather than have it concentrated in one area then use glass. Using wine glasses on shelves and even glass vases on bedside tables which refract light and send it out at all angles giving an all over glow.Be careful not to use too much glass however as you can end up diluting the light just a little too much.

Combine. For optimal light try combining the two techniques above. Use mirrors to direct light through glass objects and then smaller mirrors to pick up the refracted light and move it on. In fact you’ll be so taken aback by the extra light you can have in your home for such a small cost that you’ll be wanting to optimise family and friends houses as well.
