A house filled with warm, bright sunlight can bring residents days as brilliant and splendid as flowers, giving ordinary life wings of happiness.

Today, let’s talk about the design points to improve natural lighting, making it easy to create a sunny room!

Part 01/Why Do Some House Types Have Poor Natural Lighting? 

• Low floor level: Lower floors are blocked by higher ones.

• Narrow spacing between buildings: The larger the spacing, the better the lighting conditions and the broader the view.

• House orientation: South-facing houses have better lighting; try to make the living room and master bedroom face south.

• Impact of width and depth: A larger width and smaller depth are good for lighting, while the opposite affects it.

During the house selection process, you can filter out units with poor lighting and directly choose those with full marks for lighting. If the house indeed has poor lighting, it can also be improved through later design.

Part 02/Improving Indoor Lighting

                                                        1.Open Layout 

An open layout allows each space to interconnect, presenting a fluid state. It not only improves indoor lighting but also effectively utilizes space, making it very friendly for small units.

2.Living Room-Balcony Integration 

Opening up the living room and balcony can expand the living room’s activity area and allow sunlight to spread throughout the interior, significantly improving lighting.

If combined with a floor-to-ceiling window design, the effect will be even better.

3.Adding Indoor Windows 

You can also improve poor indoor lighting by adding indoor window designs. 

Note that indoor windows can only be installed on non-load-bearing walls. Additionally, the window openings can be combined with a bar counter design to enrich space functionality.

4.Glass Partitions 

Choose glass partitions as soft dividers in the space, such as long rainbow glass or glass bricks, which are both romantic and do not block the lighting.

                                                        5.Light Color Scheme as the Main Tone 

                                                        You can also start with the space color scheme, using recessive light colors as the main tone.

                                                        This not only makes the space look larger but also increases the brightness of the space.
