How do I improve my home's natural lighting?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Maximize natural light by trimming outdoor foliage blocking windows, using light-colored curtains or blinds, and placing mirrors opposite windows to reflect light deeper into rooms. Consider adding skylights or solar tubes in darker areas. Replace solid doors with ones that have glass panels. Choose lighter paint colors for walls and ceilings to help natural light bounce further through your home.
Why It Matters
Better natural lighting reduces your need for artificial lighting during the day, lowering electricity use while making your home feel brighter and more inviting.
