You may not realize it, but having sunny windows is a great asset to have. They can literally brighten up your home and make your living space appear wider than it is. It can draw attention easily and become a room’s focal point. Here are some tips to help you maximize your sunny windows.

Put Furniture in an Adjacent Space

The area near a sunny window should definitely be used. This space can be the perfect spot for dining, working, reading, chatting or resting. If you have enough floor space to make use of this area, trusted window installation experts suggest adding some furniture to this space to make it more usable.

Use Sun-Loving Plants

It’s common knowledge that sunlight is good for plants. As such, window experts suggest taking advantage of generous natural light by putting your beautiful plants near your window. It’s also a great idea to grow your own herbs and spices in your own kitchen. If you think that you have a bland home design, you can put flowering plants and other fixtures to bring more life into your home. In fact, these plants can help increase your home’s indoor air quality.

Cover Using Soft Fabrics

Another great solution to counter harmful sunlight is to use soft fabrics as window treatments. You can use gauzy curtains to soften light entering your home, without totally blocking it out. A good option you can consider is to install solar screen shades to help eliminate glare without ruining your curbside view.
