How to Brighten a Dark Room During Winter

Come January, staying indoors can feel less like a treat and more like you’re living in a cave. Here’s how to make your house lighter, brighter, and cheerier with more natural light!

⏺ Try taking the screens off your windows. You’ll get 30% more sunlight shining indoors. Here’s the best part: Sunlight warms your room and saves you money on your heating bill.

⏺Change your bulbs. Replace those incandescent bulbs and their yellowy light with LEDs, which produce a brighter, whiter light.

⏺Hang mirrors. Make the most of that weak winter light by bouncing it around the room with mirrors.
