Is inside your home too dark? Add more windows!

Windows are often thought of as the eyes of a house. A dark home can indeed feel gloomy, and in New England, the sunlight is scarce during the winter months. Sunlight is vital. If your home remains dim even on the brightest days, it might be time to think about enhancing natural light by installing additional windows.

The only question is... where's the best place to add them?

SUNROOM- This room is abundant with windows, offering ample natural sunlight. However, certain sunrooms may have smaller windows or screens that diminish the light. Pella offers a solution to maximize brightness: installing Casement, Awning, or Double Hung windows can flood the room with light.

BEDROOM/LIVING ROOM- I find it funny to think about adding more light to a bedroom. This is where you sleep, shouldn't it BE dark? In fact, many contemporary homes showcase black windows with expansive glass areas. Envision fitting black casement windows alongside some stationery and awning windows for a design that's both elegant and bright. It could be ideal for a bedroom or a living room.

And speaking of living rooms...

Consider going traditional with the addition of a bay or bow window, which brings in light and ventilation from every angle into your living room. Combining windows with patio doors is another option that not only enhances light and air flow but also offers convenient access to your patio space.

ACCENT WALL- Forget accent wall- how about accent windows? A wall adorned with distinctive windows or sliders can certainly flood your home with light. Or try opting for the traditional picture window with stylish trim can also beautify your home while welcoming in the sunlight.
