Open t he Door to Your Dreams... HOMEfinder.org MAGAZINE 21

HOME finder.org Feature

Meet you under the skylight, on a white sofa, with a cream cheese brownie BY GABRIELA BARKHO Fall and winter start cozy — who hasn’t used the colder temperatures as an excuse to binge-watch Netflix while swaddled in a couch blanket? But 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. #1 TAKE THE SCREENS OFF YOUR WINDOWS You’ll get 30% more sunlight shining indoors without screens on your windows. Here’s the best part: Sunlight warms your room and saves you money on your heating bill. It’s solar power — for you! Be sure to store your screens in your garage or basement where they won’t get damaged. In the spring you’ll want to put them back on so you can keep that 30% of the sun out and run your cooling system less. #2 HANG OUTDOOR STRING LIGHTS INDOORS They don’t give off a lot of light, but they’re cheerful as heck. Drape them around a window or a mantel, or hang a string of LED glimmer lights in a tall potted plant. They’ll add a layer of soft light to your room and remind you of fireflies, flip-flops, and patio parties. #3 STEAL A LITTLE SWEDISH CHIC Scandinavians excel at making a home light and airy because they’ve got places where the sun doesn’t rise at all from November to January. And you thought you had it bad. To adapt to weeks and weeks of polar night, Swedes keep interiors pale to reflect and amplify light. Think white walls, light woods for furniture and floors, and light upholstery. To get the look without

getting rid of your dark furniture and floors, put white or light gray slipcovers on your sofa and chairs, and put down light-colored rugs. The fastest way to bring a little Sweden into your room is to paint it. Try creamy white, pale blue, or dove gray. #4 CHANGE YOUR BULBS Replace those incandescent bulbs and their yellowy light with LEDs, which produce a brighter, whiter light. But get your bright right: • The higher the K rating on the bulb, the cooler and whiter its light. • For cool, white light, opt for a bulb rated 3,500K to 4,100K. • For blue-white light that’s closest to natural daylight, use a bulb between 5,000K and 6,500K. Unless you live in Sweden (see above) you may want to leave the uber-high K bulbs for grow rooms and seasonal affective disorder therapy clinics — because they’re as bright as real sunlight on a hot summer day at noon. You’ll need sunglasses to read. #5 HANG MIRRORS Make the most of that weak winter light by bouncing it around the room with mirrors. If you don’t want the distraction of seeing your reflection all the time, use a large, convex one — also known as a fish-eye mirror. It will amplify light better than a flat one. Another option: Hang a gallery wall of small mirrors. #6 REPLACE HEAVY CURTAINS WITH BLINDS OR ROMAN SHADES Fabric curtains, while quite insulating, block light and make a room feel smaller and more cramped, especially if they’re a dark color or have a large print.

HOME finder.org Feature Try Roman shades or a simple valance paired with blinds to let in the maximum amount of natural light.

$3,000. A cheaper alternative is a tubular skylight, which costs around $1,000.

#7 TRIM BRANCHES AND BUSHES THAT BLOCK LIGHT

If you’re really good with tools, you can install a tubular skylight yourself. Don’t even think about installing a full-blown skylight yourself.

If you look out your windows and see the tops of your bushes, grab your pruning shears and get whacking.

#11 Add Plants

You don’t want anything blocking that precious natural light. Same for tree limbs that may be arching down and blocking windows. Cut them off. #8 CLEAN YOUR WINDOWS Dirty windows block a lot of natural light. Admit it, yours are kind of cruddy because who remembers to block out an afternoon to clean the windows? So get it on your list. Clean the glass inside at least once a month and the glass outside once a year. Your serotonin level will thank you. #9 SWAP YOUR SOLID FRONT DOOR FOR ONE WITH GLASS INSERTS A solid front door can make your house look and feel as dark as a dungeon. Get rid of it and install a half-light or full-light door that lets the natural light stream in. For even more natural light, add glass sidelights and a glass transom. The median cost of a new door is $2,000 for steel and $2,500 for fiberglass, before any extras, but a new door will add curb appeal. Curb appeal equals higher resale value. And coming home in the evening to the warm glow of light radiating out the glass panels in your front door is an instant mood lifter. #10 ADD A SKYLIGHT

Putting pots of plants around your room will remind you that spring and green will return. Match plants to the amount of light you have, because dead and dying plants are depressing. Tropicals that thrive in indirect light are usually the best choice. If you have a sunny window you’ve got more plant options. Bonus points for adding a plant that blooms in the winter, like a kaffir lily or anthurium. #12 Celebrate National Cream Cheese Brownie Day February 10 is National Cream Cheese Brownie Day. Really. Since February is when winter is feeling longer than a seminar on insurance underwriting, this is exactly when you need to make cream cheese brownies. Chocolate won’t make the sun shine longer or your house brighter, but it will make you feel better because … endorphins. Besides, you spent a ton of money on that marble-topped kitchen island and those double ovens, so get baking. LEANNE POTTS is an Atlanta-based journalist and serial home remodeler.

It’s the ultimate way to bring more natural light into your house. A window only catches sun for a couple of hours a day, but a skylight lets in the sun all day.

An indoor view of the sky makes deepest January more tolerable. And feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, light streaming from above, is liberating. A skylight, installed, can cost as much as
