Here are some hacks to bring maximum natural light into your house, while making your space appear aesthetically pleasing. 

Smart Home Orientation

The amount of natural light in your home contributes to its overall comfort by creating a pleasing ambiance. House orientation concerning the sun can have a dramatic impact on the lighting in your space.

It illuminates the entire room and gives a dimension to the place by distributing the light evenly, making the place brighter.

Creative Daylighting 

No matter how little natural light you have in a room, you want to play it up as much as possible by making it a focal point. Making the light stand out will make it appear more substantial. Light-collection and reflection strategies are employed to distribute daylight evenly throughout a building by collecting natural light and reflecting it into the darker areas. By using windows, skylights, clear doors, and other reflective surfaces, you can direct light to key areas in a room.
