Home » Let the Light In: Benefits of Adding More Windows to Your Home

When it comes to home design, too much of a good thing can end up decreasing the value of a home. Too much tile in a kitchen backsplash can become distracting to the eye, or too much brightly painted accent walls can feel too overstimulating. However, having too much natural light in a home is never a drawback. If you are on the fence about adding a few new windows, or a patio sliding door, to your home, here are just a few reasons why you should go for it.

Natural light makes your room feel larger
A lack of natural light can make a room feel claustrophobic quickly. A few new windows to the room makes a major difference, making a room feel larger and more spacious. There’s just something about well placed windows that can make even the smallest closet feel palatial.

Natural light makes you happier
It is nearly impossible to feel sad in a room spilling over with natural light. You’ll find yourself gazing our your new window in no time, wondering how you lived so long without it in that perfect spot.

Natural light increases your resale value
Updated windows, and customized windows, add to your home’s resale value. New homeowners will love that they won’t have to replace them soon and will pay more money for that convenience.

Natural light can be anywhere
