Wonderful New Windows: Navigating the Nuances of Natural Light
Renovators Place Columnist
Oct 08, 2009
It's in our physiological make-up to desire natural light. The sun reminds us when it's time to sleep and when we should wake up. During the winter, many experience a subdued mood due to a decrease in natural light. And if you work in a relatively windowless office, you know what it's like to miss the day's sunlight entirely. While you can't control the light at your workplace, in your home it's up to you. If your home doesn't provide the natural light your body and spirit craves, consider new windows.
Light Play: East, West, North, and South
When adding a
new window to your home, it's important you consider the direction of the exposure. A southern exposure provides warm ambient light--opposed to the cooler, indirect light of a northern exposure. While windows facing east and west will capture the changing light of dawn and dusk, they also open the floodgates for that high-afternoon glare. Interior walls also influence the lighting picture: darker walls absorb while lighter walls reflect and brighten.
Know Your ABCs: Accent, Bay, and Casement Windows
An accent window can do wonders to revive a blank wall at the end of the hallway or landing. Or consider casement windows if your home has a contemporary flair. A bay window can make a magical addition to a room. Because of its three dimensional shape, a bay window lets in enough light to define an interior space. Breakfast nooks and work areas are nicely illuminated by the light of a
bay window. Whatever you choose, make sure the window complements the overall look of your home--you want to enjoy your new windows from inside and out.
