As spring fully blooms on Prince Edward Island, it’s the perfect time to consider how to maximize natural light in your home. Longer daylight hours can not only lift your mood but also reduce energy costs and make your living space feel more open and welcoming.

Start by evaluating your windows. Are they large enough to let in ample light, or are they being blocked by heavy drapes or furniture? Swapping out thick window coverings for sheer curtains can allow more light while still maintaining privacy. You may also consider installing larger windows or even skylights during your next renovation—both excellent ways to boost brightness.

Light wall colours and reflective surfaces, like mirrors or glossy finishes, can help bounce light around a room. If you’re planning a remodel, choosing an open floor plan can also increase light flow from one space to another.

Even the layout of your furniture plays a role. Keeping taller items away from windows ensures light isn’t being unnecessarily blocked. These simple upgrades can make a big difference, especially in older PEI homes where smaller windows were the norm.
