There’s no shortage of options for lighting your home, but you’ll probably find that there’s no better source of light than the sun itself. To get the most out of your new construction home in Los Angeles, you’ll want to maximize the space for natural light. Here are just a few ways you can truly illuminate and brighten your home.
Choose Large Windows
Oversized windows are a great way to maximize the natural light pouring into your space. Not only do they allow for more illumination, but they also go a long way in helping your home feel more open and spacious. Aluminum window frames can be good choices for larger windows because they are usually better equipped to handle heavier glass. If you go with larger windows, don’t forget to account for potentially higher heating and cooling costs.

Use the Floors
Polished hardwood and glossy titles can both do wonders to help increase the brightness in your home. You can strategically place these types of flooring materials in places that might naturally struggle to reflect light, such as darker hallways and smaller spaces like bathrooms. These types of floors help the light bounce off, and you can also add some design flair by experimenting with the color.
Build a Skylight
You can’t get much better or brighter than a skylight for illuminating a space. Skylights are excellent sources of natural light that can be incorporated into your ceiling to directly capture the sun’s rays. These features are great for people who want to capitalize on natural light in their new construction home, but also want to preserve their privacy. Plus, skylights can add resale value to your home as they are often a highly desirable addition to properties.
