The Benefits of Natural Light in Your Home
We know a thing or two about sunshine here in Honolulu, but did you know about the importance of having natural light in your home? This makes it essential to choose window coverings that allow you to take advantage of the sunshine and provide privacy when needed. Design 5 Ltd. shares a few reasons why abundant natural light is beneficial and which window treatments will let the most light into your life.
Natural Light is Safe and Sustainable
Since natural light doesn't require lightbulbs or electricity, you decrease the risk of an electrical fire in your home. Using sunlight to illuminate your home is also a sustainable choice. You can enjoy as much sunlight as you want without affecting the environment. Natural light is also cost-effective. Lighting your home with sunlight during the day is always free of charge.
Natural Light is Healthy
Think about the difference between your mood on a cloudy, rainy day and a sun-filled one. Exposure to natural light makes people happier and more productive. Other benefits of natural light include:
- Sunlight allows your body to create Vitamin D, an essential nutrient for absorbing and retaining calcium.
- Natural light stimulates your appetite and improves digestion.
- Your body will enjoy an enhanced immune system and better circulation.
- More sunlight during the day will help you sleep better at night.
- Sunshine can help keep depression at bay by helping your body produce serotonin and dopamine.
Window Treatments to Enjoy the Most Natural Light
Sheer shades are our top pick for anyone who wants the maximum sunlight in their home. Silhouette® Sheer Shades nest adjustable fabric vanes between dual pieces of sheer fabric to simultaneously deliver the most privacy and sunlight.
If you prefer a more sleek, minimalist aesthetic, consider Pirouette® Sheer Shades. This style of sheer shading features fabric vanes attached so a single sheer backing. The vanes move in tandem during adjustment for a graceful, flowing effect.
For expansive windows and sliding glass doors, Luminette® Sheer Panels give you the functionality of vertical blinds and the luxurious look of drapery. All sheer shades from Hunter Douglas are available with PowerView® Automation and cordless wand operation for a safer home.
If you prefer more privacy, we suggest Vignette® Roman Shades in a sheer opacity and the Duolite® system. The innovative design allows your sheer shade and an independently operating opaque liner to be housed on the same headrail. Another great solution is Provenance® Woven Wood Shades with or without a privacy liner. Woven shades have naturally occurring gaps within the material, allowing sunlight into your home without eliminating your privacy.
