To compensate for the lack of brightness in some homes, we use subterfuges to bring light into our homes, starting with multiplying the light sources. Thus, designer lamps and floor lamps, natural fiber lighting and other lighting are invited into all the rooms of the house. To gain light just as easily, we opt for light shades on the walls with a white living room or in a total look by adopting a white decoration from floor to ceiling. But for those who want to save a few dollars on their electricity bill or bring color into their lair, interior designer Sarah Poniatowski has the trick we need. And as proof that it works, she applies this technique even in her own duplex.
Bring Light Easily Into A Room
The idea of the creator of Maison Sarah Lavoine is very simple, but it had to be thought of. She installs a set of mirrors in the room, but not just anywhere. If we already know that mirrors on walls trick the mind and visually enlarge spaces, here it is in a more discreet way that they are staged in our homes. It is necessary to place entire plates, without frames, on either side of the glass openings, on the interior part of the rooms.
From then on, these reflective surfaces will “reflect the sun, enlarge the perspectives and double the windows” she explains to us. And to continue, “the light enters more and is reflected from right to left. I like to do that in apartments”. An effective trick as well with large windows, as smaller models or those in the attic. From then on, the light circulates more, bringing more clarity and offering a view of the sky for a feeling of freedom. We can only validate.
