I’ve seen some friends that keep their places like caves; all curtains and blinds closed with maybe some lights on. Some even going so far as to put up foil and completely blocking out light. I like having blinds and curtains open with maybe just a sheer curtain to diffuse the light but I enjoy it being bright. So how do you like your space lit with natural light?
We need sunlight on our skin to generate vitamin D. If you don’t get enough vitamin D you will feel like shit. Not to mention the insiduous psychological effects.
In short, more and bigger windows are the way forward. Go outside in the wilderness, it feels good.
I like lots of natural light, EXCEPT, when there’s a TV involved, then you have to manage the glare.
Blackout curtains in the bedroom, with an exra throw blanket blocking off the gaps on top to ensure 0 light gets in.
That room is usually lit with red LEDs to avoid blue light as I like to lay in bed watching YouTube for a few hours before sleep, and often wake up at night, have a smoke/joint, then go back to bed.
Living room has regular blinds that allow some light, and even get opened on occasion. More often than not thpugh, lit by a pair of table lamps with dimmable smart bulbs in them.
I do it like your friends and even block the tops of curtains where the light peeks through, but that’s because I work night shifts lol
Depends on what’s outside my home.
Thus far in life I’ve only been able to afford living in cities, so the blinds stay closed 24/7
That’s interesting, I live in a city and I have them open probably 80% of the times. It’s just something that I’ve learned comes with city living. You’re gonna see people and they’re gonna see you.
Lots! There are lots of large windows in my place. Took this over a better floor plan that had no outside windows. I would have been miserable without sunlight. Plus, the kitties love napping on the windowsills.
As much as is possible while having privacy.
As much as possible. Gimme that serotonin!!
I like not wasting money on electricity when there’s infinite light coming in from the outside for free.
The more natural light the better.
Curtains open, come right in 🪟
Personally, I prefer Coors Light.
I’m guessing you’re in your 20s? The cave thing is definitely indictive of younger males. It also depends on what direction the windows are facing and how much light they get. Some rooms may get uncomfortably hot if you let sunlight in all day.
Astigmatism, light sensitivity, sensitive skin that burns easy, sensory issues, etc…
I like dim, indirect light. I enjoy overcast and cloudy days where it doesn’t feel like the sun is trying to kill me.
I would happily have a windowless bedroom, but I want as many windows as possible in my lounge.
I want as much natural light as I can get, which in a city is usually… a window
