Bring in Natural Light

Natural light instantly makes bedrooms feel calmer and more open. If your room has limited light, small updates can make a big impact.


    • Swap heavy drapes for sheer or light weight curtians
    • Try cafe curtains to allow light while maintaining privacy
    • Use window film to filter light and add subtle pattern


Lighter window treatments pair especially well with neutral floors and soft wall colors creating an airy balanced look.
