If your home feels small and crowded, you can greatly benefit from adding large windows around the perimeter. Natural light will make a room feel bigger, and a view to the outside world always extends the space beyond how big the room actually may be. Upgrading your windows is also a great way to increase the value of your home, since it provides visual appeal along with better efficiency.
When you walk into a space, the first thing you notice is the light. If you are trying to sell your home, potential buyers will not see the appeal of a dark home, even if every other feature is appealing. The first impression is how bright and spacious it feels, so adding bigger windows is a great way to make the space feel larger and more inviting. Even well-placed lamps and overhead lighting cannot compare to the feel of a home bathed in natural sunlight. One of the rooms that will most benefit from adding extra larger windows is the kitchen.
If you do choose to upgrade your windows, you may also want to add window coverings, which helps to appeal to the move-in-readiness factor that many buyers want. One of the most popular options is blinds, since they look clean and simple, but can be opened and closed with ease. Skylights are also a great addition, allowing the sunlight to come in overhead, so consider adding a skylight to a bathroom, bedroom, or even shared living space.
