A Coat of Paint

One of the easiest ways to remodel windowless rooms in your Calgary home is by adding a coat of paint. Not only will paint freshen up and modernize your space, but it can attract light and make the fact that you do not have windows less noticeable. For windowless rooms, choose white or very pale shades of green, blue or yellow. This is not the time to divide up the room with different colors, so pick one shade and stick to it. You might even consider painting the ceiling to increase the cohesiveness throughout your room and further attract the light you are seeking.

French Doors

If solid doors are blocking light from entering your room, consider renovating to replace them with French doors. These attractive doors increase the ambient lighting in any room and give you and your visitors a sense of peeking out into a world beyond. Even if your French doors do nothing more than lead to another interior room in your Calgary home, they can create an optical illusion that is quite appealing.

Transoms

Another attractive way to bring light into a room is by adding transoms above doorways or at the top of walls. These small windows open up your room to light, but they do not compromise privacy. This is a fantastic solution for a dark bathroom or dressing area that does not have windows. It helps you to take advantage of light that is entering an adjoining room but still keeps your space suitably private for personal and intimate tasks.

Pass Through Windows

If your Calgary home renovation plans include updating a dark kitchen, adding a pass through is a great option. A pass through allows light to enter and helps to open the kitchen up to conversations with guests in living or dining rooms. The pass through can also serve as a convenient way to get dishes and meals into and out of the space. If you feel like there are times when you would like to close the pass through up, consider adding a sliding frosted glass panel that can be opened and closed. This will still allow light to enter but can be closed off when you want to hide dirty dishes in the kitchen or keep this room more private.

Removing Walls and Exposing Ceilings

These are the most labor methods for bringing more light into your Calgary home, but they can also be some of the most effective. Knocking down walls to create an open concept or adding window panels to the flooring in your home will instantly brighten your windowless space and help it to feel larger. For these projects, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a Calgary general contractor to help avoid costly and potentially dangerous mistakes.
