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?
As much as there can be, minus the bedroom which needs complete control over how much light is allowed. Side note: one of the most interesting house designs of the mid-century is called an Eichler — the design had floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, open floor plans, and sometimes an atrium in the middle with sliding glass door entrances to make as much use of natural light as possible.
The Eichler sounds amazing.
