A lot of rooms could be better lit, and most people don't know why theirs isn't! So in this video, I go through the principles architects actually use, from orientation and room depth to window sill height, filtered light, and bulb temperature. Some of this requires an architect. Some of it requires a trip to a hardware store. All of it will change the way you see your home 🏠
