Light Control in Summer
The room that was warm and bright in May is hot and harsh in July. Manage the light, not the temperature.
Steps
- 01Hang a sheer linen curtain inside the existing curtain — even on a tension rod. The double layer halves the light without darkening the room.
- 02Move the chair you actually sit in three feet inward, away from the window. The view stays. The glare leaves.
- 03Switch out one lamp bulb to a warmer, lower-wattage one for summer evenings. The room asks you to slow down at night.
