Is your home dimmer than you would like? If you prefer to take advantage of natural light whenever possible, the answer to your problems can be solved with sliding patio doors, large windows, and just a little inspiration. As Cincinnati's experts in window repair for well over half a century, Pickens Window Service has put together this guide on bringing natural light indoors without making major renovations.

Consider the following steps to add beautiful natural light to your home:

• Consider The Cardinal Directions: Which side of your house already gets the best light? When you map out the sunniest parts of your home, you can begin orienting your furniture to create the most illuminating experience.

• Spruce Up Your Windows: Perhaps your windows don't require replacing but simply need some TLC. First, give them all a good scrub both inside and outside. Next, look for the perfect drapes or shades, which can soften sun glare and provide privacy. For any needed window repair, give Pickens Window Service a call. With over six million window parts in stock, they're sure to have what you need.

• Repair Your Sliding Patio Door: If your sliding patio door is in need of repair, Pickens Window Service is well equipped to help. If it isn't closing properly, missing a screen, or doesn't lock, call Pickens Window Service to fix it.

• Re-Paint Your Interior: Windows and sliding patio doors are great for letting in light, but you can do even more to brighten a room. Consider repainting your interior with light neutrals such as beige, eggshell, and white, or maybe even a splash of yellow. Floor-length mirrors are also great at making a room look and feel more spacious.
