Wide Open


Natural light is really important in a house and can make a lot of difference in terms of comfort, mood and even the homeowner's health.  That being said, there's nothing like big windows to allow natural light to enter and create an ambiance that will increase productivity as well as diffuse well being, rest, cheerfulness and positivity, besides the fact that it will beautify your home by putting furniture into evidence, completely changing your home's aesthetics.
