I opened my windows

I am always forgetting to open the curtains. And I very rarely open the windows. Unfortunately, this leaves our house dim and doesn’t give us much fresh air. 

Nordic design focuses on light, and many of their habits allow sunlight to reflect into and around the home.

Sunlight does a lot for us. The UV light in sunlight can kill germs. The fresh air of open windows brings in additional oxygen and improves air quality by letting out pollutants and allergens. Sunlight also regulates our circadian rhythms, helps us produce vitamin D, and boosts our serotonin levels.

So go ahead, throw open those curtains and pull up the windows. It’s good for you.

What did I learn?

Letting in the light helps increase both health and happiness.
