Spring Home Improvement Ideas to Let More Sunlight In

March 12, 2025 | Blog

Spring is just around the corner, bringing fresh energy and the perfect excuse to refresh your home. With spring comes the welcome addition of more sunlight, and less dreary winter skies. Letting that sunshine into your home is crucial for well-being and happiness (time to banish that Seasonal Affective Disorder!) In this blog, we’ll look at some suggestions for spring renovations to let more of the beautiful sunlight in to make your home cheerier & more joyful.

Four Easy Tips for Spring Remodeling

To get the best bang for your buck, here’s four easy tips to jump start your spring home improvement projects to let in more sun:

1. Upgrade Your Kitchen

If your kitchen is the heart of your home, why not give it a little love this spring? A full remodel with new countertops, flooring, and cabinets can completely transform your space and, believe it or not, make the space look bigger and brighter, giving the illusion of more ‘light’ within your home. If a full kitchen spring remodeling is not in your budget just yet, simple updates like painting cabinets, adding a backsplash, or switching out hardware can make a big impact without breaking the bank. Take a look at the ways James Barton Design Build can upgrade your kitchen- we’re here to help!

2. Reflect Sunlight with Shiny Wood Floors

Tired of dealing with dusty, dull-looking carpets? Wood floors not only look beautiful but can also provide the illusion of more light within a home as the sunlight reflects off their shiny surface. Whether you choose solid wood or engineered flooring (great for rooms with moisture or temperature changes), there are plenty of options to fit your style and needs. Plus, with so many wood species, finishes, and plank widths to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect spring home refresh for you.

3. Upgrade Your Windows to Let The Light In

As you work on your spring home projects, take a close look at your windows. This is the best way to let sunlight into your home for a new & joyful perspective. New windows not only improve insulation but also add style—modern designs with bold frames and brass accents are trending right now! Even if you don’t need replacements, consider decorative glass windows to add privacy while still letting in plenty of light.

Whether you prefer the elegance of French doors or the sleek functionality of a sliding door, this simple upgrade makes it easier to enjoy the outdoors while adding a stylish touch to your space.
