Whether you live in an apartment, home, or condo; knowing the proper way your windows are faced will allow you to choose the right paint color for your rooms.
South facing windows provide both heat and warm light during the winter. By choosing red, gold, creams, orange, or shades of yellow to paint your walls is a good consideration. Windows that face north will provide cooler light to a room. Choose colors such as blues, greens, or even violets that have a blue undertone to paint your walls is also another good consideration.
And as an alternative, if you just like your rooms painted white, it can create a serene but peaceful atmosphere with the right trim that has accents and deep shade of color to it.
Therefore, knowing your home site orientation for your windows can provide a warmth feeling in the winter and a cool feeling in the summer.
