There are many things you can do if you want to brighten up your storage and closets. You can do this by bringing more brighter lighting fixtures by using CFL (Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs) to save energy and emit a brighter light, use battery operated light for smaller closets, LED sensor lights where the lights will automatically turn on when it’s opened, and up to the use of inner lighting inside the closet so that you can easily look what’s going on inside. But will that solve the problem? The answer is no. Why is that so? It’s because they’re artificial lighting which doesn’t bring any warmth and what you only get is solely light. So here are our professional tips of what you can do with your closets and make them healthy.

1. Make sure that the place you choose for closet isn’t too dark, too gloomy or damp. Damp place is the perfect place of breeding germs and bacteria as well as fungi.

2. Make sure it’s well ventilated. A well ventilated closet means that the room has a good air circulation which is also needed to keep your closet healthy and your clothes smells fresh (not just artificially fresh by using odors)

3. If your closet is on exterior wall then install a window or a good floor to ceiling doors with low-e glass attached to it. This is done so that natural light will come in and the bad lights don’t damage your clothing. By using low-e your room will have the right temperature.

4. Else than number 3 is that you can also use solar tubes. Solar tubes are another option to bounce sunlight from the roof down into your home space or closet.

5. If your closet is not on the exterior wall part then what you need to do is change the walls using glass materials where it can give extra natural lighting.

6. Organize well your closets, don’t get your clothing too pack and stuffy between one another, make sure you leave a nice space. (you can see on the pictures how it’s done)

7. If you decided that you don’t want your closets to get dusty and chooses a closed closets, make sure you routinely open them to get fresh air.

8. Look for ideas on the net.

It’s important to choose the right lighting for your closets beside the natural light given but make sure that you don’t depend on artificial lighting to make your closet a healthy closet. Stay tune and don’t go anywhere as we hope that this tips will be useful for our readers.
